Main trade-off
Greenworks 3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer
Its headline 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM are separate operating points: Greenworks specifies 1.1 GPM at 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM at 100 PSI.
Head-to-head
Greenworks 3000 vs EGO 3200: EGO removes the power cord but still needs a remote water supply
The short answer
Choose the Greenworks 3000 for long cleaning sessions near an outlet and tap. Choose the EGO 3200 when cords or access to water are the real problem. EGO adds siphoning and battery power, but a remote job still needs a realistic water supply.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
A five-gallon container is a short wash
At 1.2 GPM, five gallons lasts about 4.2 minutes with the trigger held.
What this is based on
5 ÷ 1.2 = 4.17 minutes. Assumes the published EGO operating flow, usable water and no priming loss.
Main trade-off
EGO Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit
Turbo mode requires both supplied batteries, and sustained high-output runtime is much shorter than the up-to-60-minute Eco figure.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
A five-gallon container is a short wash
At 1.2 GPM, five gallons lasts about 4.2 minutes with the trigger held.
How we reached this conclusion
5 ÷ 1.2 = 4.17 minutes. Assumes the published EGO operating flow, usable water and no priming loss.
The pressure gap is modest
EGO's named high-pressure rating is about 6.7% higher.
How we reached this conclusion
(3200 − 3000) ÷ 3000 × 100 = 6.67%. This is a specification difference, not a measured cleaning-speed gain.
Cordless removes one supply line
EGO avoids the electrical cord, but a large wash still needs tap-fed water or a substantial tank.
How we reached this conclusion
Battery power and siphoning solve separate constraints. The supplied kit has two 6.0Ah batteries.
Choice A
Greenworks, GPW3002A Gen 2
3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer
A high-output corded model with a stable wheeled frame, brushless motor and enough operating pressure for most residential hard-surface work.
- Best matched use
- Best all-round electric pressure washer
Checked facts
- PWMA-certified 3000 PSI at 1.1 GPM, with 2.0 GPM maximum flow at 100 PSI
- Brushless electric motor with a 25-foot pressure hose and 35-foot GFCI cord
- Five quick-connect tips: 15°, 25°, 40°, soap and turbo
Choice B
EGO, HPW3204-2
Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit
The strongest cordless option in this set, with dual batteries, selectable modes and a siphon hose for cleaning where outlets or taps are inconvenient.
- Best matched use
- Premium cordless cleaning away from taps
Checked facts
- 3200 PSI maximum, 1.2 GPM at pressure and 2.0 GPM maximum flow
- Kit includes two 56V 6.0Ah batteries. EGO specifies up to 60 minutes in Eco mode
- Brushless motor, siphon hose, onboard mode control and IPX4 weather-resistance rating
Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Greenworks 3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer | EGO Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Working output | 3000 PSI at 1.1 GPM | 3200 PSI at 1.2 GPM | Use paired pressure and flow figures, not the separate 2.0 GPM maxima. |
| Power supply | Outdoor electrical outlet | Two 56V batteries | An outlet favors uninterrupted work. Batteries favor freedom of placement. |
| Remote water | Pressurized inlet supply | Siphon hose included | EGO can solve a missing tap if you bring enough clean water. |
| Runtime limit | No battery recharge | Up to 60 minutes in Eco | High-pressure work has a different battery demand. |
| What you buy | Corded GPW3002A | HPW3204-2 battery kit | A bare tool and a two-battery kit are different purchases. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Greenworks 3000 PSI Brushless Electric Pressure Washer
- It is bulkier and heavier than compact suitcase-style electrics, and its hard-surface advantage does not equal the sustained flow of the gas leaders.
If you choose EGO Power+ 3200 PSI Cordless Pressure Washer Kit
- The two-battery kit is heavy and costly compared with a corded washer. Siphoning also needs clean water and correct priming.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
The water can run out before the batteries
For an off-grid wash, count the water you can bring before buying batteries. At EGO's published 1.2 GPM high-pressure operating point, five gallons allows about 4.2 minutes of continuous spraying before priming losses. Intermittent trigger use stretches elapsed time, but it does not create more water. A small bucket suits a rinse job much better than a driveway.
An extra 200 PSI does not settle this comparison
The named ratings put EGO at 3200 PSI with 1.2 GPM and Greenworks at 3000 PSI with 1.1 GPM. Those are close enough that access, interruptions and the nozzle can matter more than the pressure gap. Neither machine delivers its separate 2.0 GPM maximum at the headline pressure. We do not combine those maxima into a cleaning score.
Plan for the whole session
Greenworks removes charging from the job, while EGO removes the power cord. Both still require setup, clean water, a suitable spray pattern and storage protected from freezing. EGO's up-to-60-minute figure belongs to Eco mode with the specified batteries, not a promise of an hour at maximum output. Buy the HPW3204-2 kit only if its included batteries suit your workload.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- No matched stain-removal or maximum-mode runtime test is available here.
- Do not use a concentrated jet on paint, seals or people.
