    One of the best I've owned

    By John on 01/12/2018

    If you are a fan of B&G you will love this sprayer. I do a lot of Bed Bug work and like the fact that I do not have to haul a sprayer around with me constantly. It is on my back leaving my hands free to move mattresses, boxsprings, etc. The hose and wand are quality B&G products. Highly recommended.

    Nice but falls short in some aeas

    By Sjm on 08/02/2019

    I have been using B&G products for years professionally. Unfortunately, this sprayer does not live up to the B&G quality I have known. First off, the hose leaked at the plastic handle connection. The clamp they use is insufficient and would not tighten. I had to replace right away with a regular tried and true hose clamp. The clips at the top of the tank to store the wand are totally worthless. The wand will not snap into place and also are oriented horizontal instead of vertical which make the wand stick out. This can be inconvenient when storing in your truck. How R&D missed that as all they had to do is look at a Birchmeier. The wand is not as comfortable as the traditional B&G wands as well. In my opinion this sprayer has fallen way short of the B&G name. The Birchmeier is still the better sprayer. Between these two sprayers, I can spray much faster with the Birchmeier but uses more product typically. A trade off I'm not sure yet is worth the purchase. Save money with less product used but time is money. I would go with the time and something I know has worked for 5 years or more problem free. Just looking at this B&G sprayer construction makes me highly doubt I will get the same performance.

    Great Backpack

    By Ben on 08/04/2018

    All my techs really prefer this back pack over the birchmeire. Its light and the wand is of B&G quality. The output of material is amazing. The only con is the pump handle, it does not come out. That's the only thing I feel is a con, but I feel really comfortable the way it is.

    If you're a professional this and the beirchmeier

    By Filthy on 11/14/2018

    This and the beirchemier backpacks are the only backpacks that are worth a buy Maybe flowzone too but I've never bought one of those because I've had my pest pro for years Also the 4 way tip is interchangeable with your B&G in case on gets clogged or you lose one

    Review Update from 8/2/2019

    By Sjm on 05/21/2020

    Well, I was spot on when I reviewed this back on 8/2/19. I was not sure how well this would hold up compared to the Birchmeier. Now that I have used this for several months here are my findings. Cleaning the inside of this tank can be a pain at times. There are so many nooks and crannies its ridiculous, But most important, the straps that connect this to the backpack are totally insufficient. Talk about a weak link!! Both straps tore completely away from the frame. My workaround was using a safety pin on each side to reattach which only worked for a short time. Then I just tied the straps to the frame which also did not work very well as there is just not enough slack. After struggling with this for a few months, I have shelved this product and went back to old faithful, the Birchmeier!! After one job with my Birchmeier, I wondered why I waited so long! What a huge disappointment this B&G product has been. I still can't believe how this got produced considering how well B&G has been over the years. Do yourself a favor, if you are going to use a backpack daily, stay far away from this one!! The last thing you need to be doing out in the field is struggling with your equipment! Oh and by the way, I am completing jobs in half the time after I went back to my Birchmeier. Far superior in soooo many ways.

    Save your money started to malfunction after 4 months

    By Eric on 09/11/2020

    I probably average 20 sprays a week. I've only had it 4 months and it won't hold pressure. Left message for b&g since it's under warranty no return call. If I were you I would get the 2.5 gallon birchmier. This brand is the best backpack on the market I'm dissapionted on b@g quality.

    ive owned two of them. Go with Birchmeier or Cyclone 2V

    By My on 10/10/2019

    I can tell you they only last about two years at most before breaking. Last one i had broke where the screws are and handle run threw. The straps break in six months then you have to rethread them or glue them together. I did love the 4 way tip being interchangable with my spray can tho
