    CG Foam Cannon

    I know there are a few treads on foam cannons, but here is one with a review. So I purchased the G-Foam foam cannon from Home depot a while back, but recently it broke. After much thought and not too many useful reviews I pulled the trigger on the CG Foam Cannon. Skeptical about the cannon, I watched videos looked for reviews and after coming up empty I went for it. So about a week and a half ago I got my cannon and I am very unpleased to say that It falls way short of my expectations. Having used a $20 foam cannon and a $100 one, I don't see any difference. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, but I tried everything I could. Its been used 3 times in the hopes that maybe I could figure it out and nothing, I even used the same soap used in the CG video. With this being said It is no longer wanted (hint hint). I don't know if any of you have used the foam cannon and have been pleased, but for me it falls short. Not dissing CG, but this specific product falls short.

    I believe 3GPM if not more. Its not a little pressure washer by any means. I guess I had this vision of a thick foam, just like in the CG videos. Used the soap like they used in the video, only variable would be the Pressure washer, but thats about it.

    I dont think I got even that kind of foam, it was more runny even when i turned the knob to the thickest foam.
