Greenworks G24PW Review UK (2026)

Buy the Greenworks G24PW if you already run 24V, or you want the cheapest named cordless gun and 24 bar will do. This review is only about the G24PW handheld: what the carton actually contains, and when to walk away. The class shortlist is the cordless pressure washer guide. The job page is bikes.

It is not a lab test. Specs come from Greenworks. Street prices come from Amazon, Greenworks UK and UK shops in August 2026.

If you click through and buy, we may earn a commission.

It is a cheap 24V handheld, not a mains substitute. Rated pressure is 24 bar. Flow is 180 L/h. That sits with a Kärcher OC 6-18, not with a Worx or a tap-fed K2. Treat it as a strong hose you can take to a water butt. It will rinse a bike and garden furniture. It will not strip a mossy patio. Buy it because the packs are already on the shelf, or because the tool-only price under £100 is the point. Do not buy it because it looks tidy in a cupboard.

If you want more punch in a light gun, that is the Worx HydroShot. If you already own Ryobi ONE+, stay on those packs. A cheap mains box sits on the budget shortlist. First-use setup, nozzles and frost drain-down are on how to use a pressure washer.

Who it is for

This is the cheap named handheld in the 24 bar class. Buy it if most of the list below is true.

• The jobs are one or two bikes, garden furniture, muddy boots, and the odd light car rinse after a brush.
• You will drop a siphon in a bucket or a water butt. You will not park a trolley.
• You already own Greenworks 24V batteries, or you will buy a 2Ah pack and a charger as well as the gun.
• 24 bar is enough. You are not trying to strip moss or wash a family car every weekend.
• The tool-only price under £100 is the point, and you accept that the honest first cost is tool plus pack plus charger.
• You do not already own this gun. If you do, buy a spare pack, not another G24PW.

That is the buyer the cordless guide already treats as the budget handheld. The bikes page treats it as the cheap bike gun if 24V is already there. It is not the default household cordless. That is still the Worx if you want more punch and you are starting a battery family from scratch.

Skip it if

• You have a tap, a 13A socket and a patio or a weekly family car. This gun is not a cheaper K2. 24 bar will rinse. It will not strip moss from a terrace. Start on the budget page if money is tight, or the cordless guide only if the socket is missing.
• You want more punch and you do not already run 24V. That is the Worx HydroShot. 38 bar rated, 1.5 kg, a battery in the kit carton. The extra money buys pressure and a pack in the box.
• You already live on Ryobi ONE+ and do not want a second battery family. That is the RY18PWX41A on the cordless guide. Three pressure steps and a tap hook-up. Not a pick here.
• There is no tap and you refuse to carry a bucket. A siphon gun still needs water you bring. That is a trolley on the tank page, not a heavier Greenworks.
• You want a built-in tank and wheels. This is a 4 kg gun. The water lives in the bucket. If that sentence puts you off, leave this page.
• You already own this pump. Add a 2Ah or 4Ah 24V pack. Another G24PW is a duplicate.

Greenworks G24PW

The cheap handheld if 24 bar is enough

• Buy: Greenworks G24PW from £89.99. Greenworks UK has listed £95 tool-only. Some kit listings around £107.23
• Pressure: 24 bar
• Flow: 180 L/h
• Battery: Greenworks 24V, sold separately. A 2Ah pack has been about £30 from Greenworks
• Water: 6 m siphon hose with filter. No built-in tank
• Weight: 4 kg
• Who it is for: bikes and furniture if you already run 24V, or you want the cheapest named cordless gun and 24 bar will do

This is a gun, not a shed machine. You drop the siphon in a bucket or a water butt, click a wide fan, and rinse from a distance. 24 bar is still well above a garden hose, which is about 2 to 4 bar. It is enough to lift dried mud from a downtube if you have already brushed the worst of it. It is more than you should put into a bike hub, a headset or an e-bike battery bay.

It will not pretend to be a 38 bar Worx, and it will not pretend to be a 110 bar K2. Flow is 180 L/h. A Worx tops out at 220 L/h. A K2 Home is 360 L/h. Those extra litres rinse shampoo and stone cleaner. This gun rinses a frame, a set of chairs and a careful car. Pressure sits with the OC 6-18. Shop 24 bar and the 4 kg weight. Do not shop a catalogue adjective.

