I've been looking online until my head is spinning and reading reviews on Amazon. Would mostly be used for washing my vehicles and I'd like to stay under $250, but under $200 would be even better. I'd like if it came with a foam canon or would accept 3rd party brand attached.

I tried using the Search function on the forum but mainly just highlighted "pressure washer" and not so much names of brand/model, other than I saw a few mention Sun Joe. But does the Sun Joe accept 3rd party canon (I see some have a detergent dispenser though)?

Karcher brand are pretty good for home use. Look at the PSI and if available to attach different nozzles. If it doesn't have a foam nozzle see if they sell one by the brand you're looking into or if it's compatible.

Several companies make foam "guns" that attach to a water hose. I have one from Chemical Guys that works really well. And I can run hot water through it where I can't with my pressure washer.

I have a Bauer from Harbor Freight. It will work with third party foam cannons. I got my cannon off of Amazon.

Home depot 2700 psi power washer with a Subaru engine, the more psi the better with a foam cannon. Here's the cannon I bought from Amazon https://a.co/d/aeqSN5o. The poor thing hasn't been washed in months, still getting snow once a week. Good luck with your search! :beer: :rockon:

I saw Harbor Freight had one for, I think, $89. Does that sound like what you have?
