one , dont cheap out on pressure washers . check out the reviews if there r any . both of them do not have quick change spray tips which will then require a adapter in order to make a foam cannon work . i dont care for the all plastic spray wands. I'm pretty sure u can get adapter for the karcher , the clean force idk ? ag does have adapters for some pressure washers . I bought a greenworks brand from lowes no adapters needed . lots of good reviews . whatever u get if it don't have the quick change/release spray tips then make sure u can get an adapter then to make the foam cannon work .

If u don't mind my piggybacking on this thread, I have always wondered.....since I imagine a pressure washer will strip protectin, shoud it only be used for full details and not maintenance washes? I am in the market fo one, too.

Which greenworks did you get? I actually have the adapters for the foam cannon. I bought a set of 5 adapters for different pressure washers. I bought them from another website

I did my research on these quite a bit last month. You want to get the best one that fits your budget. My recommendation would be to get one that has a rebuildable pump and a high GPM. Most of the cheaper ones don't have a rebuildable pump and the cost to replace the pump is damn near the price of a new pressure washer.

I ended up getting this unit and couldn't be happier: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200350617_200350617

A buddy of mine had the older version of this and he really likes it.

Loving it. Look for future (at this point classified ) upgrades but will be based off this set up. So I would definitely purchase this set up a few times over. :dblthumb2:

Awesome. I just remember one of my friends is a manager at HD I just texted him. Hopefully he can get a discount on it.
Is the extra hose needed for sure or did you just opt to set it up that way?

same one I have .
while a foam cannon will fit on this with , I don't like how long everything is with the cannon on the end , tip heavy . so with the adapter that came with the mtm , I just unscrew the wand end off and screw the cannon end in then , cuts off about 2' of length . or u can just use the quick fitting connect if u don't care how long it is .

My local post office has a change of address packet that you get when you move and need to change your home address/forward mail. Included in that packet is a bunch of coupons and advertisements for local businesses, one of which is a 10% off coupon for Lowes. Home depot accepts competitors coupons so you can use it at either HD or Lowes. Maybe that'll help stretch your budget a little bit. Good luck
