Amazon Basics Foam Cannon Review - Best Cheap Foam Cannon?

[@drobinson0601]

Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use kzbin.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

[@davidcmatt]

I didn’t even realize I needed a pressure washer until KZbin recommended one of your videos. From watching your reviews, I’ve purchased the Active and now I am trying to pick a foam cannon to upgrade my system. I’ve started pressure washing everything around my home. I think the dogs are worried that they are next. 😀

[@quickkick33]

Just make sure you use the low pressure nozzle 😂

[@bigbrown2690]

I have done the exact same lol, just ordered the Cat version of the Active pressure washer, same exact item just Active was sold out. Will be getting either MTM PF22 foam cannon or the Griots foam cannon to finish it off to start washing my car better!

[@ayo30s]

Hilarious!!! 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸

[@eselmundoa1wao895]

I definitely pressure washing dog...that is for the idea

[@Chrissanthumum]

​@@bigbrown2690I don't have a dog to pressure wash..That could be fun..once.

[@jackalo626]

I've bought many things based on your reviews and continue to watch and learn what is good vs bad based on your thorough work. Piecing my pressure washer system together slowly and don't have a foam cannon yet and this looks up my budget alley. Thanks for the hard work and content Josh!

[@davestewart9146]

I bet the back of your truck is squeaky clean with all the testing lol, I think it would be a great second foam cannon, great video Josh 👍😁

[@kenniswilliams182]

These reviews are a game changer. I'm from St.Kitts so if I were to buy this product it would cost $20 for shipping then I would have to pay customs $32 for duty and tax. Having these reviews takes the guessing out of ordering.

[@davidblalock1709]

You know I really hate extremely helpful channels. They always end up costing me money! 😆 Great review, should have mine today along with the other things you have suggested in your videos.

[@jayholt2101]

Because of your review I got your exact setup today. The pressure washer, gun, foam cannon and orifice. It will be here next week. The only thing I didn’t get was the hose and swivel disconnect. Can’t wait to use it in the spring. Thanks for making my purchase easy and affordable.

[@michaelsullivan8532]

Best review show ever! Thanks for helping us padawans choose wisely

[@imjoshv]

Happy to help!

[@michaelrussell499]

Tried to help out but your 1.1 out of stock.. great videos!!! Right to the point and no fluff!!

[@takedown6470]

I brought the same Cannon about 6 months ago and changed the orifice to your recommendation. Works great with pink car soap from the chemical guys.

[@SA20R]

Just bought one on Amazon for $11.00! Can't wait to try it out.

[@erniearambula3525]

Great review 👍 I came across your channel a week ago on your ryobi 1600 psi and now your Amazon basics foam cannon I gotta tell you I'm sold I found the ryobi for $95 on Amazon and I'll be picking up the foam cannon, I'm now a subscriber to your channel with notifications, thanks for all the valuable info I detail my own vehicle and sometimes a friend's car so I'm not into high end names just economical quality products.

[@mathewmandel]

Love your consistency with testing of cannons and soaps

[@consuelolambert4278]

I never knew this power washer accessory existed. I'm thinking it would be great to wash my home windows and screens, too. Thanks for another great and informative video!

[@ivel38]

I did my front windows yesterday and sprayed them with a ceramic hydro coat.

[@rybread_4940]

Just picked up a husqvarna electric pressure washer, this foam cannon would be perfect for my ride!

[@tinorodriguez89]

I picked this up and works great for the price point. Thanks for all the great pointers!

[@gregoryocello3588]

Great video, I'm returning my new Twinkle Star foam cannon and I'm looking for one that has all the features that you described. Thanks so much for sharing. Gregory Ocello

[@diegosantacruz5676]

I use the same pressure washer for budget reasons and I’m not a fan of the soap injection system so something like this would be awesome 👍🏻

[@jasonwarnick2043]

i've been starting to build my detailing equipment and checking different things and now looking for a decent foam cannonand been watching alot of your videos on products help out so thanks for the detailed reviews.

[@TheLoFi3D]

I need a foam Cannon so this would be a great start. Thanks for your reviews.

[@TJsVette]

I just bought your mjjc pro from you on Sunday, I can't wait to get it. Says it shipped out today. I also got the shorty wand and the pressure washer kit to upgrade all my connections. I'm not doing any cars but my own rn but if I am satisfied I might try to wash some cars on the weekend for extra cash on the side.

