Use this to spray for weeds. Works great

Works

This sprayer is just what I needed. I had been refilling ready to spray bottles from the store, but the bottle opens Inga we’re really narrow and they kept getting clogged. This has a really wide mouth , so it is easy to refill ( I have a one acre yard and most concentrate bottles I’ve found only treat up to 5000 sqft each.) I did notice that it started getting clogged up towards the end of the first use, but I took a 3/32 drill bit and drilled the hole in the lid and haven’t had a problem since (this might affect the mixing ratio, so I still need to test the output). The only other problem was the plastic tab that locks it in the off position. It is a little annoying to deal with. You could cut it off, but I just got a brass hose end shut-off valve, and use that to turn off the water when I need to refill. It works great and cost less than $5. All considered it is a great sprayer for the money.

I like the fact that it sucks up all the solution from the canister. And you know you're done when the canister is empty. I've tried others that seem to keep mixing the hose water with the solution and you never know if it all got dispensed or not because the canister always stays full on those other ones.

Used to apply my fish fertilizer. It seemed to work well for the first few uses but didn't mix by the time I'd had it a few months. If I'm going to have to continually buy sprayers, I'd much rather have one that has a shower nozzle than a ridiculous jet. Not sure why this was so bad. Very disappointed.

It does what it's supposed to, with some modifications.1.) After reading the other reviews about the inner straw not staying in, I epoxy glued it in when I saw it was out before I ever used it. That fixed that problem. And I already had it on hand, so no biggy. Would have been better if not necessary.2.) The dial switch couldn't move from OFF to WATER or ON. There is a little square plastic bit in the way. It doesn't come off, as it's part of the whole thing. However, it is thin enough so you can push it over a little (to the left, out of the way of the dial notch) and then the dial switch works just fine. It doesn't seem to need pushing back in consequent uses.3.) Mixing ration. That's the biggest draw back for me. It seems to be mixing some, but nowhere near what it is supposed to. I followed the instructions to a T, using organic fish fertilizer. I doused all my plants significantly, yet I could hardly smell it. That stuff stinks pretty strongly upon first application, so that was surprising. When I looked at the container, not even half of the fertilizer solution had been used by the end of it. I was pretty sure I used more than 5 gallons of water by then (which was the amount I had prepared it for.)So I ran a little test. Colored water instead of fertilizer to the specified mark.Watered into a 5 gallon bucket until full. Sure enough, only half the mix used again.So, yes, all in all it technically does what it needs to, but it needs adjustments. Now that I know that only half the mix is used, I can adjust my dilution rate, but the point is that between the gluing, the bending and the adjusting, it's not exactly straight forward.But it was cheap, and it has a nice tight seal on the hose, no leakage, which is a great plus!

Great little sprayer. The lid does not leak nor the hose end. It is easy to screw on.

I love this little thing. Been using a backpack sprayer for a couple years and its always a pain lugging it out and around the yard. This little guy cuts the cleanup and time to completion in half.I was concerned about this sprayer simply because I wasn’t sure the pressure through it would be sufficient to get a good even spray. I was very wrong. Excellent pressure and consistent spray through this makes it a breeze to use.One thing I would suggest to anyone who purchases this is to use a pair of side cutters or pocket knife to take the little yellow tab off the selector switch. It’s really unnecessary as the switch is very firm and you should never have accidental discharge.I will be buying several more as I typically spray more more than one chemical on any given day and it will be nice to be able to mix everything I need in the morning and spray throughout the day.
