    Quality may not be snapon but who knows I have not had this very long. I would so far reccomend it as it seems it is going to last quite a while! Gun is solid metal, unit seems very well put together with brass.metal connectors. Overall a great pw so far with great power! Also the fact costco carries it I don't have to worry about it breaking and not getting a new one. I would recommend anyone whos looking for an electric PW for a good price to snag this! I chose it over the karcher.

    I have / had the same pressure washer, I return it because it didn't have enough pressure coming out of it to produce good foam with my foam cannon that I bought from


    Foam Cannon With Tank


    Not sure if I was doing something wrong but I just felt it did not have enough power/pressure. If you do get the foam cannon you can order the quick connect from them.

    Thanks a lot for the feedback, what connector are you talking about could you post a link? Also would the connector work with any foam gun? Not just the one you specified

    that connector looks very similar to the Karcher HD series connector with 1/4" female pipe thread inlet.

    Rated to 200 bar.

    Be sure to update what works or not. This snap-on looks very nice in construction. Every other electric pw is made of plastic and has crappy feeling handles and just felt very cheap even though it costs almost $200. I don't understand why they don't have more solid electric pw with metal connectors and metal stuff..haha. My karcher is 1750psi also, but uses plastic connectors and sometimes I wonder if it's just going to blow up in my hand.

    The rinse lance, or wand as you're calling it, is an M22 (metric 22mm) thread, the same as used on most professional units, except Karcher (who have to be different!).
    Autogeek sell them, as do some other outlets.
    If you do a search, there's been links and mentions of who does the foam lance for the best price, etc in a recent thread - shouldn't be too hard to find it.

    I bought the snap on Pressure washer from Costco several months ago. It worked OK. Started to get en electrical shock from the wand where the 2 pieces join. I at first thought it was a twitch but then I felt a real electrical shock. :gasp:Returned it and just got a Rigid 3000psi. 2.6gpm with the upgraded CAT pump Gas pressure washer from Home Depot fro $599 and used it for the first time with CR spotless DIC 20 in line with the washer. This washer is heavy duty and the CR spotless is great for no water spots. No question the cost is a big difference but I am happy to upgrade to the big boy of a washer. Wanted to get a foam cannon now and dont know exaactly which one to get.
