Best battery backpack sprayer? Let's find out!

[@mattalheim1961]

I have the My4Sons going into my 3rd season with it. I have an 8.4k sq ft lawn and use it about every other week between bio stims, fungicide, insecticide and N-Ext ferts. It does extremely well and thus far I've only had to charge it at the start of the season and it lasts from early spring straight through to the end of fall on a single charge. My guestimate is about 70 gallons of output over 8 months, on a single charge.

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Nice! Glad its worked well for you!

[@JC-mx1mk]

Thank you for that!!

[@jeanalexandre1105]

There are youtube videos on how to calibrate your Backpack sprayer.

[@papamowslow196]

Great review. Nice to see any of these options will work for someone working within a budget. I liked watching your dog in the background enjoying the lawn.

[@TheLawnTools]

No Brett, YOU are the battery champion for conducting such a battery of tests on all those sprayers to help folks choose which one to buy 👍🏼

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Oh stop it youre making me blush.

[@leslierobertson5883]

Perfect timing of the video. I have been looking at reviews for two days, and your DETAILES are by far the best. Keep up the great work!

Literally spent all day making this video. Just you and your 4 friends. Haha. Good stuff bro!

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Lol yes the entire day.

My son and I have had My4Sons sprayers for several years, long enough that the sealed lead acid batteries needed replacing. I was pleased that I could order a battery conversion kit from M4S to allow me to use a Dewalt tool battery, which worked great. My son will be converting his to use Milwaukee batteries. They also offer the sprayer that uses Makita, Black and Decker, Bosch, Rigid or Hercules batteries. My sprayer has a variable volume control and a high/low switch which was not mentioned in the video. We love our sprayers. We use the included brass sprayer tips. I put mine on my ATV which I drive while my wife walks ahead or behind to spray weeds on our steep lake bank. The extra long hose and extendable wand are perfect for this as we sometimes need all the reach we can get. The tested sprayer in the video is likely missing the green o-ring (faucet washer) where the parts attach to each other. Replacement o-rings are available at a low price from M4S (I bought 10 extra ones). The service from M4S is OUTSTANDING! I contacted the owner, Lance Ensign, with questions, parts that I lost or broke and to purchase additional parts and accessories. He has always responded quickly, was very helpful and cares about the customer experience and satisfaction. I cannot commend Lance highly enough for his customer service and great product.

[@JC-mx1mk]

Man you tickled me when you said, "I was thinking there might be a terd out of one of these." Great video. Your review helped me too make my decision. I was indecisive because a have about 4 Ryobi batteries. I will purchase the My 4 Sons. Thank you again, You are helping us with your detailed reviews. I know it takes a lot to make these professional videos, "your time" being just one of the major factors. But we need this. I was viewing another video on BP sprayers and that person mentioned your review.

[@infomercialguy]

Nice job! Question. If i wanted to spray "as far" as possible for (insect spray on my house and under my deck) what sprayer battery would be best?? Any thoughts on Dewalt 299 battery sprayer? they say it does 35 feet. THANKS

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

The Dewalt sprayer is fantastic and if you're already invested in the Dewalt battery system it's a no Brainer.

[@stevenle1760]

Do you have an issue with the Ryobi lid cross threading and not sealing? The one I used would never seal right and I would get splashed with chems.

[@1mw4tch1ng]

I had a Chapin 4-gallon backpack pump type and did not last long, rubber seal got brittle even though kept in the shed when not in use, and only use weed killer in it. Called Chapin for a warranty and they said I use chemicals on the sprayer. What do they think weed killers are, Milk?

[@lawnpanda]

[@nedg3740]

[@quickplaya]

Flowzone Silica Sprayer is on clearance at 129$ right now! I think there is 80 left. It is totally overlooked hidden gem. The only difference between the "Silica" version is the attachment to wetsaw and other power equipment. Just replace the nozzle for yard work and you are all set! I got the AMAZING comfort straps and still under 150$

[@andyslawncareandoutdooradv]

Brett I really enjoyed the comparison. I have a 2 gallon sprayers plus and I love it. I plan to review it sometime this spring or summer. For $100 that I paid it is a tank and perfect for my needs and lawn size. Of the 4 sprayers reviewed, I would buy the Sprayers plus

[@893263007]

Wow apparently some of the prices have almost doubled since this video was released.

I’m mid way through but I gotta tell you man.. I’m rooting for the sprayers plus! I don’t want to find out there’s a better and cheaper option after I dropped some major coin on it 😂

[@cliffordmontana4562]

I just ordered the my four sons that accepts Milwaukee batteries. Can’t wait.

[@ericsturgeon2635]

Does he not actually show how each spray?

[@harrison0550]

Technically the Ryobi will run the longest if you slap a massive 9 amp hour batter in it. Heck even the 4 amp hour battery will last forever. However the Ryobi does not put out as many gpm as say a flow zone. I use them both a prefer the flow zone for blanket apps but love running the Ryobi as well. The beauty of Ryobi is just buying the sprayer tool only and using your already owned batteries.

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Nailed it! The ability to swap batteries easily is a huge point for ryobi!

[@woodsmith8439]

The 2.0 battery that came with mine lasts about 20 minutes

[@hawaiiantimes7702]

Output and wand are the only drawbacks to the Ryobi for me. Just gotta walk really slow lol

[@cliffordmontana4562]

Ryobi and Milwaukee backpack sprayers are very low quality, unfortunately. They all fail. Now my four sons offers new sprayers that can accept whatever tool brand you have. Makita, Milwaukee, Ryobi, etc. I just ordered the Milwaukee model.

[@ryanFH22]

Should I save money and go with a Flowzone Typhoon or My4sons or Sprayers Plus?

My4sons for sure.. Metal valve body, two quick change heads (that I hope don't leak) < and the head assortment...Nice!!! If you spray chemicals professionally the heads all have their place.

I've got the flowzone typhoon 2.5 as well. It's a great sprayer but didn't want to compare a $300 plus sprayer to $200 sprayers.

[@dchildress17]

I have the Ryobi.. it’s pretty decent with TeeJet nozzles. I agree about some of the cheap parts but have not had any failures. The lid fitment, that is very annoying. It can be confusing with the markings on the side.. are the hash marks the gallon mark or the gallon number? Look at it, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Lol

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

The lid fitment is the most frustrating part I think. It honestly functions very well beyond that.

[@JP-fk6pm]

I thought you used the Milwaukee? If you were buying one, which one would you get?

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Of the 4 here or if money was no object? Of the 4 there I think the Sprayers Plus would be my first choice if money was not a factor the Solo 416li or the Milwaukee.

[@JP-fk6pm]

@@Brettsgrasscapades Sorry I should have been more specific. Basic home owner grade is what I meant. I have the Chapin from Walmart caught it on clearance. It’s been fine, but doesn’t seem like it’ll last long. I own majority DeWalt power tools so I wish they had one, but I also have the Ryobi battery adapter for DeWalt tools, so I guess that’d be the move.

[@koomo801]

When I first started using my SprayersPlus 105 Ex, I cranked down way to hard on the locking nut for the wand and it cracked. I emailed their customer support and received a replacement wand that week, even though I explained that it was my fault. So, don't crank down on that plastic locking nut! Just a little tight is good enough to prevent leaks. My only criticism of the unit is the nature of the lid/flange. As Brett shows, it has to be shaken to get the last bit of liquid out. No big deal, really, and that flange design is super strong, so that's the trade off. No way are you ever striping out or breaking that lid.
