Ryobi Foam Blaster vs Foam Cannon – Which One Should You Use?
If you're serious about washing your car, you’ve probably come across both the Ryobi Foam Blaster and traditional foam cannons. But which one gives you the best results?
Let’s break it down based on foam quality, ease of use, and overall cleaning performance.
✅ Foam Quality
Foam Cannon: - When paired with the right soap and pressure washer, a proper foam cannon delivers **super thick foam** that clings to the paint. - Great for deep cleaning and pre-soak. Ryobi Foam Blaster: - Lighter foam, less clinging power. - Decent coverage but not comparable to pro-grade foam. 🏆 Winner: Foam Cannon
🛠️ Ease of Use
Foam Cannon: - Requires a proper setup: pressure washer, fittings, etc. - More customizable but more to dial in. Ryobi Foam Blaster: - Plug-and-play with Ryobi pressure washers. - Fast and beginner-friendly. 🏆 Winner: Ryobi Foam Blaster
💧 Cleaning Power
The real cleaning power comes from the **soap** and the **pre-soak dwell time**. If you're using a quality soap like The Super Soaper, you’ll get solid results from either tool — but the foam cannon gives you more dwell and coverage time. 🏆 Winner: Foam Cannon (with the right soap)
🔧 Best Soap to Use
Whether you're using a Ryobi Foam Blaster or a full-on foam cannon, your results will only be as good as your soap. 👉 Use this: The Super Soaper – Ultra Foaming Car Soap Or on Amazon: Buy on Amazon
Final Verdict
If you’re just starting out or already own a Ryobi pressure washer, the Ryobi Foam Blaster is a solid tool. But if you want pro-level foam, a traditional foam cannon with a high-powered pressure washer (and high-quality soap) is going to outperform every time.
