On sale @ HD. Anyone know if the nozzles are compatible with the popular foam cannons?

I can't help you on the nozzles, but it looks pretty nice, I like the non-tipping cart design. It's a little light on the "cleaning units" if you use the formula from the pressure washer site.

if i didn't already have the electric pressure washer i do, i would buy this or the black max version which is essentially the same. i believe it uses a standard quick disconnect (attached to the foam cannon) which you can buy at lowes/hd...

Noted. I don't have a need this far for heavy duty cleaning, just improving vehicle wash efficiency.

Thanks much. Standard quick disconnect makes replacement parts easy should issues arise.

go to sams club and get the blackmax which is the same thing (re-branded) and cost $20-$30 cheaper. note the end of the wand (quick disconnect), just pull back and attach the foam cannon with the proper quick disconnect...

you can buy this attachment at lowes, that's where i got mine. i'm pretty sure this is the exact same size but you can always bring your foam cannon and make sure it screws in before buying it. btw, that pressure washer has a 2 year warranty IIRC when i saw it on the box. if you read the reviews on both the ryobi and blackmax they are mostly postive. as i mentioned, if i didn't have the one that i have, i would buy one of these in a heartbeat. i've been eyeing it for quite some time now...

Shop Blue Hawk Blue Hawk 3/8-in Quick-Disconnect Plug at Lowes.com (http://www.lowes.com/pd_189524-60455-SGY-PWA22_0__?productId=3086699&Ntt=pressure+washer+quick+disconnect&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dpressure%2Bwasher%2Bquick%2Bdi sconnect&facetInfo=)

I bought one last week at Sam's, the price was 129.00. I can't comment on durability yet but so far it is a great unit for the 1700psi electric crowd.

If you use your Home Depot CC for any purchase there, they automatically give you 5% off...no need to ask. Lowe's does the same thing. Lowe's started doing it first, and HD promptly followed.

Thanks for the feedback. What foam cannon do you use?
