I have a Chemical Guys Foam Cannon on the way. I have it narrowed down to these two pressure washers...

Amazon.com : Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 PSI 1.76 GPM Electric Pressure Washer, 14.5-Amp : Patio, Lawn & Garden (http://www.amazon.com/Joe-SPX3000-Electric-Pressure-14-5-Amp/dp/B00CPGMUXW/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t)

Shop Greenworks 2000-PSI 1.2-GPM Cold Water Electric Pressure Washer at Lowes.com (http://www.lowes.com/pd_623638-53393-GPW2000_0__?productId=50353386&Ntt=greenworks&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dgreenworks&facetInfo=)

Any reason why one would be better than the other?

Also will I need to buy a special fitting to attach the foam cannon to them?

A quick disconnect sold here on AG would be the ticket.

I have a Greenworks 1600 psi from Lowes. Got it for 90$ and 10$ for 2 year replacement added on.

It works like a champ and only turns on when you press the handle which is nice. Just an option if you have a problem, you can get it taken care of locally. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it. Plenty powerful for car purposes.

Do you use it with a foam cannon? If so does it put out a good amount of foam?

It works fairly well with the one included. I think it'll do just fine with a canon. That's my next purchase :)

If you use the one included, just put soap, no water. Its a great little pressure washer though.

I have the Sun Joe and love it, it also come with a quick disconnect by default.

Anyone use this one?
Shop All-Power America 1600 PSI 1.6-GPM Electric Pressure Washer at Lowes.com (http://www.lowes.com/pd_473285-48270-APW5005_0__?productId=4650587&Ntt=electric+pressure+washer&Ns=p_product_price|0&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_price%7C0%26Ntt%3Dele ctric%2Bpressure%2Bwasher%26page%3D1&facetInfo=)

It looks like it includes a foam cannon?! I wonder how THAT works?! Anyone try it yet?

You know, I like the option to return it locally if there is a problem with it plus being able to add on the replacement plan. I think i'm going to go with the Greenworks model.

I bought one of these thinking it would be a lot more portable than my 2600psi gas powered one. While it's a great little unit there's a night and day difference between the two washers with the foam cannon. The Greenworks makes suds mind you, but the gas powered one simply knocks it into the weeds for the way it works. Lowes sells one that's 2000 PSI, but IMHO you're touching gas powered territory then.

It's more a sudsy water than a foam.
