I am overly impressed with the overall performance of the unit. A bit pricey at around $250 with battery, but a fantastic solution, if you need one.
    Just an FYI, it doesn’t look like Greenworks makes that cordless bucket model or any cordless pressure washer anymore as I didn’t find it on their website.

    Re: Apartment washing without a hose

    Haven’t used it as I have power and water access. Seems to popular in the UK as long as you set expectations that it is not true PW.
    From what i’ve seen it has the most Psi’s and Gpm’s of all cordless/hoseless options

    Been using the Sunjoe SPX 6000c xf battery powered, works great. Holds 3 gallons. I foam with an IK sprayer first then off to the races to wash it. Final rinse with a gallon of DI water

    Looks like the Karcher lists 600 psi at 1 GPM. I'm getting a greenworks unit that is 800 psi at .9 GPM; Sunjoe one ups them at 1160 psi at 1 GPM.

    Dewalt has a cordless unit like a Hydroshot that's 550psi at 1 gpm. Newer Hydroshot ultra is 725psi at 1.1 gpm. Ryobi lists 320 psi at .8 gpm.

    Um, not that I've been looking at cordless pressure washers at all lately...

    dgage - You can still get the Greenworks unit at Bestbuy or over on the exotic river. I sent them an email to find out if the 3 year old warranty is valid even though they're no longer listed on the website, I'll update when I find out.

    Nice! That Ryobi looks like it has more pressure than my 20V Hydroshot has.

    Re: Apartment washing without a hose

    I forgot all about this....

    There are power washers in the market that can siphon water from a non traditional source (such as water in a barrel or bucket). I believe Karcher is one such manufacturer. They actually sell a suction hose to go along with their units. I personally dont have a Karcher but maybe someone on the board can confirm this.

    Small world Mike. We will be heading to Minot next week. The Daughter is there married to a TSGT, his first and only permanent base and heading for his third tour. He polishes missles for the lack of honesty.

    The Ryobi unit and Base model Hydroshot are both rated at 320psi.

    Either way works out and gives you the option to have a pressurized water source when none is available.

    I have a Karcher unit as well but the GPM is too high and would suck down a 5 gallon bucket pretty quick. The tradeoff is that I have lower PSI with this Ryobi.
