- Looking for a good cheap foam cannon? Harbor Freight just added a new one to their line of products and I decided to pick it up to test it out. There are tons of foam cannons available on Amazon that look exactly like this one, but they don't all perform the same (although most do ha). With some minor tweaks and some good foaming soap, this Harbor Freight Foam Cannon is a good performer! Enjoy...

Just wanted to point out these HF foam cannons now come with BOTH the 1.2mm orifice AND a 1.1mm orifice.
How did you find that out ? Doesn’t say online
@@Meep469 I found out by opening the package at home after I bought it. 😃
Didn't notice at the time but the package also says there are two orifices included.
Got one of these today during a %15 off sale. They have them at $34.99 now, and the box expresses including a 1.2mm orifice for gas, and 1.1mm for electric. I get the sense they may have made arrangements after your video.
Always excited to see the noti that Josh has posted. Always good stuff, I purchased the MJJC with DTLR and won’t be needing anything different for awhile but it’s nice to see there are good options out there
Great review as always, had bought the MJJC last year based on your reviews but was looking for something budget friendly for a setup for a family member. HF unit peaked my interest but just bought the Armour-All based on your opinion. Much appreciated, looking forward to your soap and keep up the awesome videos!!
I got the MJJC foam cannon from you last week. It’s FANTASTIC! Thanks for all of the info you pass on to us all.
It's not the mjjc
Buying my first foam cannon soon. Thanks so much for all the great reviews!
I gotta say I’m pretty impressed for that price point like you mentioned, aside from that ….I’m feeling like All of us subscribers are feeling pretty pumped for your new “green soap” yessir lol
Depends on how much it is 😂. If it can beat mr pink then I'm in.
Looks like a pretty good unit! Your soap looks great too!
Thanks! Looking forward to purchasing your foam wash soap
Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well czcams.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.
I was looking at this exact same gun with questions . Thank you for answering them .
I bought one last week and it works great!
No need for a pressure washer.
Plenty of foam. Actually it made so much foam the gutter foamed up so bad I had to rinse it all down because it was embarrassing.
I’m not gonna lie, I loved this foam cannon! Was the first one I bought.., now have like 7… but this thing is definitely nicer than some of the more premium options….It’s no MJJC.. but I couldn’t tell you how many times I dropped this thing and it kept going, I finally broke it, took it back to HF, and they exchanged it no questions asked.. now I keep it as a backup.
Just picked one up and added a 1.1mm orifice. It’s my first foam cannon (been and bucket and mit guy for a long time) definitely going to upgrade to the MJJC at some point be this will work for my weekend warrior style. Good review.
I'm very impressed with this foam Cannon. Not too shabby for a personal home use. Like some of the subscribers... I'm waiting to get ahold of some of that green magic. Or whatever color you going to make it.
My man Josh bro i wait this videos like a little kid. hahaha . thanks bro for all your hard work.
Great video, thanks for all the content!
Which budget friendly 1.1 orifice do you recommend?
i just brought this foam cannon lastnight and now this morning got and emailt from DTLR restock of your foam cannon hahaha
Thanks for reviewing, I purchased this a week ago and switched out the orifice to the 1.1 much better. Did you do any tutorials on detailing over applied stripes?
Just bought one today and holy hell is it good for the price point. Upgrading the orfice tomorrow!
Thanks for the video!
Nice pickup that thing is a beast and if its a toyota you know its well built
Nice sequoia, I had an 05 350k miles, now driving a platinum 10 with 205k, runs like a champ. Rap job is sweet. Enjoy your content
Hi Josh. Really like your videos. Is your new foam shampoo going to be safe for matte finish paint?
Nice option, looking forward to your soap, thanks Josh 👍😁
I still highly enjoy all these other foam cannon reviews even though I know they won’t compare to the MJJC I got from your site.
I have this cannon from Harbor freight and still has the 1.25 orifice and amazed. Have the 1.1 and the quick connect set one the way. I’m thinking 25-30 foot long hose from the current 20 foot
Great review thank you always. When you say you keep the flow control cranked all the way down do you mean all the way down to the - (minus) ? Thank you.
love the sequoia! i have its baby brother, the 4runner. can't believe how quickly you turned this video review around!
I picked one of these up because I have a local Harbor Freight and wanted to try out my Craftsman PW right away. Used it with Meguires Gold class. Pretty good results. Then got the 1.1 orifice and Mr. pink. Nice! Not an MJJC, but for home use its great.
Where did you get 1.1 orifice
Would be nice to know
so josh you can turn the fan direction on the foam cannon. if you turn right or left you will see the fan open in close but if you keep turning they change from vertical to horizontal
I bought this last year and it never seemed to work right for me, now I know why. Thanks for sharing this video and showing me how to properly use this foam cannon and the tips on the upgrades for it.
Ive watched every vid of you, what electric washer do you like the best.
