Anyone using an electric power washer with a foam cannon? Considering buying an electric power washer since my gas powered has been acting up lately

I do. Bought a hyper tough 1600 from Walmart. Small cheap portable and gets the job done. Picked up a foam cannon from amazon, dusichin Sfl-001. I’m happy. I can’t copy paste the links with this new iOS 13 or I would.

I use a Sunjoe. You can pick one up for $100 when home depot has them on their special buy of the day. I upgraded mine with some items from Obsessed Garage.

I'm using a Sun Joe and MTM foam cannon. Works great!
I would suggest adding the extension hose to loop around the truck easier.

I've been using the harbor freight power washer with amazon foam cannon for a few months and it works great. My neighbor suggested it to me and said he's had his for two years with no issues.

I used to use this setup but I no longer use my foam cannon. I still do 2 bucket with grit guard wash though.

I just used my foam cannon toady in the cool days of October here in Toronto. Extremely fun and everyone takes a second look in my neighborhood.

As long as you have the garage space for a pressure washer, the cannon, a couple of wash buckets, microfiber towels as well as any other sprays. (Wheel cleaner, glass cleaner, wax, polish, buffer, etc)
I didn't consider this first and ended up having to spend time/money on these things.

Plus it's a nice thing you learn over time. It's cheaper then going to a drive-through, safer if you're careful with what you're doing as well as some bonding time with your family if they choose to help out.

Hope this helps.

I use an electric pressure washer, small one from Lowe’s for less than $100 that came with a small soap cannon, and just bought a cheap ($12) bigger soap cannon that I can hopefully try out tomorrow. I’ve used it few times so far and love it. Makes it much easier. 1700psi and 1.7gpm. No complaints here.

Ya some extra length never hurt (insert pun here). But also take into consideration the length of the hose from the unit to the wand. Just a thought. Mines is a 20ft hose and 35ft power cord.

Walmart.con has a Stanley 2000 on clearance right now for $108, but it only has 13 reviews and I cannot find the same model reviewed elsewhere. The Chinese marketing tactic of making several different ones that are all spec’d alike is confusing. Anyone have it?

Karcher 1700 is about the best budget pressure washer their is. If you want the best go with a Kranzle...

The cheapo Stanley that I got from Wallymart works fine. I still mainly use it to clear off road grime and then use a soft brush.
As far as the number of models of the Stanley, someone went crazy making differing labels at the Chinese factory. It's hard to even count how many slightly different ones there are. (Ok that's an exaggeration but still, there's several).
