I hope it does what you said. I purchased a 1 gallon Ryobi 18V sprayer. It has a 3 year warranty. It quit working in about 2 years. I took it to an authorized Ryobi service center. They first said 'we can't get parts from a company named Gardner MFG). Then they told me They needed the receipt from Home Depot. I found where I registered it but that wasn't good enough. I just waisted $ 70.00+ dollars.
The Ryobi 4 gallong sprayer was junk for me. I used it twice and then started having issues with the motor. I also didn't like the quality of the wand. I felt like it was getting developing a slight curve to it for the short time that I had it when it was secured to the holders on the side of the frame. Also, the plastic of the handle and wand made me question the longevity of it. The worst part was having so much liquid left in the container at the end of my spraying. I love all of my other Ryobi stuff but I returned the dud to HD. I'm upgrading to a flowzone for spraying my yard.
I have used this sprayer for meth lab remediation. I didn’t bother to look if these products are safe to use with this sprayer, but I make sure to thoroughly rinse after each use. I ran simple green, trisodium phosphate as well as mineral spirits through this sprayer with great success. Necessary tool for me to get meth contamination levels to non detectable.
Thank you. The flat nozzle seems it would be good for weed killer. Open the new Ryobi out of the box. We were getting anxious about using it. Once hooked up there was a problem because it was leaking from underneath the battery. Steady heavy drops. Fortunately we were just trying water. I can’t imagine having some chemical leaking all over your backside. So, we will be taking back to Home Depot to return it and try another one hoping for better luck.
Thanks for the honest review. I’m a little disappointed in the fact that it’s a plastic wand. Was really hoping for stainless steal on that thing. Another thing that would have been nice would be a pressure adjust dial on the wand like a lot of the pro models that have a constant flow. However, with that being said, I’m probably still going to buy it next year when I switch from granule to liquid based pre emergents. You should check out the pamphlet that comes with the new batteries and probably that sprayer. The one that has the different tools listed. You can get a sneak peek at the ones coming out. I saw a bug light and a power window vacuum! I don’t remember the PXXX but you can probably find it in that insert with the manual.
Awesome!!! Thanks for the video!!! I actually managed to pick one up last weekend. And used it to spray weeds. When the trigger was not pulled liquid would still leak out of the end of the wand. I called Ryobi and they are sending me a new wand set up. The customer service was very easy to work with. Thanks for the video again!!! I think this will be very helpful for others as well.
DavidH thanks for commenting! Let us know if there are any other tools you’d like to see and next time we will try and get the video out before you buy the tool. 😉😁
So a little update...I received the new wand within a couple weeks after talking to them. They sent extra gaskets as well. The new wand works great. I would prefer a harder plastic wand. When ever the trigger is squeezed it does pull back quite a bit. I agree as mentioned above that I wish the pressure was adjustable. But overall, no ragrets. Not even one letter.
Great demonstration but was hoping to see how far it sprayed. Need it to spray my fruit trees some which are 15 to 20 ft high. The wall was about four feet away from where you were standing so the distance capability wasn't very apparent.
Good demo on the sprayer, I had one of the 1 gal sprayer, well, let me say I had four of them and none of them lasted more than a couple of month, so I'm not sure it's going into my Ryobi collection, but I'm not saying "NO" right now.
You can use the remaining liquid by placing a small container in the bottom of the pack and insetting the pickup tube into it. I’ve done that with other backpack sprayers with a pickup tub and it works fine, provided the seal on the hose is good where it connects to the pump. It may be possible to zip tie the pick up hose as well. Nice review though. I’ve never seen anyone put a pack on the way you did, lol. I just grab them over one shoulder and reach, lol.
Ryobi did fix the pick-up tube issue by making it more rigid and formed to face down into bottom of the tank. I just bought one but will be returning it to HD. The flat fan nozzle is way too misty for insecticide/fungicide unless someone can suggest an aftermarket fix. Thanks for the review.
Folks I’ve tried this unit 2 times in order to give it the benefit of doubts. Why is that? Because after about 3 weeks of use on both machines that I have tried the unit quits to work. I loved how it worked in the beginning I was very careful with the care but the pump still gave out. I’m going to try it one more time and let’s see what happens.