When you sell your soap ill be first customer man 👌
Great video. Have you ever done a video on ceramic detail sprays ? I know you like Technicians Choice. How does it compare to Adam’s Polishes ceramic detail spray for example. And what is the best technique for using ceramic detail spays.
Take my money! Green soap for the win. It has to be able to compete with Adams!!
Great content on your videos, I have questions about the 1.1mm orifice, any availability for questions?
I'd like to see a review of the Sooprinse cannon for another budget option. Saw another review on here that liked it, wanna hear what you think!
Love this video
When you releasing your own soap, and red color should lool cool!
I used a cheap one on Amazon that I hoped worked well, switched out the orifice, and could not get any decent foam at all with Chemical Guys honeydew soap. Returning it asap and hoping this Harbor Freight one will do the job!
Great video. I actually came here looking for the best cheap pressure washer to use with a foam cannon. Any recommendations?
Congrats on developing your own Soap Formula, when is it dropping or has it?
Thanks for all the Videos, 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Where do you get the orifice that you changed out? Thanks good info on the foaming cannon.
Very cool josh I’d like to see your own soap in the mjjc cannon probably be like shaving cream lol 😆
Do it
You definitely need to check out the Sooprinse Foam Cannon. Best bottle. Has a filter on the super flexible hose. The fat tipped nozzle is fully adjustable to any angle. It for sure rivals the 100+ but costs a fraction of that price. This is the foam canon of foam canons. Plastic lid on plastic bottle by the way. It oozes of quality in your hands. Plus it looks super cool!
I was already leaning towards the harbor freight pressure washer and foam cannon for the price. Checmical guys are out their minds with their pricing on the Torso
Great video and extremely halpful! I must have a bit of a defective unit because the connection to unscrew and exchange the 1.2 to 1.1 is fused on (almost like it has locktite). I probably just need to swap it for another one.
Yea ima need some of your soap
Sequoya looks good!
Well josh i have a question for you just like everyone else. I thought i had my mind finally made up with the Cat/active pressure washer but since im not a detailer i thought maybe i ought to pick one of your chosen less expensive units so by the time i add all your other recommendations i wouldnt be at 500+ so i bought both the greenworks 1700 and the harbor freight one and thought id have you help me decide which one to keep......any opinion on that would help me immensly. You do an awesome job and are very detailed and particular as am i so i have much respect for you and your opunions. Thank you so much in advance.
I bought a Harbor Freight foam canon 2 weeks ago, and the quick connect nipple was not long enough for the quick connect to snap onto.
Would you be doing an update on the adams colored foam idk if it’s new or not but I seen they had orange green and purple on their website now and not in the unicorn foam line would like to know your thoughts on it
Your soap sticks good
Dam I'm going back to harbor freight tommorow for this my store near me has in stock. I have the armor all foam cannon as well
Sadly, I bought the Armor All after you reviewed it and they had changed their style to a 2-in-1 with a non-adjustable filter in the end. I'll be taking it back and buying one of these or another that you've reviewed. In time, I'll get to invest in one of the nicer ones.
Great video idea to let us see what Harbor Freight offers.
I'm going to get this as a backup cannon. I just add a half ounce of superclean to my soap to add a better cleaning capability to break down grime, then I rinse off and refoam with pure soap. can you do a review of Turtle wax Slick n slide n tell us what you think. it's my new favorite lubricious ph neutral soap
I looked through your foam cannon videos and wondering if you'd tested the Astro AI wide neck plastic foam cannon from Amazon yet ? Looks decent just not sure if id like to dump $75+ into a foam cannon
Hopefully with your soap it smells really good and just for fun you should make it turn to a color green blue whatever just like Adams. I know it doesn’t do anything special but my kids would get a kick out of it. Seeing our car turn purple or something lol
As a side note to this (and other reviews you do) the wand nozzle ratings of 3.0 and 3.5 are equivalent to 1.09 mm and 1.22 mm orifice openings (both a tad smaller than comparable used in foam cannons). At the preferred ~1100 psi spray a 3.0 orifice should be discharging ~1.55 gpm and the 3.5 orifice should be discharging ~1.9 gpm. a great indicator for why the 1.25 mm orifice installed in most foam cannons struggles with electric washers since few, if any, can do 1.9 gpm at 1100 psi.
I use a 1.1mm in mine and it makes a big difference in the thickness and quality of foam, and that’s with 2000psi 1.4 gpm machine
Looks a lot like my original MTM Hydro foam cannon.
edit\
Actually its almost identical when you took it apart. You know what they say, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
The relief valve keeps your pressure washer from over working/ over amperage.
Can you please test the ryobi 2300 with the 5 in 1 nozzle and report back what psi it is getting?
