I have a foam lance and I love it. I think you need to ask this question.
Am I buying this just for the foam lance or am I going to have more uses for the pressure washer?
Reason I state this if you break down the cost it is roughly like this
Gilmore $50
Foam Lance with Pressure Washer $150-$200 depending on the pressure washer.
Next thing to consider is the soap, if you do not use good soap in the lance it is a big waste of money as is the gilmore. You want a good slick, long lasting sud soap.
Adams soap isn't that great in the lance but works great in a gilmore. I would suggest the following three soaps for not only the suds they produce, but the slickness and the longevity. Each of these will still have suds clinging to the ride at least five minutes after you spray the car.
CG Gloss and Wash
CG Maxi Suds II
Mequires Hyper Wash
Lastly do not use the Karcher Foam gun as it is a piece of garbage.
