Looking for a good bang for buck PW to use with a foam cannon. I would think 1500-1800psi would be more than enough , but I will let you guys chime in, thanks..

I have the 2000 PSI Karcher X Series... I would not recommend it. Too expensive for what you get, and although mine is still working after 4 years, I wish I had gotten something different. Kind of hoping it breaks so I can buy something else

Check out either the Sun Joe SPX3000 or SPX3001 if you're looking for corded electric. Both are well regarded machines, especially under $180.

While my Karcher will keep on going and going and the wind up hose is convenient, I get so tired of getting the kinks, knots or whatever you want to call them out of the hose. It refuses to stay straight.

The wind up handle is cheap and the tires don't always rotate, but it keeps on working after years of use.

ryobi 2000psi unit from home depot....i think they are like $150 dollars now. Much quieter than the ryobi 1600psi unit that i used for many years before. Get teh 3 year replacement warranty that's like an extra 10-15 bucks. No need for fancy shmancy PWs... I used the top of the line model Kranzle at a customer's house (virtually brand new unit) and was extremely underwhelmed....would never think of paying that kind of coin for one because I do not see the value in it.

Hell yeah, I'll probably pick one up too. I didn't even think about HF, thanks..

Jbreezie

Yeah....don't get the HF washer! Hard to find fittings! I'm returning it for the Green works!

Just curious, what fitting are you looking to find? I'm assuming they're using M23 threads instead of the standard M22?

My battery powered pressure washer has this "problem" so I bought an adapter and now I can use the standard stuff.

Nilfisk Kew Alto. I rather return it than deal with the hassle with the other things.

So I have used a cheap harbor freight and chewed up serpentine belts, a pressure washer is something I will never use on a cars paint job. Good ole low psi garden hose for me.

My HF PW is almost 2 months old so returning it is not an option for me. I'm not complaining about the PW itself, I paid $80 for it with an online coupon. Had I known it was going to be a pita to fit an aftermarket Foam cannon to it, I would of looked elsewhere.




Which adapter did you buy and where?

GSteg

Harbor Freight has a 90 day return policy if you do decide to return it.

You'll need to change out your spray gun in order to use the aftermarket foam cannon. The adapter is just a coupler to convert from M23 to M22 thread. Female or male end depends on which gun you go with. Look to spend around $30-40 for the gun/adapter. I bought my spray gun from Amazon and the adapter from eBay.