[@cobra4246]

thank you for this video I have been thinking about getting a foam cannon and after seeing your video I am getting This one thank you again

[@diegoo3138]

Can you make a video showing how much soap you put in the foam cannon and water i use mr.pink but I can never get a good mixture

[@HepauDK]

14:31 If I turn off the water to my Nilfisk Compact 125.7 (danish brand, 1800 PSI), it will dry-run the compressor, trying to build up pressure. So it neads to be turned off when there is no water going to it. If it just cycles like yours, it just means that it's lost a tiny bit of pressure, and is getting it back to full. The wand that it came with (Nilfisk G2) got an internal failure and leaked, which meant that the compressor could't build enough pressure, and the compressor would stay on, even when the wand wasn't being used. I have since then upgraded to a G4 wand for the proprietary Nilfisk attachments (turbo nozzle, patio cleaner, etc.) and a PWP grip with 1/4" QC and a AutoGlanz Snow Storm foam cannon (looks like it's identical to the MJJC Pro. Rebranded maybe?). The Snow Storm just had it's nozzle swapped for the 1.1mm (included in the package), but I haven't tested it out yet.

[@jasonmiller3925]

I just bought my first pressure washer and I’m watching your vids for advice. Now I’m trying to decide if I NEED a foam cannon or if I just want one because it’s just more fun with my new toy. Thanks!

[@paulbos2462]

Brass on Brass is much better than Brass on plastic. Great video again Josh. Would be a nice back up for my mjjc.

[@davidseiber7824]

Thanks for finding this, I am looking for another foam cannon.

[@davidbaca7853]

Great video as usual. Do you have a how to videos for dash cracks? I couldn’t find one in your previous videos . The wife’s G37 has the notorious dash cracks around the air vents and radio instrument cluster.

[@davidbaca7853]

And sorry, I’m not on Instagram.

[@jamesboland4668]

Thanks for all the great reviews. I have learned alot about pressure washers, and tricks of the trade.

[@andreshandal]

Best bang for one’s buck foam cannon so far! Great review as always!

[@biggstan870]

Hey,Josh! I gotta let you know after watching a few of your vids I'm all set for my recently started car detail service. Thanks for all the essential information that share,Brother.

[@Kmerrihue]

Your videos are great quality. I think your channel will blow up

[@imjoshv]

Thanks so much!!

[@Jay-The-Champ]

Hey Josh, do you have a video on how much soap/water mixture you use in your foam cannon? I find a ton of videos and they are all different. I'd love your take.

[@Ernestosgarage]

I love your videos been watching a lot of your videos. I was really impressed and decided to subscribe. I was going to buy this foam cannon but it's not $18 anymore it's like $35 now. So now I'm looking for a foam cannon that works well for the price. Because of you I bought the riobi 1800 pressure washer. I'm going to buy that hose you sell too. And maybe that nice foam cannon you sell too. Thank you

[@kingpiccolo82]

I appreciate the reviews. They have helped me out a lot as a new DIYer.

[@DSJ714]

Thanks for always leading us to those budget friendly hidden gems! Quality doesn't always = more moolah🤑

[@tomwhite2368]

I bought this cannon and love it,it works great. For $18.00 the price is right too. I like the brass cap on the bottle, it's fairly well built

[@markrhoades2136]

Absolutely love the videos you do and how detailed you are when you describe what you are doing or testing. I own a pressure washing company and using your video to learn car detailing. Thank you for the great work. Would love the amazon basic foam Canon to get me started.

[@daviddolezal1921]

I like the foam cannons that can stand straight up with the nozzles on the flat wide bottom style..

[@wcmauldin81]

Really appreciate all your reviews.

[@jmagallon1111]

Great review 👍 like always. I like how you go into detail with every review it truly helps a lot. I wouldnt mind an upgrade to my foam cannon.

[@tee2008j]

Josh I have learned so much from you thanks for what you do

[@williamspencer76]

Love the price point and brass on brass🤙 can't complain with that thick foam holding on the truck.

[@johnsince1988]

I picked up a similar one on Amazon recently but the bottle and brass fitting were broken. Still got it to work, but this would be a great replacement!

[@buckwheatneil4856]

i like the brass on brass love to have it

[@texican2012]

Seems great. It Would be better if they made a wide mouth as you said and maybe if it had a different screen. I guess sometimes the less expensive Is better. Thx again Josh 👍

[@lukewright9145]

Question- i have a Subaru wilderness- forester- the hood has a decal- what care will that need? Thanks- Love your videos ! Very helpful!

[@ericcarter6421]

Another great video! I'd like to see you make an interior detailing video. Keep up the outstanding work!

[@chicagomike2111]

Great video keep them up.. Looks like a nice foam cannon

[@downsouthsquonks4020]

Looks like it's a good little starter cannon for someone who is diy! Good stuff!

Thanks for all the videos you posted

Love your content, GREAT REVIEWS on many auto detailing products that I consider purchasing!

[@vincentsegura3183]

I was just checking this one out lastnight.. great review!! 👍

[@danielmolina6900]

Great review on this I really do appreciate all your reviews on products. Looks like a solid product with the brass on brass.

[@EminentAutoDetail]

Very appealing! Would be a great addition to any detailer’s arsenal. Maybe a battle of the cheap foam cannons (still in production) between this and the Armor All?

[@ddautodetailing]

Looks like a great option! I like that brass on brass connection.

