Customer Reviews for Chapin Premier 1 Gallon Sprayer (#21210XP)

I found this sprayer would constantly need tightening and adjusting at the metal nozzle, and where the metal handle is attached at the wand. It was a constant battle to control leakage and waste of insecticide. Even my husband checked these seals and brass tighteners to be sure they were put together correctly. Some part of those components are too large to keep a good seal. Felt it was also not easy to control the amount of product sprayed, both in a more concentrated stream and a wider spray without constant adjustment. Just didn't want to hold position, and would quickly get out of adjustment. We will be on the hunt for a better sprayer in one of the local home improvement stores.

With the sprayer came a list of things that should have been inside the box. The one thing missing that was on the list but not inside the box was a strap. As for the sprayer, I have to keep adjusting the spray tip nozzle because it doesn't seem to stay at the point where I left it at.

Overall it's much better than the cheap plastic sprayers, BUT the nozzle drips. It is a little flimsy but overall ok if you don't mind the liquid dripping all over the place. I am going to see if I can fit a NON drip wand to it before I go out and spend a lot of money on a true professional one. Those are the all metal ones that do not drip and put out a very fine mist. I was saying "Why can't I spray like the professionals"??? Because I need a professional sprayer that's why. I end up moppng up places on the floor it dripped.

This sprayer is good for outdoors, but so is a cheap dept. store sprayer for a lot less. I was expecting a sprayer for indoor use but the stream is way to heavy. When you spray baseboards it will leave puddles on the floor. Very disappointed in the nozzle adjustment.

This is a 60$ ! Sprayer and the pump will break in less than two weeks. Maybe not so bad if your just doing around your home, but I used it every day for a couple weeks and then the pump broke. Not worth 60$

It's a nice high quality sprayer with one glaring design failure. If you don't screw the top on just right it will never seal and will leak air. And it's very easy to get wrong. The threads on the canister make it very very easy to cross thread (maybe I got a bad one) and if that happens, it will leak air. They could have done a much better job here.

I was hoping this sprayer would work well for inside spraying. I can not adjust down to a fine mist. I also purchased the fan nozzle in hopes that one of the other would do the job I needed. Great for outdoors. Just not what I expected it to be for the price.

This sprayer drips alot. I am happier with my $20 sprayer. Not worth the money.

I expected this sprayer would work better than my other cheapy big box store sprayers but was disappointed: the screw-on top does not seal well and leaks when pumping it up necessitating more frequent pumping as well as frustration. Also, the sprayer should come with the fan sprayer nozzle or at least give the choice between the cone and fan, IMHO....

I'm very disappointed in the lack of quality in the most important part of a sprayer. The nozzle tip. In layman's terms, it's junk. The rest of the unit is very high quality in my opinion for the price. But the tip of the nozzle leaks and the stream is anything but straight and controlled. Adjusting to a wide fan pattern is a joke too. I wasted product the very first time I used this sprayer to try and get the desired spray pattern.

I spent almost $80 on a sprayer that clogged up using Thompson water Seal after about 5 min...I ended up buying an electric sprayer from Harbor Freight for $40...I did my 1000 linear foot fence in about 2 hrs. The $80 was a HUGE mistake...I would not waste my time with this product

  Expert response:
The Chapin Premier 1 Gallon Sprayer (#21210XP) is not designed to be used with any type of sealant. Only for pesticides. A better option is the Chapin 1 Gallon Clean-N-Seal Deck Poly Sprayer (25010) which is designed for both.

Dose not hold pressure well Only holds pressure for abut two minutes We purchase two --- we would not purchase again. We were trying to save money $71 and it did not work out. We do have two Chapin Stainless Steel Sprayer 2 Gal. (#1253) $141.00 that works well
