Looking at electric powered pressure washers. Like to use it for wheels and wheel wells. 1,600-2,000 psi. I feel that's a good amount of pressure not looking for something to powerful. Any suggestions
 
For car washing 1600psi or more. It's all in the tip that you use. I use the white 40 degree tip.

Okay thanks going check some out today. Thanks for the advice.
 
I like my AR Blue 390ss. Good service after the sale. Check out their website.
 
AR Blue 390SS - top rated on pressurewashersdirect (and own one myself).
 
I have the tiny Green works 1600 and I also use the white tip most.
 
I've been bouncing between a Ryobi 1600 PSI electric power washer and a Sunjoe SPX 3000 1700 PSI electric washer.

Both work well, and use the white, 40 degree spray tip, but obviously the SPX works better with my foam cannon(higher GPM=more foam)
 
For a little over a hundred.

I like this thing but haven't used a foam cannon yet. And probably won't either.
You do have to bleed the air out of the water supply for a couple of minutes.
I clamp the trigger and take the nozzle out while I am setting up. I let my house burp for about 10 minutes.

It comes with a 15 degree that I use. Blasts most everything off the Gloss Coat (wheels and car coated)

I've been using the Greenworks 2000. Liking it so far.
 
That's the exact one I use as well Spazzz. No complaints so far and although I use a foam cannon with it, it does a good job covering the car. Also love the fact that its small and I can carry it as I please while washing the car. I actually prefer it over the Sunjoe
 
I got a good deal on a Karcher Follow Me PW.

I've had it for about 6 months now. So far so good. 1800 psi & 1.3 gpm.

I use it for mobile washes, nice and compact and doesn't tip over.

I purchased an extra hose attachment for longer hose length.

 
Do you use a foam cannon with the marcher follow me? I've been thinking if getting the same one but not sure if the cannon will work great with it. What PSI do you run at for general rinsing ?

The cannon works good with the PW. I get good foam with it.

Use a good foamy soap and play with the dilutions to your liking and make sure you get a cannon that will work with electric pressure washers with a lower PSI. There is a different one for gas pressure washers with higher PSI.

I use it full strength so I assume it's around 1800 psi.

Make sure you get the connection that fits the Karcher.

This seems like a better engine than a similarly equipped Karcher. I like this one better than the Karcher I had.
 
Had read thru a variety of posts/suggestions last summer when considering a PW/Foam Lance. The below seemed like a good setup. The DUS-220 seemd like a nice add-on when ya don't wanna be swinging a big long gun around all the time. All-in for a touch under $200.

Still pondering it, never pulled the trigger but winter coming up in NE Ohio, maybe easier than going to spray booth...dunno yet. If i did it probably add on another $75 for a good, solid, wall-mount pressure washer hose reel so could leave pressur washer itself hanging on garage wall and just unreall hose as needed. Foam lance/cannon is cool and all but being a relatively lazy person, if it was a pain to get everything out every time I'd likely not use it often; would have to make it as easy as possible to use. Know thyself and all.