Tool or pack

Buy the tool only if you already own Greenworks 24V packs. Street bare is from £89.99. Greenworks UK has listed the tool-only carton at £95. That is the under-£100 cordless row on the budget page. A 2Ah pack is a bike-and-boots battery. A 4Ah pack is the one if chairs or a car join the job.

Buy a pack and a charger as well if you do not already own the batteries. The honest first cost is tool plus battery plus charger, not the tile that says £89.99. A 2Ah pack has been about £30 from Greenworks. Some kit listings have sat around £107.23. Confirm what is in the carton. A listing that shows a gun and no pack is the tool-only listing.

Pressure and the nozzle

The 5-in-1 nozzle is the daily control. Fan on the frame, the paint and the furniture. The lowest, widest step for glass, stickers, a saddle and anything with a badge. 24 bar is the useful household figure on this gun. It is not a peak-versus-rated trick. There is no 56 bar number hiding behind the 24.

A narrow jet is for stubborn dirt on a surface you will not mind marking. Leave it off a cassette, a chain, a headset, a hub, a bottom bracket, a disc rotor and any e-bike battery bay. The same rule as a dirt blaster on a mains machine. People leave a tight jet clicked on by mistake. That is how grease leaves a drivetrain and water finds a seal.

A bike is an open frame. Paint on a car is a sealed skin. Both want a wide fan and distance. Stand 30 cm or more from a frame. Further is safer on lacquer. Keep the lance moving. Soap is a low-pressure job: a mitt or a brush, then a fan rinse. The detergent bottle is for that wash, not for a patio chemical. Bike and paint notes sit on the bikes page. First-use nozzle order is on the how-to page.

Battery and runtime

The platform is Greenworks 24V. One family across the garden range. That is the reason to buy this gun if the packs are already on the shelf. It is also the reason to skip it if the packs on the shelf are Worx or Ryobi. A bargain tool that needs a new charger and two packs is not a bargain.

Greenworks does not publish a runtime for the G24PW. Plan around the pack you buy, not a number on the box. A 2Ah pack is one dirty bike and a pair of boots. A 4Ah pack is the one if a set of chairs or a careful car join the job. It is not a family-fleet wash. A second pack is the practical answer, not a wish that the pump would sip less.

Keep the jet off the pack. Close any cover. Do not stand the gun in a puddle. Rinse the inlet filter on the siphon. Grit wrecks these pumps faster than a short runtime will annoy you. Greenworks quotes a 3-year guarantee on the tool. That is the named-brand reason to pick this over a no-name 21V tile, not a reason to treat 24 bar as a patio class.

Water: bucket or butt

The G24PW does not carry water. That is the point and the limit. The 6 m siphon hose draws from a bucket or a water butt. There is no onboard tank. The filter on the hose is not optional if the butt has sat all winter.

Use clean water. Sand in a pump is a new gun. Fill the bucket at the kitchen tap if the water butt is green. You refill the bucket. You do not get a 12 litre trolley for this money. If you refuse that sentence, the tank page is the honest next read, not a more expensive Greenworks carton.

A siphon feed does not turn this into a mains washer. Pressure and flow stay 24 bar and 180 L/h. You only stop walking back to the tap. That is useful on a bike in the yard. It is not a reason to skip a K2 if the tap and the socket are already there and the Saturday includes chairs and a small car every week.

Weight and daily use

4 kg. That is the number most tiles skip. A Worx is 1.5 kg without the battery. A Ryobi is 2 kg bare. This gun is closer to a compact K2 than to a boot-bag lance. You will carry it. You will not forget you are carrying it. Fine on the drive. Less fine up a flight of stairs after every ride.

Six metres of siphon hose is reach to a water butt, not hose to walk a van. Park the bucket near the work. On a bike in the yard that is fine. On a car you will move the bucket once. On a long path you wanted a mains hose, not a longer siphon.

After the job, run the pump on a bucket of clean water if you have been in a butt. Drain what you can before frost. A handheld still holds water in the head. The how-to page has the drain-down habit for any washer you will leave in a shed. This one is small enough to come indoors, even at 4 kg.

