Power washers are fabulous cleaning tools. What a few years ago would need to be sandblasted or treated with harsh chemicals, can now be cleaned with only water.
Power washing gets into all the crevices to boost your cleaning performance. And we are not only talking about simply cleaning, but you can also strip paint, remove caked-on gunk, and get rid of any mould or mildew that has been growing for months.
Such a versatile tool is something you need to have in your arsenal, and fortunately, you don’t need to break the bank to have it. The Greenworks G4 Pressure Washer is not only affordable but powerful as well.
Let’s take a look at it in this in-depth review…

130 Bar Pressure
All pressure washers have a similar way of working. After water enters the unit, a motor activates a pump, which sends the water through a nozzle at high speed and pressure.
130 Bar classifies this pressure washer as a light-duty device. It is powerful enough to clean your patio furniture and siding, wash your boat, car or truck, or clean sidewalks, fences, patios and decks. It can even get rid of all that charred debris on your grill!
Foam sprayer nozzle
If you have a dirty car parked in your garage, you will love this. Just fill up the 0.5-litre foam spray bottle with pressure washer shampoo, and it will cover your vehicle with foam. All the dirt that’s on your car will roll away with it.
Once you start cleaning your car, there will be no debris left around to scratch the paint when you use your sponge. Using foam is much more efficient than using plain water to get rid of dirt and grease, and some shampoo brands will even protect the paint while they are soaking
420 Litres per hour
Pressure washers are classified depending on their pressure and their water flow. If you have two models that show the same pressure, always go with the one with a higher water flow.
Turbo Nozzle
The pressure washer features a click-fast device connection system. Switching nozzles depending on your cleaning task takes no effort and can be done in a few seconds.
The turbo nozzle will deliver a rotating spray pattern to clean a larger area up to 50% faster than by using a regular nozzle.
Potent motor
This pressure washer uses three axial stainless steel pistons. The motor has a total stop system, which will automatically shut off the pump when you are not pressing the trigger. This conserves electricity and saves water.
It also includes a built-in thermal protector which will turn the washer off to prevent overheating.
Patio cleaner accessory
For your decking, the patio cleaner accessory will take just a few minutes to remove any soil and leave it looking like new.
It is designed to get into any cracks or grooves, and you will be surprised by how much gunk will be sprayed out. Even if you think your deck is already clean, give it a pass with this accessory and you will see a huge difference.
Advantages
- Changing nozzles is quick and easy
- Turbo nozzle gets the job done quickly
- Patio accessory will make your floor sparkle
- 6-meter hose and 5-meter cable for excellent mobility
- Hose reel for fast storage
Disadvantages
- Motor is a bit noisy
10 Bar inlet
The G4 pressure washer can handle an inlet water pressure of 10 bars. Do make sure your water supply does not exceed this rating or it could harm the device.
Vario power spray wand
The spray wand lets you adjust the stream by rotating the nozzle. You can get a wide fan stream to cover a large area or to clean delicate surfaces, and a narrow, strong spray which will blast away any stubborn stains.
Built-in hose reel
A 6-meter high-pressure hose lets you cover a wide area when you are cleaning, but can be a pain to store once you are finished. Fortunately, this pressure washer has a hose reel included.
Featuring a crank rewind, this reel will allow your hose to be dispensed and retracted easily. No more coiling by hand is necessary. This also helps extend the life of your hose since it prevents kinks and binding.
Easy to move around
A couple of large, sturdy wheels make it easy to pull your washer around. There is also a comfortable carrying handle, and the unit can be operated both in horizontal or vertical positions.
On board storage space and a pressure gun holster makes packing up the pressure washer after use as simple as can be.
