Sprayer is light. works well but battery is awkward
By Jeffrey on 06/25/2016
My unit came and the motor was poorly installed. It was crooked and the battery would not slip on. Pretty poor quality control. I took it apart and re-positioned it. Took about 10 minutes. Annoying but it's okay now. I'm happy it has a brass nozzle. Those plastic ones are awful. Just awful. It is very light. The top is sturdy and has a handle built in which is a great idea when you don't want it on your back like for spraying under a deck. It does not shoot as far as i thought it would. I fully charged the battery and it goes about 12 feet. Horizontal. I'd like to know how the other reviewer got 30 feet high! I left the battery on accidentally and it died over night. Charge is not a fast charge IMO. No where does it say how long the charge is and I didn't pay attention the first time other than i know it was hours. I'm going to search for a replacement battery so I have two. I wonder if they make a larger battery to get a little more power out of it that fits. It would be nice if they said what battery line fits this sprayer. All in all this sprayer is so much better than a pump sprayer. The motor and battery add negligible weight and it's very simple to use. I'm glad i bought it.

backpack sprayer

commercial contractor

I absolutely love the sprayer I am a commercial contractor and really appreciate not having to keep pushing the handle for pressure. It is fabulous for a homeowner. If you or the manufacturer would make a stronger tank frame and backpack straps I would gladly pay 3 times the price I like it that much. Great product but some contractors just need a more industrial sprayer. all said I love the thing just hope it hope it holds up to commercial use. You have a great start keep up the good work.

Just say No to hand pumps
By Jeff on 07/09/2016
Very nice. Pros The battery weighs nothing ( as in very little) It's small and so is the pump which also is pretty light. The nozzle is brass. I HATE the plastic ones. The top is nice and strong, wide and easy to open and use. The strainer is well made and also easy. It is so easy to use and saves tremendous time. Cons The straps are cheesy and not all that comfortable It takes some getting used to, to find the switch when it's on your back Worst thing, if you forget to turn it off, the battery drains overnight. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it. It saves time and bending over to pump.
