I got a Greenworks electric from Lowes, it was a Memorial day sale. So, the $200 version was $150. It will take paint off of concrete, if you spend enough time on it.

I cleaned the driveway, several hours a day, 2 days a weekend for 5 weekends. Probably 40 hours run time, and it never skipped. Since then, 2 years of general use and it's still perfect.

I added brass quick release connectors, a circular floor cleaner, and a foam cannon to wash the car. I love it.


I spent that much time because my driveway had not been cleaned in YEARS, is 20x200ft, and needed me to use the super fine "turbo" fitting, sweeping back and forth 2 inches at a time. It was a MESS. We get mold and mildew on every surface here, and it was actually accumulating into black piles as I washed it off the concrete. Now that I stripped that all off, I can use the 15 inch circular fitting once a year, and do the whole thing in one day.

I also stripped 300 square feet of desk down to fresh wood, and stripped 200 feet of cedar fencing down as well. Everything it touches, it makes pretty again.

exactly why you rent a big one to do 200ft drives

I have an el for small jobs
but borrow a buddy's gas for big stuff