I need to catch that cannon out
do they attach easily to any pressure washer or you need adaptors?
this one has everything im looking for including the price and wide mouth. foam is great after replacing orifice. i also use mr pink and would be filling to trade it for what you come up with granted it's a good price
Gallon jug for 49.99 plus shipping and handling
Can you use liquid wax with a foam canon? I'm trying to eliminate going to the car wash but also I'm not too keen on hand polishing so I gravitate towards the liquid solution.
The Simoniz 1800 PSI 2.0 GPM Corded Cold Water
Brushed Electric Pressure Washer w/ Foam Blaster from Canadian tire has the exact casing as the active so I believe it’s the exact products
That’s correct! Active makes the simoniz unit
How do you know what size orifice you have by looking at it? Is there a marking somewhere that gives the size? Also, can you please review foam cannons like Tool Daily? Thank you very much. Again, your favorite soap seems to be Mr Pinks and Adam's? Thanks.
I picked this one up at HF 2 weeks ago. As Josh said, it’s a good unit for $25! Used it out of the box with my CAT (Active) pressure washer and made good foam. I’m waiting on the MJJC (mid May!🤨) and just got the 1.1 orifice nozzle delivered to swap out and try this weekend! I think this will make a solid stand in.
With the CAT/VE52 pressure washers, it is recommended to use a 1.25mm orifice with foam cannons, as anything lower could cause the motor to surge or draw more amps than it is rated for. I use the MJJC with 1.25 orifice and Adams mega foam with my Active and the results are great. You might be able to run 1.1 fine short term, but it may lead to a lower life expectancy of the unit over the long term.
So this weekend has passed, how did it work out Doug?
@@coreybell6398 didn’t get to it! 🐰
@@dougberscak1043 Easter weekend. No worries. I’ll be getting one of IMJOSHVs this week. I’ll post about it after use, and by use I mean 370ppm tds tap water and D.I. water, a couple of soaps too
@@coreybell6398Got the MJJC left the 1.25 orifice in the Foam Cannon (reached out to Active for reco) using Mr. Pink and it foamed amaz! So we’ll…the HF foam cannon is going back.
I didn't see a link to the 1.1 orfice. Is there one you'd recommend?
Any tips for getting more foam out of a Ryobi 2700 psi, 1.1 gpm electric power washer?
Sign me Up for your soap.. Looks great 👍
Would you kindly compare the HF, Amazon, and Armour-All foam cannons? Preference?
So hows that foaming soap coming along???? I would like to order that and try it out in my MJJC I got from your store.
If you can't get it apart how are you planning on changing the mesh screen?
Do you have to use a special foaming wash or will any liquid soap work?
What is recommanded water and solution ration for Meguires wash & wax? Thanks
For some reason the one I purchased sprays a single jet out of the nozzle no matter how I adjust the fan pattern, do I need to swap out the orifice or is it defective?
I'm thinking about buying a foam cannon but what are the best soaps for it
Do these foam cannons come with different orifices or do you buy those separately. If so, where? Thanks
I have seen a steamer at my local harbor freight for 119 I believe but it looks like it would be a decent starter steamer
Was on sale for 89 a few days ago, debating on giving it a try.
What will u use for? Engine carpet?
How does this compare to the sooprinse and so on units that you’ve liked as well? The HF is now $33 and not sure if it’s worth that much now.
love the toyota^^
Where can I buy the different sized orifices?
So, does it come with 2 different sized orifices? If not, where do i get the one that isnt included?
Will a Foam Canon work without a pressure washer? Just straight hose pressure?
What does changing the filter do?
I just bought a powerhorse pressure washer 3200 and idk how to add the foam or like make it foam idk like what do I buy setup wise
But where do you get the orifices from?
So i got the Harbor Freight foam cannon, however i can not for the life of me get the quick disconnect off to access the orifice. Never used it yet, any other tips? Can i spray something like WD-40 or PB Blaster? I haven't put it in a vice yet for more leverage but I CAN NOT get this thing off!!!
You tested the armor all foam Cannon @ 2100 psi & this one at 1800. Do you still prefer the armor all at 1800 psi? Have you tried it WITH the office swap @ 1800?
Were does he get the 1.1 orfis?
Where do you get the 1.1 oriface?
You can use a hair dryer, or heat gun for loc tite to loosen it.
Just wondering did you get the Harbor freight foam canon open to check the filter? I didnt try mine yet, just wondering if its possible
I bought the Amazon basics with the new sticky foam from CG and I am not happy at all. It works better with the 1.25 installed, so maybe it's my mixture? I'm using it with a Sunjoe SPX3000 so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Thanks.
I have a 3k psi subaru power stroke power washer. I was looking at this foam cannon cause of price and its just on my truck.
My ryobi 1800 came with a “foam cannon. “ sucks. The hose too. The gun. Wands. Replaced all that.
But the foam cannon was the best upgrade. So much foam. Just gotta buy a new wash soap.
What camera do you use?
