Default Possible Inexpensive Foamgun for do-it-yourselfers...

This might be a good inexpensive option for those of you looking to go with a foam gun type setup. I haven't used it, but for $15.00 I might give it a try, worse case scenario it will water my yard.

i'll make a video of how horrible it is. If you want real foam, it's not going to come from a regular hose from the house. You need a pressure washer. They have one that hooks up to a regular hose for 50 bucks and it work OK but still not good in anyway.

I am personally going with a Gilmour Foammaster, but thought this thing might be worth a try for less hardcore washers. I am a sucker for gimmicks and again, figured it would end up as a garden hose that I can pretend to shot my plants with.

It doesn't have the air nozzle of the Gilmour and wouldn't provide the foaming action, but it might be a good prescrub rinse prior to really applying the microfiber mit and suds to the paint.
