Greenworks Pro Brushless 3000 PSI
The brushless motor genuinely helps longevity, which is the only reason it edges the old SPX3000, but Car and Driver measured 2600 psi against a 3000 psi claim, so the headline spec is marketing. Buy the DeWalt DWPW2600 instead.

2 of 10 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.
Car and Driver's testing found the headline spec is marketing: it claims 3000 psi but only achieved a max of 2600 psi in their test, so you are paying for a pressure figure the machine does not deliver. Buy the DeWalt DWPW2600 or the WPX3200 instead.