I own a pest control company and last year I added mosquito treatment. While I waited for my gas powered sprayer/mister to be delivered I went to home depot and purchased this sprayer to use for mosquito control. It worked great, did the job but even on the lowest setting (output) it let out too much chemical. I eventually changed the wand and the tip. I now use this as a backup to my gas powered sprayer/mister. It's good for homeowners and light duty. For the price, well worth it!
Hey I use this backpack for pest service general and mosquitos so I use it everyday I'm having issues with my motor making a sound as if it's trying to suck in water even when full. I've had it for alittle less than a year now have you encountered this problem with yours by any chance?
@@jpez9690 Sorry for the delayed response, but I ended up buying a FIMCO Pistol Grip Sprayer wand with a metal tip from Amazon, still put out more chemical than I needed but better than stock. Hope this helps.
@@MrAdrian2416 As a matter of fact I have but not when full. Usually when it ran down to about a 1/2 or sometimes 1/4 of the tank but just once in awhile. I would drain the tank and blast it with a water hose. Sometimes it would get clogged (I don't know why) and it would the trick. Still worth it as a back up. Hope this helps.
just ordered this.. pretty sure i can just take the wand off my field king pump sprayer and use it when this one dies.also, since i already have a ryobi one kit i have 2 other batteries!! awesome. plus the fan blade is for spraying weeds in your yard. how do you regulate the pressure on this system?
Have this backpack use it for pest control (i know it's no for commercial use) however its reasonable price had it for about a year now no issues until now my motor keeps making sounds like if it's trying to suck in the water and or something is stuck inside I cleaned it out took the wand and everything apart nothing was clogged not sure what the problem could be other than I over worked the motor. Can anyone help in what maybe it can be if anyone has had this issue?
There is no adjustment for power. It is all or nothing. So the danger of over spraying and killing wanted plants is imminent. After a short while the hose started to blow up like a sausage in the microwave and eventually it burst creating a corrosive mess all over the inside of my van. Other than that it works great. LOL Most Ryobi tool are decent, but anything dealing with water is a no-go; backpack sprayer, hand held sprayer, pump all way too flawed.
Thanks for the great review. Can this spray oil based chemicals or light cream chemicals? Does it have the power to spray or dispense something like that or only waterie substances?
Ricky B it is okay. It’s a little easier to attach and detach while it is on the ground. Much easier to reach and detach if you have the pack on. But you have to be careful how loose or tight you have the lid or it will hit you in the head. Also it obviously does not store as nice.
I have the same sprayer for pest control... I've only used it 3 times. It worked fine until recently When I turn the unit on now it immediately starts spraying. I've spent hours trying to troubleshoot it and come up short. Please help if you have any suggestions. TY
Ron Dorzan that is unfortunate. We were concerned about the handle malfunctioning when we tested it. DavidH mentioned in the comments that he reached out to Ryobi directly and Ryobi sent him a new handle assembly. You might give that a try.
I work as a pest control Tech and I've used several different backpacks from the pump version as well as the battery operated one. This comes off very cheap. The battery door would certainly be broke within a week working with my guys. Its placement is horrible, very bad design. Also the trigger mechanism should look like a power washer style handle. Its a cheap $10 pump sprayer like handle. Just like those real cheap pump sprayers you buy from Lowe's and Home Depot. there's no way I'd waste my money on this and I am Ryobi guy. I have a bunch of their tools
the eabster thanks for the comment! Our opinion is that this is a DIY tool for sure. Definitely not professional quality. As you said and we pointed out in the video, the amount of plastic in heavy use locations on this sprayer is concerning.
I wouldn't recommend it or see if the manual says anything about it. There's no guarantee that you will get all of the stain out and that would kill your 150.00 sprayer. Your best bet is to buy a cheap throw away sprayer. for 20 bucks.
a 4 years ago and STILL have same sht design on electric and hand pump sprayers. One company could bankrupt competitors with RELIABLE , QUALITY equipment. You DON'T get what you pay for. Highest priced are P O S also.
I guess they took it off the website your link took me to Amazon and then I search for a Ryobi backpack from there and it does not come up. I don't know who the designer was for this backpack but they need to be fired. Lol
I hope it does what you said.

