UPDATE: 8-7-24 punted to trash. battery finally unable to hold a charge UPDATE: 5-19-24 After several months of hard use the batteries are beginning to FAIL! Light indicators are acting funny while charging.
The true test is how it holds up over time. I remember a lot of people using the SPTA all in one foamer and it just fell apart way too quickly. Cars with Keav also reviewed this and the dang thing ran nonstop for literally an hour plus(granted a majority of that was pumping air, not sure if that would make a large difference), and the performance is great.
Does not hold up over time.. I bought one this February and it failed already (May) after a dozen or so uses. It does foam really well once you get the ratio of product to water right and the battery will last you a whole wash, and you will still have power left over. Now for the bad. The trigger seems to have been an after thought, for starters it is very sensitive so you have to make sure not to touch it while unscrewing the top from the base. The rubber around the trigger does not fully insulate so water will get under the button and over time this will cause the circuit to turn the foamer on even when you are not pressing the button. Eventually it will totally fail.
I bought a battery foamer from Ali express... haven't tried it yet... I will be interested in if yours holds up.. The ik foamers were always more trouble than they're worth in my experience... I would like to try the marolex but I'm not pumping
I have an Ik E Foam Pro 12 with the battery compressor onboard...sweet but heavy & expensive at $255! This unit is what Im looking for to complement my wheel & tire cleaning bucket...fingers crossed for durability!
yes like them alot! For my wheel and tire Foamer I was trying brake P&S BreakBuster diluted 5:1 and I think because it generated a thicker foam I did not really like the spray pattern, I have switched to a 10:1 dilution ratio and it is performing much better. I have 2 of these units, the other one has my car soap in it for Harley or spot washing...
@@waxmanvids5015 there are two foam tips, one that comes already installed and another black plastic one inside the bag. Have you tried them both? The 3rd one is a spray tip.
I got this from Amazon and it works well but it doesn't spread out evenly like in the video. Any tips on how to adjust the nozzle? Thanks and great video BTW 😊
@@actuallyfeng334 oh i think it has a tip to change to a normal spray instead of foaming so should work .. sounds like rinseless washing may work for you too if temp above freezing..

agree
I love battery foamer videos. I hope this holds up for the price. Great videos too.
thanks! Ive been happy with this little unit so far..battery charge seems to last awhile as well
Nice! Ty for testing. I’m tired of pumping. I saw Yvan use this in a DIY DETAIL video and I was curious about it. Great breakdown.
Glad it was helpful!

thanks for info!
Thanks for that input. A lot of youtubers are praising it but they are using it only one time.
Tks review.
Engine bays and under carriage

Great video please keep updated on battery use, also what type of flooring do you have in your garage?
SwissTrax Ribtrax Pro ..amazing
How has it been now several months after your review? Still working?

The product comes with two extra pieces, what are those for?
charger cable and maybe spray instead of foam tip?

Product description says the battery will last "1 to 2 hours" of use. Can you tell us how long did the battery last? Thanks for the video
I will update at some point down the road I only use in short bursts for cleaning wheels and tires occasionally... thanks
@@waxmanvids5015 can you use it to foam an entire small/medium car ? this could be a game changer for us folks with out equipment
Does the manufacture provide any type of warranty?
not sure, maybe check amazon description im very pleased with both both of mine so far
I got this from Amazon and it works well but it doesn't spread out evenly like in the video. Any tips on how to adjust the nozzle? Thanks and great video BTW 😊
hmmm not sure on that sorry!
what product are you running in it?
@@waxmanvids5015 I'm using Chemical Guys Sticky Snowball Ultra Snow Foam
Did you put 16 or 60 oz of water? If you put only 16... there is too much all clean in there
60
Can it just spray water to drain the foam after foaming?Only use it in winter.
yep to purge out nozzle
@@waxmanvids5015 I mean rinse the car with this product after foaming.
@@actuallyfeng334 oh i think it has a tip to change to a normal spray instead of foaming so should work .. sounds like rinseless washing may work for you too if temp above freezing..
@@waxmanvids5015 yeah.In the winter there's so dirty lots of snow salt and dirt.
@@waxmanvids5015 In the winter We will shut the hose to avoid damage.So there's no water to use outside.
Is the connection USB TYPE C?
not sure i would have to check specs
As a matter of fact it is usb c
To expensive
You got that straight!
