I don't know what pressure settings they work at, but from the looks of it the foam gun will work well with pretty much any of them. The question I would ask is which one lasts the longest. The only consumer grade cheap pressure washer with the cast pump that never broke on me was the Italian made Karcher. Pretty sure they aren't made in Italy anymore, but the only way we ever stopped using ours was when it was stolen.
The husky one from Home Depot only worked like 7 or 8 times, but man did it spray good. The campbell hausfield sprays low volume. Most of them are disappointing.

Karcher is often the one with the most referrals when discussing electric. I have one from Home Depot that I got for 100.00 on sale and 19.00 for extended warranty. Not an issue to date.

yeah, my bad, but I knew what you meant. I ended up getting a foam gun with the quick disconnect to a hose because I decided against taking the time to drag out a pressure washer, fight with the cord, and then have to disconnect the water hose to complete the wash. Seemed like the foam gun was going to be a better use of time. I suppose if you use the spray washer for the rinse as well...

The foam cannon in my collection is used occasionally at best. I do use the Foam Gun from Gilmour weekly. I got rid of the trigger portion and use a quick connect and a Dramm 100 with shutoff valve to control.

There was a recent review on this in Handyman magazine where they compared the best electric and gas pressure washers. The best rated electric was a Ryobi model.