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

I’ve learned so much from you man keep up the good work

[@emilioolvera8874]

Thank the Lord I bought one of these foam cannons after watching this review 😁😁

[@ChrisC-hb8pg]

Hey Josh. Thanks for the videos, great content. I use you videos to research my product purchases for detailing. Did have a question about the Twinkle Star/Amazon foam gun, and filling the container with soap for washes. I am using Mr Pink soap and was curious as to approximately how much product (1-2 ounces is what is recommended on packing) do you add in the container? Is there a science to using the Mr PInk soap? Do you use warm/hot/cold water, does container need to have any water, do you add water first then soap and mix, etc? I switched out the orifice for the canon but want to be sure I am not missing something when setting up for cleaning. I have the dial turned down for max foam but it still seems to be quite a bit runny. any help or suggestions you could pass along would be appreciated.😅

[@caeruleusaquilalxxviii5403]

Very informative video. Thank you for posting. One question. Wouldn't I need two sets of the quick disconnects, one on to connect the hose to the pressure washer, and another to connect to the gun?

[@jerrymersman6328]

Thanks for all the informational video's. Has helped quite a bit with my washing of mt RV. Any suggestions on getting pine sap off vehicles?

[@deftrance7406]

Looks like it might be the same as the Twinkle Star. Thanks for the review!

[@a1dd3n]

Great video man. Now i gotta try it! And for $20 bucks its a great deal for your buck!!

[@stevemartin3286]

Great review as always. Id love one of these. Amazon Basics items rock.

[@bwdeuce]

Love all of your reviews!!

[@phatlaz1974]

Could you improve the foam by changing the amount of concentrated??

[@joec2637]

As car expert, when using a foam cannon how long and do you recommend allowing the foam to stay on the car when doing a contact wash? Should I let the foam sit for a couple minutes or start the contact wash immediately after spraying the entire car with foam? Thanks for all the great videos and info.

[@etam083]

I let it dwell for about 2 minutes, rinse, foam and contact wash because the 1st foam coating has all the dirt in it. Doesn't make sense to clean with dirty foam

[@joec2637]

@@etam083 Makes sense. Thank you!

[@etam083]

@@joec2637 yup no problem, it's literally what I did today 😂😂

[@miguel90744]

I think it depends on the weather and you can tell when you start washing it just don’t let the soap dry up on you.

[@samsachdev]

Great video. Can you share your opinion on which inlet pipe to use with pressure washer? Do you use the same uber flex pipe to the pressure washer to connect to water tap?

[@TorranceMoreno92]

Wouldn't mind having this. Not bad with the 1.1

[@ratchison79]

Glad to see this one tested, added to my cart a few times but never bought it though 👍

[@Aswaguespack]

You should do a video presentation oh your cool car sitting in your garage behind you. 👍🏻

[@davemuckensturm672]

I am a bit confused about the foam cannon. I have a Harbor Freight pressure washer. What I would like to know is other than just buying the foam cannon, do I also need to purchase a 'stubby gun'????? Or is there a way of using the wand that came with the Harbor Freight pressure washer???? THANKS!

[@JonHowardPhotos]

Thanks for your very practical videos. They’re really helpful.

[@tompfender8732]

Looks like the Twinkle Star version! Except the Amazon Basics has the additional screw. The Twinkle Star was a kit. The foam cannon, the stubby sprayer and 4 spray heads, I think was $30?

[@imjoshv]

Yea, thats a good option also

[@chrismikulski7339]

Will the twinkle star gun connect to a sun Joe pressure washer or to you need an adaptor?

[@upone23]

the link for the foam canon doesn't work. do you have another link that way you can get credit... Thank you for all you do

[@philippeaboussouan2361]

I’ve got the Active ve52 and i’ve got 2 foam canon The amazon cheap one that you have And the Armor all foam canon I tryed both with the 1.1mm orifice and it did not work with my pressure washer 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔🤷🏻‍♂️❓ What could it be 🤔❓ Would buying another foam canon do the trick like the MJJC one or is it due to my watter because obsessed garage uses that pressure washer with a mtm pf22.2 and a 1.1mm orifice and it works great

Where do you get your pressure washer gun from mine is a long one I like the short one

Hey thanks so much for the review it was exactly what I was looking for. I bought a cheap Amazon foam cannon I haven't used yet, Mine had no brass on brass..I quickly set up a return for the one you demonstrated with 2.. 1.1 office I did already have a gallon of Pink with that order so I got that right ...Anyway thanks again for the great information. One more question..? How much soap do I use.?

[@KingKhong811]

2 oz of soap is all you need. Fill in the rest 20:1 with warm water and you’re good to go

I got your pressure washer quick connect pack, but it doesn't fit my Sun Joe pressure washer. What do I need to make this work? Meaning I can't use my gun with the foam cannon. Looks like foam cannon is 1/4 and quick connect is 3/4, I think. Thanks for all you do.
