  The Aliexpress page that you quoted has pictures and measurements of a variety of adaptors. Can't you compare those to what you have?

  The Aliexpress item you linked to has the measurements for each connector. Measure the connector on your pressure washer and work out which if any are compatible.

  Is this for actually making snow? Or is that just a term for foam

    If you live in an artic climate, then both. Otherwise, just option B

    Makes soap bubbles/foam.

  I actually had two of these prior to a third that were on the cheap side. One was a no name brand, the other was an actual Karcher branded one. Both weren't that great. The foam wasn't really that thick and nice like you see in the pictures. Had been told that a lower quality nozzle might be the case, so I picked up an Autoglym one with a brass middle body. Build quality is much better than the other two, and the foam was phenomenal. Its very solid and the nozzle up top actually works to adjust the foam rate unlike my previous one from Karcher that was either all or nothing.

  I'd honestly try not to cheap out. I picked up the Autoglym one on sale (30% off) so it came to $70 or so.

    Did you use it with a Stanley electric washer?

      It says… Includes adaptors for use with most Karcher and Gerni pressure washers.
      So I guess the commenter didn’t use it on one.

      Have a look at the adaptors in store and see if one matches.
      Being a car cleaning brand I am thinking it’s not super quality, doesn’t your cleaner have one as an accessory?

      Naar mate, I have a Karcher K series. Nothing big but does the job.

      As long as you've got the PSI, you'll be fine as it needs that pressure to give good suds.

      Based on the image, the Stanley attachment on the head looks identical to the Karcher nozzle from my Autoglym snow cannon, that being said as PVA said, the Autoglym comes with attachments and will surely have one as Stanley are a decent brand.

        Bought the Autoglym and its attachment (gold colored one) worked. Thanks!

        (possible to get it from SCA, by price matching Repco and using giftcards from suncorp for $58)

          Ahh, I see you are a man of culture too.

          @kehuehue: But in all seriousness glad you got the autoglym one in the end, I've cheaped out on them before and wasted $50 or so on ones that don't work that great, so I am glad my advice was taken :)

  I replaced the orifice in my snow cannon and it made a huge difference, I have tried cheap and expensive and it was the orifice that made the difference in the end for me. From memory went down to a 1.1mm
