PTN ULV Portable Electric Sprayer, 2L Disinfectant Fogger Machine, Disinfectant Fogger Sprayer, Adjustable Nozzle, Multi Purpose for Garden, Car Washing, Travel, Home Cleaning, Home Disinfection

No hand pumping. jest flip the switch and spray. Woo hooo.

Did the job but not fine enough of a spray to call it a fogger. Much more suitable for the garden

Holds enough to drench two windows worth of thirsty ferns, Holds twice as much as competition, but not too much to handle. A useful and manageable volume. I take it around in a rollator. A regular watering can is too heavy, spills are a big nuisance, this avoids all that, can't spiil! Very pleased..

For a serious gardener, this is little better than a toy. It also arrived very badly packed, with three kinks in the pathetically short delivery tube ( 19"). See my photo. One of these, where it emerges from the cap, refused to go away, rendering it virtually useless. You can even see the kinked hose in one of the product page photos, suggesting that the spray in that photo is faked. Having this connection facing upwards from the cap whilst the hose has to be used at 90 degrees or so is a fatal design flaw. Kinks in cheap tubing, as well as making for poor application, are prone to turn into leaks. The tube is the thinnest, weakest and presumably cheapest, you could hope to find; there are better qualities about.It has no carrying strap, so has to be carried in the hand; the short tube and lance (8") means that in some situations, it will have to be held at arm's length, a certain recipe for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), especially when it's full. Needs a health warning.It's powered by 4AA batteries, supplied, which need a tiny screwdriver for changing them. I would be concerned about the longevity of both the screwheads and the self-tapping screw holes, to say nothing of the risk of clumsy hands losing the screws.The plastic container feels cheap and thin, about the quality of a laundry detergent or other supermarket bottle. That said, it doesn't have to withstand any pressure, but it had better never be left out in the sun. At the time of writing, the product page declares the bottle capacity to be 600ozs; that's about 8.5L. As moulded into the bottle, it is, in fact, 2 litres, or 68 UK fluid ozs. Carelessness of this kind doesn't inspire confidence.There is no advice or instructions in the box or on the bottle, but some printed on the packaging.The product page declares viscousity handling to be 500 cps, which is about the consistency of SAE 50 engine oil, Viscosity ratings are not likely to mean much to your average gardener, so are presumably given in order to bamboozle. This claim appears on the packaging, too - but which then goes on to say that use should be limited to water-based solutions - which about 1.5cps. This kind of contradictory misinformation further dimishes confidence.The quoted flow rate would empty the container in 4 minutes, although the box advises never to run the sprayer for more than 60secs. The actual flow rate will depend on the seriousness of any kinks, another danger of which is that if flow is reduced or even cut off, a moment of inattention whilst correcting this could see the spray going where it is not wanted.Perhaps the manufacturers are new to designing garden sprayers; so for their benefit, I will add that the provision of the best quality tubing they can find - and more of it - a more robust, infra-red resistant container, a carrying strap, an easily-detachable, non-losable, battery cover and, perhaps most importantly, a right-angled connector in the container cap, would make it well worth its price. (Oh, and a new advertising copy-writer should be employed)

Great item, easy to use and lightweight.

Initially the spray worked well, but after a few weeks it began to leak and lose power.

This is a compact horticultural sprayer suitable for applying weedkiller and, perhaps after throughly washing, spraying humidity-loving plants and using liquid fertiliser. Unlike most sprayers, either operated by hand like a kitchen surface cleaning product, or through pressurisation by pumping air into a dispenser, this product is battery powered. Batteries are included incorporated into the spray unit handle.The product works reasonably well for me as my garden is small. The unit itself is small only holding two litres. In addition the spray hose and delivery novel is very short - around a metre in total. This product will not be suitable for large or even medium sized gardens.Whilst the product is easier to use than a manual kitchen-like spray, I'm not at all convinced it's superior to the pump-pressurised approach. Those don't need batteries and are easy to use. They also tend to be rather larger and much the same price as this electric unit. Further, this unit's batteries will need to need replaced and, no doubt, the existing batteries will expire at a critical moment.Build quality is not outstanding. The plastic container is meant to be translucent so you can see how much liquid is inside and use the potentially useful half litre measure imprinted on the size of the container. In fact the container is opaque. The plastic pipe linking the up-pipe in the container to the spray handle is very thin and of questionable quality and the container itself has little more substance than. a thick milk container. Also adjustment of the spray itself is very limited.Overall this is only a little better than the pump dispensers that come pre-filled this weedkiller. It works, for now, for my limited purposes but if I was investing for the longer term, or for a larger garden, I'd buy a pressurised system at much the same cost.Overall two stars.
