Searching for a Power Washer...

Hey everyone,

I'm searching for a power washer...looking for fellow detailers suggetions...

Thanks!

[killrwheels@autogeek]

for car (lighter power) or home (higher psi) ?? Target had a 1600psi unit from Black/Decker for 88.00 last week from 159.99. Also saw an 1800psi Karcher at BigLots for around 100.00. I dont think I would use one more powerful on cars. My home unit is 2500PSI from Craftsman and gas motor powered.

Always liked Karcher, but on the other hand ive never tryed other brands, so i cant say wich is the best of the bunch, but one thing is great regarding the Karcher and that is all the extra stuff that can be bought and fitted to it..

i'm looking for a car use power washer...and one that i could connect a foam gun too

Well you need a foam lance then (foam gun is for the reg garden hose), and after what ive seen around they offer that to the Karcher (i got one) that works very well..

I dont remember the site, but i saw they had many different foam lances to many differet power washers so is possible to get lances to others to, but i guess its easyest getting one to the Karcher...

AG should start selling those foam lances imo

I came across this pressure washer the Sistema TR11 1500/psi 1.4 gpm and saw that it listed a foaming attachment as part of its included accessories.

It retails for about 125-149 another member saw it at Sams Club for 115.00.
Its an electric model but at $115 if it includes a decent foaming attachment its a bargain.

I dont know if the brand/model is any good. I made a few posts to see if anyone had any experience with it but never heard back.

Like Killr I've got the Craftsman 2500 psi Honda motor. I just had to replace (stolen) mine and while talking to the salesgirl she said that they go on sale about every month or two so don't plan on paying full price. I think that PW with the white nozzle is perfect for cars if you keep a smart distance.

I have a Karcher, I think it's 1650 psi.... bought it for around $80 @ Big Lots..

Has served me well thus far.
