Electric Knapsack Pressure Sprayer 20L Garden Weed Killer |

I have had a lot of manually pumped sprayers in the past. Hand pumping is a chore, and hand pumped sprayers have the same annoying habit of gradually losing pressure as you spray until you pump again (stating the obvious, I know). This electrically pumped sprayer, on the other hand, is a joy to use. You get a consistent, powerful spray that doesn’t fail until all the liquid has gone. However – the power of the sprayer is such that, if you don’t exercise some care, you will very soon empty the container. It is possible to feather the trigger to control the rate of spray, but if you are spraying a wide area (as opposed to individual weeds), you only need to ensure that you cover the ground at a suitable rate. Just one minor niggle – the straps that make this a back pack are of a lesser quality that is not consistent with the sprayer itself. The other thing I would add that the weight of the sprayer (which in itself is an indication of the quality of the materials used) is such that you would need to be quite fit to use the full 20 litre capacity of the unit. I tend only to use 10 litres of its capacity. And, to be sure, I’m not sure that I would trust the straps if the tank were full to 20 litres!
