IIRC, the karcher foamer turned out to be a lesser performer compared to the cam spray foamer that Phil sells and the cannon that shadybreal sells.

If you do a search on "foam cannon" you should find a lot of info. shadybreal sells a full package that allows you to use his equipment with a karcher.

Save your money and get the foam cannon. I was less than impressed with it.

Well, the foam cannon from shadybreal isn't cheap, nor is the one from Phil @ DD.

I have the Foamaster II from Phil @ DD already but it's not doing what I want and I see that he has Cam Spray Foamer Attachment but not the foam cannon. Not sure if that would work with my Karcher...

Pricing is actually not too bad considering I just spend $2700 on detail products yesterday and a recent purchase of the Makita as well as the Karcher...

It really just saves me the time for trial and error... besides the unit, time is money.

If you want a setup that will work with a Karcher Electric, PM shadybreal. I have a Karcher with a gas powered honda motor and I love my foam cannon from shady. Deep Gloss loves his too.

Geez, $2.7k on detail products? What did you buy!?!? LoL, to keep on topic, if I were to invest in a pressure washer, I'd definitely invest in the Cam Spray that Phil @ DD has. FWIW, I think I would enjoy the less noisy option and avail the gas prices but that's just me.
