    Hello,I have a Workchoice 1,500 PSI Electric Pressure Washer #BY02-VBP-S,I know it's a cheap power washer..lol My dad bought it one day at walmart,It works great,I just bought a foam cannon and wanted to use it but i don't think this is going to work with this power washer,I was wondering what i could buy to make it work with it or can you give me some advice on what washer i could buy to work with the foam cannon,Nothing expensive but will get the job done..Thank you very much!!

    Did you buy a foam cannon for a garden hose? Pics of what you have and the connectors would help

    I got the ryobi 2200 I think? Plus chemical guys torque foam cannon. It works wonders.

    I just looked up your pressure washer and it has its own type of fitting designed for their wand. It's crimped on so I don't think it will work? Here's what your fitting looks like from what I found at walmart.

    Not sure how your other end of the hose looks but might be possible to just get another hose??? Just take the hose and foam cannon to lowes, home depot and see what your options are...just a thought.

    I have a greenworks 2000psi electric unit from Lowes, swapped out gun to a MTM SG28 for easier use with my foam canon. I found all the necessary adaptors/quick connects in the same aisle at my local lowes.

    The wand may have the plastic coupler similar to like Karcher has. My electric Karcher has its own soap cannon that you swap out on the end of the wand. My gas washer uses an entirely different coupler. I also bought a short trigger for the gasser so I’m not having to deal with 3 more feet of stainless tube. I’m not up on the type of coupler names, but eBay and other stores do sell both types. I use the electric one most of the time so I don’t have to drag out the entire kitchen sink in order to wash the fleet down.

    How long have you had that machine? What PSI?

    I spent $80 on the CG foam cannon and my godammned pressure washer broke before I got to use it!
    I need a new washer and the compactness of that machine seems perfect for just a detailing washer.

    I'm going to guess that the 2200 part of the name "Ryobi 2200" refers to the PSI. It looks like the sticker on the side says 2000 though...?

    I just stick my foam cannon where the nozzle normally goes. Works exactly the same.

    Thats a nice setup you have there with the cart. I keep all my stuff in my tool locker, but your situation is more handy.

    I don’t have a garage yet, so unfortunately I have to put this stuff inside when I’m done. That’s why I went with the cart!
