Does that include the foam bottle? I think thats what it is in the picture...but not sure if it would do the trick for the snow foam. Please let me know as I will be picking one of them up if it does!! Thx.

It would dilute snow foam but not to the level that a proper lance would, more like soapy water than thick foam. You have to get a proper lance and snow foam, about £50.

So it wouldnt really be of any use, or would it still "do the trick"? 2 doses???

the little bottle does work in a fashion, but does not dilute the snow foam to the same degree, so its not worth having snow foam

as mentioned you need a proper lance

To use a snow foam lance your going to need a pressure washer PLUS a lance. They are a specialist tool that nobody supplies with a pressure washer as far as I know.

I just thought anyone wanting to get into snow foaming could save a few pounds on the pressure washer, even budget machines are usually £35 -£40 .

and dont forget to check what your buying. some of the cheaper ones have odd size fittings, i bought a cheap one, cost me a few more quid to get the fittings right. and now i want to upgrade to a better one and will have wasted my time. and a good snow lance is £50 every where

Great minds Rich! Mutts nuts for cleaning the drive too. Find the 50% extra power nozzle a little too much power and just washes the snow around

I bought one of these the other day, luckily my daughter lives in p'boro so just picked up on way to see her. Thought it was a good deal. Just waiting for my snow lance and foam to arrive