Which carton

1. You already own Greenworks 24V packs. Tool only, from £89.99, about £95 at Greenworks UK. Use a 4Ah pack if the job is more than one bike.
2. You own no 24V batteries, and 24 bar is enough. Tool plus a 2Ah pack, about £30 from Greenworks, plus a charger. Walk the live total against a kit listing around £107.23 and confirm the contents.
3. You already own this gun. A spare 2Ah or 4Ah pack. Not a second G24PW.
4. You want more punch and you are happy to start 20V PowerShare. Leave this page. Read the Worx HydroShot review.
5. You already live on Ryobi ONE+. Do not start a second family for a cheaper 24 bar tool. Read the cordless guide and stay on the packs you have.

There is only one G24PW we will send you to. Shop G24PW. Confirm 24V, the 5-in-1 nozzle and the 6 m siphon hose with filter. A listing that only shows a bottle and no hose is a different carton. A listing that shouts a higher bar is not this gun.

Not a mains substitute

A cordless gun is for the job where the lead and the garden hose are more hassle than the dirt. It is not the household washer. 24 bar and 180 L/h will not do a green drive. Runtime and water volume run out before the slabs do. If the Saturday is cars and a normal patio, and the tap and the socket are there, buy mains. The budget page is the price-cap shortlist. A K4 is the usual house buy when you can spend about £200.

Worx and Ryobi are the other named handhelds. They are not picks on this page. The Worx Nitro HydroShot is the default light gun if you want more punch: 38 bar rated, 1.5 kg, from £129.99 bare. The RY18PWX41A is the ONE+ gun, £120 to £129.90 bare, if those packs are on the shelf. Both sit on the cordless guide. A Fontus or an OC 6-18 is a tank trolley, not a G24PW with a jug glued on. That comparison is the tank page.

FAQ

Is the Greenworks G24PW worth it?

Yes, if you already run 24V, or the tool-only price under £100 is the point and 24 bar will do bikes and furniture. No, if you have a tap and a socket and you will wash a patio. No, if you want more punch and you are starting from no batteries. That is the Worx. At from £89.99 it is the cheapest named handheld we will send you to. Add a pack and a charger before you call it cheap.

Does it come with a battery?

Usually not. The tool-only carton is from £89.99, or £95 at Greenworks UK. A 2Ah pack has been about £30 from Greenworks. Some kit listings sit around £107.23. Shop the contents list and the live total. There is one button on this page for both.

Is 24 bar enough?

For a bike, chairs and a careful rinse, yes, if you foam or brush first. For road film on a weekly family car, or for moss on slabs, no. A garden hose is about 2 to 4 bar, so 24 bar is still a real step up. A Worx is 38 bar rated. A K2 is 110 bar. Shop the job, not the biggest number on a neighbouring tile.

Can the G24PW wash a car?

Yes, if you treat it as a wash, not a blast. Foam or shampoo, mitt, then a fan rinse. A 2Ah pack is tight on a hatchback. A 4Ah pack is the one if the car is a regular job. None of that replaces a mains washer for a family that washes every weekend. Paint notes sit on the bikes page. This gun is still a handheld.

Can it do a patio?

A small, lightly dirty patch, on a narrow jet, if you accept a slow job and a battery swap. A green terrace, driveway oil or a full set of slabs wants a mains machine in the 130 bar class. Cordless water volume is the limit, not just bar. Do not buy this as a patio washer and hope.

Do I need a tap?

No. That is why this gun exists. You need a water source: a bucket or a water butt. A K2 without a tap is a box in the kitchen. A G24PW without a bucket is a dry motor. The no-tap trolley, if you will not carry water, is on the tank page.

How long does the battery last?

Greenworks does not publish a runtime. Plan the job around the pack, not a claim. A 2Ah pack is one dirty bike. A 4Ah pack is chairs or a rinsed car. Swap packs. Do not stand there waiting for a charger to refill a cell between arches.

Greenworks, Worx or Ryobi?

Greenworks if 24V is already there, or the tool-only price under £100 is the point and 24 bar will do. Worx if you want the strongest light gun and you are happy on 20V PowerShare. That deep page is the Worx HydroShot review. Ryobi if ONE+ is already in the shed. That class argument stays on the cordless guide. This page will not re-shortlist them.
