Rainmaker Backpack Sprayer - For Home and Garden Applications, Lightweight, Adjustable Shoulder Straps, 4 gal. (16L)

This sprayer worked just as I had hoped. It is much lighter but is performing as well as a more expensive and MUCH heavier sprayer that I tried to use. As a 73 year old, my back really appreciates the lighter weight. Even though this sprayer can carry 4 gallons, which is 33 lbs, I fill it to 2 gallons. This allows me to get more work done without leaving me with an aching back - much appreciated!!

Honestly, the "straps" broke off with the very first use, but I am managing by using old pairs of women's pantyhose in place of the backpack straps and it seems to be working okay (not the most comfortable way to carry this Unit but what else could I do?). Other than the fact that the backpack straps "break off" at the ends where they attach to the base this is actually a pretty good sprayer. The SPRAY VOLUME is considerable and comes out with consistency. I would purchase this again regardless of the broken straps.

The product did what I wanted to do; spread a weed kill agent on 10,890 sqft of land. However, beware of the leak. The seal on the fill spout seem to leak regardless of how hard you tighten. If you can overcome the leaking, this product will work well for your project. I would by it again or recommend to a friend.

I've used this sprayer now for spraying weeds over a 1/2 acre area. Once you receive the product just be careful to make sure that all connections are screwed TIGHT before using. Out of the box all the screw on connections were loose and leaky!!! I ruined a shirt and got weed killer and marking ink all over my back on my first use.

Awesome product. Will purchase it again.

No instructions on how to use straps.

I can honestly say that there is nothing I like about this sprayer. Very first use the pump was leaking, leaving my back soaked in round-up. The spray wand constantly leaked as well. The strap design is awful, they come lose while wearing it. Do yourself a favor and invest a little more money to get a quality sprayer.

We have tried many products, including sprayers from Rainmaker, to water high-plants in our sunroom and on ledges in the house. All of them had cheap flapper-valve type pumps that leak and just don't work well. This model has a better pump mechanism that actually develops pressure! No more standing on counters, sofa's, chairs, and ladders to water plants. However, this model is also a little too big and cumbersome for our application. It is really a backpack sprayer. I also needed to use tape and brass tubing to create a watering wand. RAINMAKER! please make a ~2 gallon watering wand for indoor hanging plants that has a good hand pump (or go electric!). Stop making the cheapo flapper valves!
