Quivr Foam Cannon vs Other Options – Is It Worth the Hype?

If you’ve seen the Quivr Foam Cannon online, you’ve probably asked yourself: “Is it really better than the $30 Amazon version?”

We bought it, tested it, and compared it side-by-side with other popular foam cannons. Here’s the truth.

What You Get with the Quivr Foam Cannon

Quivr’s foam cannon is a sleek-looking setup with a wide-mouth bottle, stainless steel fittings, and a premium feel out of the box. It claims thick foam, adjustable spray pattern, and improved durability over cheap generics.

Specs:

  • Wide-base anti-tip bottle (like MTM)
  • 1.1 mm orifice pre-installed
  • Brass core internals
  • Foam fan and flow adjustment knobs

Retail price: Around $79

What We Compared It To

  • Amazon Best Seller: Twinkle Star + MATCC (avg. $25–$35)
  • MTM PF22.2: ~$90 top-tier pro option
  • Quivr Foam Cannon: $79 direct from Quivr

All cannons were used with The Super Soaper at the same dilution (2 oz per 16 oz water) using a Ryobi 1800 PSI electric pressure washer.

Foam Performance Test

  • Quivr: Good foam, but not noticeably thicker than the $30 cannons. Solid dwell time. Minor inconsistency between sprays.
  • Amazon Generics: Foam was slightly wetter, but still usable. Weak knobs and frequent leaking noted.
  • MTM: Best overall foam, most control. Also most expensive.

Verdict: Quivr beats Amazon basics in feel and build—but doesn’t outperform them significantly in foam output when using a quality soap like The Super Soaper.

Build Quality & Ergonomics

  • Quivr: Well-balanced. Solid brass fittings. Comfortable grip.
  • Amazon Options: Lighter but flimsy. Knobs stripped fast. Plastic threads.
  • MTM: Industrial quality, but bulkier and heavier.

Quivr clearly put thought into design—it feels better built than cheap competitors. But again, foam output isn’t night and day different.

Do You Actually Need to Spend $80?

If you’re using a top-tier soap like The Super Soaper, the difference in foam quality comes more from the soap and dilution than the cannon.

We’ve seen $30 cannons produce shaving cream-style foam with Super Soaper. And with proper rinsing and care, they can last a year or more for most users.

Best Foam for Any Cannon?

We paired the Quivr and all other cannons with The Super Soaper and the results were clear: the soap made the biggest difference—not the cannon.

That’s why if you’re starting from scratch or upgrading, prioritize the soap before you drop $80 on a cannon that might not change your results much.

Want Thick Foam Without Overpaying?

You don’t need an $80 cannon to get shaving-cream foam. Just pair your setup with The Super Soaper and watch the suds fly.
