Advice on Pressure Washer and foam cannon/lance

From what I gathered 1600-2000psi is more than enough for the electric pressure washer. However, not all pressure washers have detachable wands so it makes it difficult to attach a foam cannon/lance. I would have to get some type of fitting to make it work.

SO what pressure washer would you guys recommend? Budget is about $200 for a electric pressure washer.

What are the differences b/t the foam cannon/lance. Which one would give the thicker foam? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I have a Karcher 2000PSI electric pressure washer and Pinnacle Foam Cannon.

It works pretty well but I don't use it very often. Too lazy to get the pressure washer out of storage. The foam is very thick just using ordinary car wash soap.

I think thats what happens with a lot of these things.


Vendors show thier guys using them in every detail they post ( have to sell stuff you know ) but after you get one and you find the end result is more offset but the effort required to set up and take down and put away ... it ends up with the Thigh Master and the tread mill.

I made my own and only used it twice .. I found the foam to be useful at all had to sit on the car but even on summer mornings it was drying on the car before there was any benifit.
