rwisejr Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I couldn't justify the price of that thing no matter how many cars I washed a day! LOL !! Well it fit my needs as I can't use a gas unit way to noisy at 7 am and it had to compact and durable. This thing is built like a tank and will last for ever. Yhose cheap 100-200 units just arent made to last that long and I have no time for taking back and exchanging units. It has paid for it self already.

tjcin Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 That's right, I cleared the driveway with my foam blower so I could foam the salt off the wife's car. Thank God we are done with that kind of foam this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaEmt1991 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I have an electric washer and I love it. 1700 psi os more than enough to get my car nice and clean. And I love the foaming deal it has. Makes give the car a quick bath extremely easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris@Adams Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hey Jason, not for nothing, but a while back I bought that inexpensive Gilmour foam gun. It works great. It's npt adjustable like the one on backorder, but it does a super job. I did take some pictures the first time I used it, I'll try and attach one. This was on 2/21 and notice the hat.

I can't remember the name. However after 3 years of use, mainly to wash a deck and fencing, it kept breaking. I'm not totally convinced that I'd buy another electric pressure washer.

SaleenJOE Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have had a karcher 1800 psi PW for a few years now and never had a problem out of it. i use it as a back up or to take with my when i dont want to load my troy built PW up. Dont worry about it being electric it will work fine. Walmart has the 1800 psi karcher for 160.00 and there foamer is about 20 bucks. look on youtube under karcher foamer and check out the vids,seems to work pretty good.

11chevz71 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The only thing i have doubts about is it being electric i have never used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP 08 GXP Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 i realize it isnt like the gilmour exactly but as long as it throws some suds on there i will be happy with it since the gilmour i want is still on backorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VertimgoC502 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 It will not do the job you think it can, especially it being electric. Plus the gilmore is a foamer and not a pressure washer cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
