It was only $14, so I figured I`ll give it a try - any experiences out there? I know the container is small, my back-up is the foam cannon from AG.

I`d grab the foamer from home depot for about the same price, it works great if you are into lots of foam. I forget what its called now....

i think i saw that somewhere and passed on it because of the incompatible attachment - the Karcher is a bayonet style. it` can be a PITA to see what attaches to what

Got it free with my Karcher, its OK but I found that when foaming my RAM truck, I need to refill it twice. No adjustments on the thing, so you have to experiment with the mixture. Make sure to use it with a foaming shampoo, or otherwise you are just wasting product. I tried it with CG Citrus W&G, Megs NXT and Megs Gold Class, and it was mediocre at best, and that`s when I filled the whole container with shampoo, no mixing. By the time I got myself a foaming shampoo, I already got a Karcher HD pro foam lance.

Honestly, if you already have an AG foam cannon I would stick to that, there is no comparison in the quality of thick clinging foam.



If you don’t have a HP Foam Cannon, then the Karcher attachment will work in a pinch.

i was going to order the AG foam cannon as my back-up, trying to understand why it cost $120 for the thing. anyways after the heads-up on the HD foamer I stopped by there and got it for $9.97 and a wand attachment for $15, can wait to give it a try!

Looks like the price changed again, it`s was $19.97 instore, then $9.97 online, but store matched it and now $17.97 :yuck:

Yea, I`ve heard that thing is legit for the money for sure. I`ve got a crappy little "foamer" that came with my AR Blue Clean 118, but its junk. It actually takes the place of the pressurizer wand thing, so there isn`t real "pressure washer" pressure behind it to make the really cool clingy stuff, just sort of works like a Gilmour but not as well. I love the AR, but I really wish I bought a Karcher now. I really feel like for a cheap pressure washer the AR is built way better, but their bayonets are proprietary and you can`t get anything to hook on to them unlike a karcher.
