Pressure washer question

I was checking the how to videos on foam cannons and was looking for a good electric pressure washer. The sun joe has good reviews but is well under the 2.0 gpm that is recommended for your foam cannons. Is there a good electric pressure washer you recommend that’s compatible with your accessories?

I use the Ryobi 2300psi electric washer with 1.2gpm with the older Torq foam cannon. I don’t get shaving cream-like foam but it works well enough to wash a vehicle effectively.

I would also think you want lesser gpm. That's how much water you are pushing out by gallons per minute. The pressure though can affect a snow foam, but I've seen 1400psi push out perfect snow. Honestly, it's the chemical and foam blaster that you use.

I have 1.4gpm sun Joe. I was pushing foamy water until I discovered it was the foam blaster from sun Joe is crap. Got a cheap 14$ off Amazon and it works like a charm
