Kärcher FJ6 Foam Cannon Spray Nozzle For K1-K5

I have had this for about a year and a half now and held off reviewing it until I felt I gave it a fair shake. This pressure washer is an incredible little machine that makes cleaning somewhat enjoyable. (I mean, it is cleaning after all!) It has enough power to do most homeowner tasks with ease and what it can’t do with the regular wand, it will definitely do with the included turbo wand.

I regularly use mine to wash my cars and keep my driveway cleaner. It blasts away the toughest dirt and grime and leaves a beautiful, clean surface ready for anything you want to dress it with or leave as is. It even works great for blasting the algae off the siding on the house like it does with my home.

This washer will come with everything you need to get up and running in short time short of a garden hose. It includes the hose quick connect system, which is awesome unless your spouse can’t figure it out. (Like mine!) The GFCI plug in is a definite need on these because electricity and water are not a good combo, and it works really quickly to kill power if things get too wet there. (Don’t ask me how I know!)

I have never experienced any issues with leakage or the like from any Kärcher pressure washer. This is my third electric Kärcher electric and they just work. (The first two may still be going for all I know. I sold them each time I had to move) I am a big fan of Kärcher washers because they stand the test of time and keep going if care is taken to ensure their longevity. Each of my previous two gave me at least 5 years of service with no issue with simple things like running excess water out of the pump after the hose is disconnected and applying protectant to hoses and guns. Also, they are so light and easy to move around and carry. It makes using one super simple to use literally anywhere there is a water source available!

If I had to knock anything with Kärcher, it is their guns and their weird fitting for the wand attachment. It makes things pretty exclusive in terms of attachments for these. That doesn’t reflect on the value this washer has. It is a worthy candidate for the best entry pressure washer category and even has enough oomph to compete for a mid-tier category as well. It is a truly great pressure washer.

To me, these are no-brainer sales because everyone needs a pressure washer and Kärcher is one of the oldest and most trusted manufacturers of them. If you have never tried one, you owe it to yourself to give one a shot and see how they work. This one is a great way to do so and I am sure you will find it to be leaps and bounds better than other budget models out there. They are literally the best bang for your buck in terms of value and longevity.

No issues. Fit our Karcher wand.

For use only with Karcher Electric Pressure Washers as it attaches with the proprietary Karcher wand connection. Works quite well for foaming a car when washing. You can adjust the amount of the mixture and adjust the direction of the spray path with the twist of a nozzle.

Background on my primary use of the product – I much prefer an electric pressure washer to a gas as there is less noise and fumes plus they are typically more cost efficient to purchase and run. I use mine primarily for detailing my cars and some occasional cleaning of plastic siding on the house, so anything over 2000 PSI would be over kill for my purposes. The use of the electric Karcher also allows me to wash my cars in the garage with the door closed during the colder months and out of the sun during the summer months.

Review of the actual product – In terms of this Foam Jet attachment, most Foam Canons are only made to use with gas pressure washers so this was a nice find for the electric Karcher models. In terms of operation and results, a proper Foam Canon such as MTM creates better foam but this is a close second having used both. Considering that MTM and others require the use of a gas pressure washer and these Foam Cannon’s cost roughly twice as much as this Karcher attachment, this is a great product. It is also far superior than trying to use a Foam Sprayer that connects to a regular garden hose or the regular reservoir that is attached to most electric Karcher pressure washers.

I purchased this model as it appeared to be better when compared to the smaller Karcher model 2.643-146.0 since it has a larger reservoir as well as the ability to change the mixture (density of foam) with the turn of a knob. The smaller version had many reviews that were also complimentary with most of the complaints centering around the size of the reservoir and this one again has a larger capacity. At the date of my purchase the model as reviewed is also only about $10 more than the smaller model.

You can also do a search on youtube for Karcher Foam Canon and see videos of both this and the smaller model in action.
