Karcher foam cannon vs Crazy Detailer?

Post by JasonCPT »

Which should I get? Is the Karcher one good enough or should I spend the extra R150 and get a crazy detailer one? And which snow foam to use from CD?

I'd get the CD one, karcher doesn't foam as well(or it takes much more effort and product to get the same result)

Senna is selling a foam cannon, check the FS section, from what I can see it's the same as the CD one.

I cannot comment on the product since I only use Auto Finesse avalanche, hope this helpw.

I have both at home. And I always thought I dunno what the hype was about, but the CD one is A LOT better than the karcher one.

My karcher one leaks slightly as well. But still works. If you want you can always buy mine second hand if you don't want to spend as much on the CD one

I might as well save myself the trouble and just get the CD one then, its only R150 more. Pity no ones having BF specials on any decent Karchers.

I ordered one of these a few weeks back and waiting for it to arrive in the country.
From user reviews and imagery, it looks like a decent product with a product rating of 4.9/5.

Free shipping. I have not paid customs fees on any of my Aliexpress orders this year.

I ended up buying the CD one with a few other bits. A few issues but apparently CD are going to sort it out.