Would have liked to see a spray distance test with the pin stream tip for roof line and high window treatments.
Same here...

And?
Great review, I love how you went through all the pieces that are in the box and then again went you went thru them on the table. Great use of time.

Me too - "Would have liked to see a spray distance test with the pin stream tip for roof line and high window treatments." as Frank C asked.
If you think that is heavy try carrying 5 gallon can on your back firefighting uphill.

three year warranty on taht model

erik e look up teejet nozzles. They should work with this model.
Great review. 4 gallons was more than I needed, so I opted for the 2 gallon version. Does a great job.
Other than half tank size, what are the differences in comparison to This video. Would love any details or info or opinion. Thanks

What wand/tip did you use ro replace? I also run pc operation.

Brilliant review thanks ,room for improvement with the sprayer .
I got one and for some reason i can hear the pump even if im not spraying and it doesn't even spray
Check the inlet tube inside the tank it's not attached to anything and can sometimes float above fluid level
can we use P2800A wand and nozzle parts that are metal on this sprayer?
Wow, lot's of flow and quite the power as well. Ryobi for the Win!! And to think I was going to purchase the Milwaukee version.
My only pet peeve with this sprayer is the pickup, does not empty completely! Plan on modifying it.
Yes leaves about 3 quart. I see the problem is the design the infeed hose float. Pleased share if modifications works thanks
@@michaeljennings6647 a rubber band or a zip tie works well keeping pick up in place!
High pressure NOT good in wind. Too much mist to drift. Otherwise like it
Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for the review you answered all of my questions.
Glad to help!
Maybe be sure the wand is not attached for storage when you put it on? Just saying....
How do you replace the hose
Just bought one , really need it for the weeds out in my property. Hope it last long time (-:
Where you bought it?
What is the difference between this and to the 2860 model? Both are 4 gal but can't figure out which to buy
I have two for commercial use and love them
I use soap with my insecticide to make it stick better. I wonder if that would clog this system
Have this backpack use it for pest control (i know it's no for commercial use) however its reasonable price had it for about a year now no issues until now my motor keeps making sounds like if it's trying to suck in the water and or something is stuck inside I cleaned it out took the wand and everything apart nothing was clogged not sure what the problem could be other than I over worked the motor.

How is the lid holder for the wand like shown on the box?

just picked up 2 of these for 10$ each at HD on clearance, how can you tune down the spray volume?
me too .. where did you get yours im on ky but mine won't build pressure
Review well done! Worth to watch!!!
Thanks Walter!
Super well explained!!
Great review! Thank you.
Thanks, great review.

Is there a battery backpack sprayer that you would recommend?
So I can use 6 ah in this item ?
Do you think you can you use a deck wood stain with this?
I wouldn't recommend it or see if the manual says anything about it. There's no guarantee that you will get all of the stain out and that would kill your 150.00 sprayer. Your best bet is to buy a cheap throw away sprayer. for 20 bucks.
Thanks for the review, well done. What microphone are you using?
Is this electrostatic?
Can you use weed control chemicals.
Great review I am going to star fallowing you or subscribe and I actually bought one today after watching this video
Can I get this in the United States
Yes, they stock it at our local Home Depot in Utah.
The psi is too darn low! I need 150 psi for what I have in mind. UGH!!!
Awesome! How can I get one in Nigeria? And cost?
I can ship probably ship you one.
would you recommend using a weed control with this?

There is no this product sell on Amazon.
Pipop Chatrabhuti it’s in homdepot stores just go pick one up there.
Wish he would've tested it on bushes. Mosquitoes.
