The catch
Greenworks 3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer
The 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM on the headline never happen together. Greenworks specifies 1.1 GPM at 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM at 100 PSI.
Side by side
Greenworks 3000 vs EGO 3200 guide: EGO is cordless but still depends on a remote water supply
Quick verdict
For long cleaning sessions close to an outlet and a tap, the Greenworks 3000 fits best. If cords or getting water are your actual problem, choose the EGO 3200. It adds siphoning and battery power, though a remote job still needs a water supply you can realistically use.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
With a five-gallon container the wash is short
Holding the trigger at 1.2 GPM, five gallons runs out in about 4.2 minutes.
Where this comes from
The math is 5 ÷ 1.2 = 4.17 minutes, assuming the published EGO operating flow, usable water and no priming loss.
The catch
EGO Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit
Both of the supplied batteries are needed for Turbo mode, and runtime at sustained high output is much shorter than the up-to-60-minute Eco figure.
Greenworks 3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer
- Why pick it
- Your long cleaning sessions happen near outdoor power
- You can park a wheeled electric by a dependable tap
- The catch
- The 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM on the headline never happen together. Greenworks specifies 1.1 GPM at 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM at 100 PSI.
EGO Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit
- Why pick it
- Your work takes you out of range of an outlet
- Siphoning clean water out of a suitable container appeals to you
- The catch
- Both of the supplied batteries are needed for Turbo mode, and runtime at sustained high output is much shorter than the up-to-60-minute Eco figure.

In practice
Differences you will notice
With a five-gallon container the wash is short
Holding the trigger at 1.2 GPM, five gallons runs out in about 4.2 minutes.
How we worked this out
The math is 5 ÷ 1.2 = 4.17 minutes, assuming the published EGO operating flow, usable water and no priming loss.
Pressure differs modestly
About 6.7% higher is EGO's named high-pressure rating.
How we worked this out
This specification difference works out to (3200 − 3000) ÷ 3000 × 100 = 6.67%. It is not a measured cleaning-speed gain.
Going cordless takes away one supply line
EGO has no electrical cord, though a large wash still calls for tap-fed water or a substantial tank.
How we worked this out
Battery power and siphoning address different constraints. Two 6.0Ah batteries come in the supplied kit.
Option A
Greenworks, GPW3002A Gen 2
3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer
Corded and high-output, with a steady wheeled frame and a brushless motor. Its operating pressure is enough for most hard-surface cleaning around a house.
- Best for
- Top all-round pick among electric pressure washers
Facts we checked
- PWMA certified at 3000 PSI and 1.1 GPM, with maximum flow of 2.0 GPM at 100 PSI
- A brushless electric motor, a 25-foot pressure hose and a 35-foot GFCI cord
- Five quick-connect tips in 15°, 25°, 40°, soap and turbo
Option B
EGO, HPW3204-2
Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit
Of the cordless washers here, this is the strongest. It has dual batteries, selectable modes and a siphon hose, which helps when outlets or taps are out of easy reach.
- Best for
- High-end cordless cleaning far from a tap
Facts we checked
- Maximum of 3200 PSI, with 1.2 GPM at pressure and 2.0 GPM maximum flow
- Two 56V 6.0Ah batteries come in the kit. EGO specifies up to 60 minutes in Eco mode
- IPX4 weather-resistance rating, plus a brushless motor, siphon hose and onboard mode control
Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Greenworks 3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer | EGO Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Working output | 3000 PSI at 1.1 GPM | 3200 PSI at 1.2 GPM | Rely on paired pressure and flow figures and not on the separate 2.0 GPM maxima. |
| Power supply | Outdoor electrical outlet | Two 56V batteries | Work without interruption is easier with an outlet, and batteries give you freedom of placement. |
| Remote water | Pressurized inlet supply | Siphon hose included | If you bring enough clean water, EGO can make up for a missing tap. |
| Runtime limit | No battery recharge | Up to 60 minutes in Eco | Battery demand is different for high-pressure work. |
| What you buy | Corded GPW3002A | HPW3204-2 battery kit | Buying a bare tool is not the same as buying a two-battery kit. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Greenworks 3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer
- Compared with compact suitcase-style electrics it is bulkier and heavier. Its edge on hard surfaces also falls short of the sustained flow the leading gas models deliver.
With EGO Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit
- The two-battery kit weighs a lot and costs more than a corded washer. Siphoning also calls for clean water and proper priming.
Decision guide
How to decide
Pick the Greenworks 3000 if you clean for long stretches near an outlet and a tap. Pick the EGO 3200 if the cord or water access is what holds you back. The EGO brings siphoning and battery power, but a remote job still needs a water supply that works in practice.
You may run out of water before the batteries die
Planning an off-grid wash? Work out how much water you can carry before you buy batteries. EGO publishes a 1.2 GPM high-pressure operating point, so five gallons gives about 4.2 minutes of nonstop spraying, before priming losses. Squeezing the trigger on and off stretches the elapsed time but adds no water. A small bucket fits a rinse job far better than a driveway.
The extra 200 PSI is not what decides this matchup
By the named ratings, EGO is 3200 PSI with 1.2 GPM and Greenworks is 3000 PSI with 1.1 GPM. That is close enough for access, interruptions and the nozzle to matter more than the pressure difference. Neither machine reaches its separate 2.0 GPM maximum at the headline pressure, and we do not merge those maximums into a cleaning score.
Think through the entire session
With the Greenworks there is no charging to manage, and with the EGO there is no power cord. Either way you still need setup, clean water, a suitable spray pattern and storage that is safe from freezing. The up-to-60-minute figure for EGO applies to Eco mode with the specified batteries. It does not promise an hour at maximum output. Only buy the HPW3204-2 kit if the batteries it includes fit your workload.
What this page can’t tell you
- There is no matched stain-removal test or maximum-mode runtime test here.
- Never aim a concentrated jet at paint, seals or people.
