You dl have to clean these. Just, a lot less. The bigger issue is a leaking/crappy bottle. That’s what makes you have to clean this. Other than that, the foam gun itself is just fine!

Thought that I would save some money for a the small job we were doing. Started screwing in the first can on the project we were starting and the foam started coming out between the mount and the can. Could never get the can screwed on tight enough to stop the foam from coming out around the mount on the gun. So glad we had on disposable gloves on before we started and a small trash can near by, otherwise it would have been even a bigger mess! So we went and bought at the Big Box Store the Great Stuff gun in order to actually start the project. It worked fine, with no problems. Lost a whole can of foam and the price of this cheap foam gun. Should have read the reviews before purchasing this one. There were warning in the reviews of this same thing happening to others. Learn from our mistakes. Since there are lots of sellers out there selling what looks like this same foam gun, don't purchase any foam gun that looks like this one from any seller. Would give it ZERO stars, but you are required to give it one star before posting.

I bought this to use with Great Stuff adhesive foam in the Pro can for subfloor installation. We used it for two days, just turned the valve off and it worked flawlessly with the same can of adhesive foam. I didn't play with the adjustments, I just used it and when too much came out I let off the trigger a little. I cleaned it after the two days of use. Cleans up easy with the sprayer cleaner and wiping it down.The plastic tips are worthless, they pop off after 24" of use. I might try to find a hose clamp to fit over it to hold it on. We used it without the tip. I think that is the difference with the Great Stuff gun, it has a better tip system but it costs 3 times more..I need to play with the knob and see how much control I get, I wish it had a fan tip for the Kraken type spray foam.For the money you can't go wrong with any of these lower cost spray guns, no need for special ones like (Kraken $30). I hate opening a can of the cheap Great Stuff, you have to use it all right then or waste what is left in the can for more than a few minutes. If I were a pro I would probably buy the Great Stuff gun with better tips.

Unlike every can that says it's restartable, this is *actually* restartable. Huge huge difference. Sturdy, easy to control, easy to clean. I accidentally left it open and uncleaned over night and it still restarted the next day. It didn't seem to be compatible with a can of lepage expanding foam. It physically fit well but almost nothing would come out. Could have been the can. Worked very well with Great Stuff Pro.

I have found using this gun with the push on plastic tips to be a very reliable system for applying low expansion foam. I leave the can attached and tips on after use. If it's been a half day or more and I have not used the foam during that period, I pull off the old tip and attach a new tip. I try to keep the end of the gun tip clean. Putting on a new tip is typically the only thing needed. But once in awhile I might use some xylene to brush up the tip.I have not tried using the valve. When I change the can, I quickly detach, spray some foam cleaner inside the basket and screw on the new can as fast as I can.Great product and decent price.Thank you.Updates::::::The last few days I had difficulty using gun. I had been leaving the tips on the end after use. Sometimes it was at least two weeks between usage. After such a long period of time, I started using a small drill bit to remove dried foam in tip before use. This method allowed me to reuse the old tips but caused a build up of dried foam on the business end of the gun where the ball bearing valve is. I looked at the tip under the microscope and I could see solid buildup across the tip of the gun barrel. This was shutting off valve operation of course. I picked the layer of dried foam off (under magnification) with the tip of a knife blade. This resulted in a chewed up gun tip but works again like a brand new foam gun. My new habit is going to be to remove the plastic tip at the end of the day and clean off the end of barrel. I will use a new tip at the start of each day.I have a small jar of Xylene in the area where I keep the gun. I dip the tip in the jar when cleaning.Before I place a new plastic tip on the barrel, I shouldn't but I suck on it for a few minutes to soften it before slipping on. These tips are tough to attach. It helps to place the barrel on top of a corner of a surface to help steady the barrel while forcing the new tip onto the barrel.I had to do foam work in winter time temperatures. I took a box and put a 60W incandescent worklight inside the box. I stick the foam can portion through a hole in the top of the box to keep the can body warm enough to continue foaming in these temperatures.By following these procedures I have been able to minimize the number of guns I throw away and maximize the volume of usable foam in a can. This makes a job that used to be such a headache much more manageable and far less wasteful.Best wishes.

I got this foam gun a couple of days ago because I had messed up my previous one by not cleaning it well enough. My husband was upset with me because he told me it was going to cost $50 for a new one, so I set out to find a better, less expensive one. When I found this on Amazon I thought I would give it a try because it says it is no-clean and apparently, I don't know how to clean a foam gun! I actually really hate dealing with cleaning these things. My husband was skeptical, so I bought it. It doesn't come with directions and the box looks like it is written in Russian, but I had read enough on the Amazon description to know it has a latch on it that you close and then spray out the rest of the foam that is in the barrel. So I did some foaming, locked the latch, sprayed out the remaining foam, attempted to clean off the nozzle and then left it for 2 days. When my husband went to use it after that, once again he started in that I hadn't cleaned it well enough and that I probably ruined it. He did have to scrape off the end a bit, but the gun worked perfectly! There wasn't any residue left in the barrel and there were absolutely no problems with it. He, however, decided to run the cleaner through it after he used it, but it seems that it really is a no-clean foam gun. As a word of caution, there is still A LOT of foam still in the barrel after locking it, so be sure you have a few more things to spray or you will forfeit the extra foam.
