Buying a pressure washer & foam lance - Whats best?

[Ste]

I want a decent pressure washer that heats up the water & a decent foam lance.

Not too bothered about any other attachments or a mega high pressure one, i dont want the pressure high at all.

No idea on a budget really so both ends of the market would be nice. If anyones got there own and like it post it up :y:

Can you get ones that heat up the water? Never seen these.

[Ste]

Usually the petrol ones do.

[RedB]

With these do you have to have a hose or can you fill up Pressure washers and attach say a foam lance on from there?

Heated ones are more expensive but are usually variable so you can pick the temp and pressure :y:

Also come in electric Ste but you just have to decide a budget and what you want to spend
so you might want to cut back and save with a smaller, less powerful one or do things properly and get the whole shiban

[Chuffy]

Usually the petrol ones do.

Ah. Learn something new every day

If you don't need the high pressure then the Gilmour foam gun that attaches to your garden hose could do the trick. If you're just looking for something to spray foam to act as a pre-wash to losen up the dirt on your car in the winter months, then go for the Gilmour.
Obviously with a pressure washer you get the added power to help blast the inside of the arches.

TBH i got a cheap Devil pressure washer, came with a foam lance probably set me back about £30 from Argos. Friad it wasnt heated though

I've seen valeting places using steam cleaners but they looked pretty hefty things so probably costly industrial style petrol machines

how loaded are you? lol
