    Not sure where you are. But in Canada you can get a decent one at Canadian tire for around $150. I got mine $110 off. It's a electric 1800 PSI washer. I'll admit it isn't gonna be something that blows you away but does the job for most vehicles unless you're off-roading.

    If you in the U.S the options are endless LOL. I'd head over to homedepot and see what they have. I believe they have the financing option too if you wanna splurge and get a gas one What pressure washer n foam cannon do you use?

    Re: What pressure washer n foam cannon do you use?

    You'll want the highest Gallons/Minute you can find - and with that budget electric is the only real choice....

    $250 may be a tight budget for all that is needed...

    - Pressure Washer
    - Foam Cannon
    - Hose - most only come with 20 ft - which is found to be too short - 50 ft recommend so as not to drag the PW around behind you
    - Quick Connects - takes too long to setup and switch out accessories without these
    - Mosaic Gun swap - not required - but highly recommended for auto washing

    I just bought a Sun Joe 3000 + 50 Ft Hose + Generic Foam Cannon + Quick Connects for Gun accessories & Hose - and it ended up costing me a little more than $250 when said and done (and I did not swap the gun - using the SJoe gun for now)

    I use to have AR Blue electrical washer but it was garbage after a few months, the engine will rev without pressing on the trigger, needed to buy an aftermarket adapter to connect the foam cannon in and it still leaked.

    If I remember correctly I had a Honda pressure washer by Simpson Megashot 2800, worked like a charm. As for the foam cannon I use the MTM Hydro foam cannon have it for 4 years and still there.

    I use a Green works 2000psi from Lowes, got it about 2 years ago and still running great. I recently purchased the Dusichin foam cannon and it has been great. Very high quality build for the price.

    Re: What pressure washer n foam cannon do you use?

    I have 2. My main unit is a Simoniz 1700 PSI electric PW. It comes with a 10 foot hose and a solution reservoir that I never use.
    My backup I purchased when it was on sale at half price and it's a sundance 1800 PSI with a 10 foot hose and reservoir too. Only reason I don't use it as my main is that you need to un-hook the pressure hose in order to reel it in. So it's sitting pretty waiting for the other unit to break

    For cannons, I have 2. I purchased the cannon made by Simoniz for their pressure washer line. It's ok but the foam is really runny, it's a bit weird the way that cannon works; you need to put undiluted shampoo in the unit.

    This year I purchased a foam cannon off Amazon for 17$. Tried it tonight for the first time and was really impressed. Used 2 onces of CG Honeydew mixed with 20 onces of water. Insane foam came out! Only thing is you have to be quick, bottle empties in about 2 minutes LOL
