Excellent pressure washer for the money! For that kind of price you wont find better The bottle is just a detergent lance but you can get a proper foam lance that will fit straight onto it

I have one. I like it. Never tried anything else, though, so nothing to compare to.

Seems the go-to PW for home use, I've had one 18months or so and it's great.
10m hose is a great addition.

Think I'm going to get that.
Can't helpt but be sceptic about the effects of foaming a car. In my logic it really can't shift that much more dirt than just hosing the car down with the PW.
However I sadly think foaming looks just so cool that I just have to try it.

I have the 2.5 version and its superb, plenty powerful enough. I went for the snow foam lance deal on DW. It cost £50 all in including the lance and 5ltr bottle.
Go for the 10m lance hose tho or you'll pulling the machine all over the place. That's going to be my next purchase for mine but the cheapest hose I could find is £50 on its own.

There's a lot to be said for soaking dirt in detergent, kind of the same theory as steeping the dishes in the washing up liquid if they've got dried in shit on them
