I am expecting a shipment of mega hyper wash and I've heard it works great as a foaming soap. I would like to buy a pressure less than $200 to get into the foaming game! Any recommendations on electric pressure washers and foam cannons?
 
if I didn't already have the greenworks 1700psi electric pressure washer, I would get this ($199). it's 2000psi and it looks to be upgraded with better features. the fact there's 300 more psi may work a little better with the foam cannon...

Shop Greenworks 2000-PSI 1.2-GPM Cold Water Electric Pressure Washer at Lowes.com

I bought a Simpson at Costco. I don't know how it stacks up against other brands, but it works fine for me, and I have the comfort in knowing that if it ever stops working, Costco will give me a full credit thanks to their lifetime satisfaction guarantee.
 
I currently use a Greenworks 1500psi. It works well, but I'm giving it to a friend and getting myself a new one. I've read nothing but good things about the Ryobi pressure washers. I picked up two of them this weekend. Now I just have to decide which one to keep. I like the fact that the little one can be stored on a shelf. I can't stand things on my garage floor.

These are $119 and $159.

My father bought one of the Ryobi 1700 psi pressure washers and I used it a couple weekends ago with my foam lance and it worked just fine. I still prefer my 2700 psi gas pressure washer though, but for winter detailing I would use the Ryobi or would even consider that green works one.
 
I recently bought the Greenworks 2000 and for what I use it for am very pleased with it. I totally use it for dean my vehicles with my foam boom fro Chemical Guys. Vehicles are detailed weekly, so there is not much grim or dirt most of the time and they are garage kept.
Hope this helps.

Most likely made by the same manufacture.

Liking the ryobi got my Meg's Hyperwash in today so now all I need to do is decide on a pressure washer and foam gun!
 
I tried both of the Ryobi machines I posted earlier. Both worked well, but I chose to keep the bigger one. I didn't really notice a difference in the extra 100psi, but the bigger one was actually a little more quiet. Overall, it just felt better.
 
Does anybody know which pressure washer fittings to choose for greenworks or ryobi for the foam cannon hp?
 
I have a Homelite 2700psi w/ Honda engine. Works great. Just brought it out for the first time this spring and it started up just fine after our crappy NE Ohio winter.

I had the Ryobi 1700 electric but took it back. Wasnt that great IMO but I also accredit that to poor water pressure too.

Both the Greenworks and the Ryobi machines already have the quick connect coupler (female) at the end of the wand. The foam cannon usually comes with the 1/4" NPT male connector. You just screw that into the cannon and it will quick-connect to the wand, just like a spray tip does.

Agree with CaveRacing, my foam gun from Chemical Guys came with coupler.

i have the Greenworks 1700psi pressure washer, it works great with my MTM foam lance. it does lack pressure over the gas units, but it's quiet.

i got mine at Lowes on sale for $169
 
Mine is the 2000 PSI and has plenty of pressure.

I keep reading about pressure washers not lasting very long. I wonder what the weekend warriors and the pros are using. My neighbor picked up an X series Karcher which has good reviews and right before the year mark the motor broke. luckily it was warrantied.
