Flowzone Typhoon 2V vs Chapin 20v vs Solo 416 li vs Milwaukee M18 switch tank | Whats the best?

[@yycguy8722]

I hope Ego makes a high quality sprayer in the near future, they have a great lineup of products.

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

100% agree with this. I'd love to see that.

[@calebproductions5970]

They do make good products but seriously need to work on that battery life

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

@@calebproductions5970 I have actually been impressed with the battery life. I have the 20" mower with the 56V battery and I'm getting just over an hour of use per charge. Its enough to cut my 14,000 square feet on one charge so I'm very happy with it.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

I agree. I love my Ego 20" mower with the 56V battery. I cut my entire 14,000 square foot front lawn on one battery so it's great and a very quality cut.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The thorough analysis of these four backpack sprayers gets a raving review from this critic. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! The execution was phenomenal and I look forward to future content by this creator.

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Oh stop it you're making me blush.

[@bamagolds]

Helps a lot. One of my yards is huge. I recall refilling 6 times with a 4-gallon pump. Attaching a pump sprayer to mower seat really sped up the process, but I wished I had battery a powered.

[@StephenPRoss]

It would have been interesting to measure flow throughput on the sprayers during the test. In the distance test it looked like the flowzone had a higher output and I wonder how much it sprayed in its 2 hours vs the solo in its 4 hours.

[@alanlarocque2809]

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

[@ILruffian]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. The big problem with the Milwaukee is its well-earned reputation for lacking durability. I'm a team Team Red guy. Milwaukee makes fantastic kit. That said, the Milwaukee Switchtank is the worst tool I've ever owned. Multiple leaks and outright failures. And when it is running, the white plastic elbow has a screen that clogs constantly. Milwaukee was great with regard to customer service. They replaced the unit twice and tank three times. Just called and gave the serial number. Eventually, I had enough. Bought a Typhoon 3. Night and day difference. Anyone who is considering the Milwaukee needs to read the reviews on Home Depot, etc. Total POS.

[@landscapingspecialist]

Surprised you didn’t mention how Milwaukee has a swappable tank with add on tanks to prevent cross contamination of products you may be applying.

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Yes that really is the shining feature of the Milwaukee!

[@christapherdane]

I've had mine for over a year now and I love it. Replace anything on it including the pump for $30. Even though I haven't had to replace anything yet knowing that when something goes out I can replace it fast and for cheap is great! I've used it for hours and hours at a time.

[@Darkloud84]

First of all, thanks very much for all the effort you and your wife put into this video👍. I’m thinking of adapting a backpack sprayer to a walk behind. I have a lot of rural stone driveways to spray, existing push sprayers are 12 gallons or more. Thanks for introducing the Milwaukee, I have multiple Milwaukee tools but had no idea this existed.

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

[@padroooo]

I just bought a Flow Zone sprayer and one of the reasons I picked it was that the parts are available, something to consider. I saw a review on the Chapin and the reviewer said you had to send the Chapin in for repair, I don't know if this is common or not. I really like it and now I have to let my original hand pump backpack I bought in the 1970's go and it still works fine.

[@seabreezeof]

You get a thumps up for all the work to demostrate, use to use quite a few Birchmier hand pump versions to prevent contamination, back in the day. Any experience with the 18V Ryobi, probably on the lines of the Black & Decker/Chapin... Nice to now have the battery versions.

[@mikemorgan5015]

Great review. The only feature I think you missed about the Milwaukee is the switch tank feature. Being able to have additional tanks with different chemicals and not cross contaminate can be a HUGE asset. It would be interesting to have measured the actual amount sprayed during the spray marathon. Of course you could get an extrapolated result by just timing 4 gal in each doing some math. The actual full duration will be a bit less as voltage does drop over time, no matter what they say about Li Ion batteries, their is a distinct difference between a 1/4 charge battery and a full one. Other than that, well done, Sir.

Finally a great video. Thanks!!

[@geneduclos4003]

Hey Brett. thanks for taking the time to make this video. I believe the B&D is a constant pressure sprayer with a 20V, 1.5A battery, the Flowzone is a variable pressure sprayer with a high output pump powered by a 11v, 7.8A battery, the Milwaukee has a five pressure setting control with an 18V, 3A battery, and the Solo has a low (32psi.) and a high (62psi) pressure settings powered by an 11V, 7.8A battery. I believe that this pump would have lasted the longest only because it is designed to push 5gal. of water versus four. I'm curious as to what the pressure settings were for the Solo, Flowzone, and Milwaukee when the spray timing was conducted. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video. BTW the yard looks amazing!

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Thanks for your input gene, I had all the sprayers set to their highest setting for pressure for the test.

U totaly forgot to mention the game changer that Is the tank on the Milwaukee, as a contractor, bring able to switch out chemicals with a couple tanks and only have one sprayer, that is amazing, makes the residual in the tank issue nothing, as you just use the same product over and over in each tank, having backup batteries in the truck on your impact driver for changing blades etc on the go makes things easier as well if u do happen to kill the sprayer battery 👍
