Greenworks 2100 PSI Pressure Washer
Score: 72/100
Kärcher K 1
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Greenworks 2100 PSI Compact Electric Pressure Washer is a corded unit designed for medium-duty residential cleaning tasks, featuring a 13Amp universal motor and a 25-foot hose with a reel. Its key strength is the PWMA certification and compact storage design, making it convenient for home use. However, it is heavier than cordless options and users report it feels weaker than gas models. It is best suited for homeowners prioritizing electric convenience and ease of use over heavy-duty power.
The Kärcher K 1 is a compact, lightweight electric pressure washer designed for light-duty, occasional cleaning tasks around the home. Its main trade-off is the low 1700 PSI power and short hose length, which limit its effectiveness for larger or tougher jobs. It is best suited for beginners, apartment dwellers, or those needing to clean small items like bikes and patio furniture.
