A piece of junk. Leaks like crazy. Worst purchase ever. Leaks at any level. Shake, shake shake. Save your money.

[@lucarvian]

The ryobi fogger is garbage. Gotnit hoping I would not experience the negative comments. No such luck. It works 30% of time. Had to shake it side to side to fog. Followed directions exactly. Worked for first 3 mins then barely comes out. Used 3% mosquito barrier solution in water. So it was like water. Went back to HD. Save yourself the grief.

[@ramooninthemoon]

It doesn’t really create a fog does it? More like a very thin spray.

[@improbable1]

It's a piece of junk. DO NOT BUY! I've had 2 and they have both leaked horribly. Works well the first few times then leaks. Multiple videos about this same problem are posted.

[@101mazz]

You're not fogging anything, that's just misting. You'll ruin that sprayer with cedarwood oil. Bad advice from someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

[@michaelhinchey]

Well the instructions don't say anything about cedarwood oil? Where did you find that info?

[@williamjones3639]

Ryobi, please stop making this piece of junk. This thing leaks, no mater the water level. Worst purchase ever!!!

[@joeferrara4580]

Can’t tilt it or that will happen

[@dennisjohnson3117]

crazy mine leaked

[@dennisjohnson3117]

​@@joeferrara4580mine still leaked without tilting it

[@jonathanw8733]

It doesn’t look like it fogs at all. Looks like it’s just spraying

[@mojorrific]

Great tip on the Lesco Mosquito Free! Wouldn't have found it without this video. It's a much better deal than the fully diluted products out there. And I got the same deal on the fogger from Direct Tools Outlet. I actually found your video when I was debating whether to jump on that deal or not LOL. Glad I did. Thanks for the tips!

[@DadDeals]

awesome, glad i could help. The mosquito free is great stuff 👍🏼

[@voltron5128]

Don’t buy this….it sucks

[@Chrisbennett-k5h]

I sent it back. It would spray intermittently even when held level. Would not recommend.

[@csjr9]

Save your money and just get a hose end sprayer. Faster and more efficient...

[@sganet_]

I bought this fogger to spray mosquitoes, and long story short, just don’t waste your money. Not only does it kept getting stuck randomly because the pick up can’t spray consistently, the spray volume is also very low. I sprayed for an hour+ for 2 weekends straight and still have 1/4 left. Just get a proper sprayer that’s capable of 80-100 psi. You can also try the mosquito sniper system to use with a leaf blower. I have both and ended up just using a backpack battery powered 100psi sprayer.

[@coreydixon4056]

Where do purchase the mosquito sniper from?

[@DadDeals]

@coreydixon4056 their website, check the description of the video for a link and promo code

[@vinstinct]

I ended up following a mod for this unit to allow more fluid to go through. It was soooooo slow before.

[@sganet_]

@@vinstinct You know what I did get a sniper system with my ego electric leaf blower and it was not necessary, the 100 psi backpack sprayer was enough. With about 3 tank of 5 gallons I was able to spray my entire front/back/side yard twice. The spray is strong enough to not needed the sniper system, and the backpack itself has a mixing feature so you can either have it mixed and spray, or do both at the same time. (LANUEVA 5.28 Gallon Battery Powered Sprayer with Mixing System). I bought it when it had zero reviews, it worked well.

[@alfredoayala9220]

Don’t waste your money. Bought one, used it once and it never worked again without leaking. Ryobi rep sent a replacement …replacement sucked worse.

[@bphilbac]

I bought a screened in portable tent and that took care of my mosquito problem

[@shaeet]

Just picked up the identical Hart 20V kit for $20 from Ollies and originally just planned on junking the fogger and keeping the 2.0AH battery & charger but I might give the fogger a shot during the spring/summer with some mosquito stuff.

[@shorttermhobbyist]

Thanks for this!!! Just picked one up. The amount money we spend on tiki fluid and thermocell refills is unbelievable. Ready to go to war against those bloodsuckers next spring

[@chrisgrimm2195]

I bought one of these a while back. It's been helpful for mosquito control.

[@DadDeals]

which product do you use in it?

[@germandelariva3754]

Try cedar wood oil mixed with poly acrylic acid. Or try suspend and fast cap.

[@fishycomics]

Something I can use to ward off all teh bugs that our area neighbors do not keep yards clean nice product

[@shark70007000]

So, it's perfectly safe for kids and pets, so put on the full chem gear with mask and everything and freak out the neighbors. Have them wondering what toxic chemicals you are spraying around the house. 😂 I was just wondering what this was when it came up on fb marketplace.

[@brianlang357]

I don't know how ryobi gets away with this piece of platic crap. DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$.

[@karljay7473]

That's not actually creating fog, that's just spraying mist. it's supposed to create a fog cloud.

[@DavidPerez-fr1hb]

Today 08/28 at home depot I picked it up for $28 need to test it

[@DadDeals]

wow at home depot? great deal!

[@hawkhawkins2275]

I would not recommend anyone buy this thing, my wife got me one for my bday about 3 years ago...It claims 15 ft spray, at best it's around 5ft...Also, the 2ah battery it comes with doesn't even last for 2 tanks, which means can't even run a gallon through before having to recharge...I guess that's ok if you have the ryobi platform and have spare battery, but I don't buy ryobi tools, so had to wait and hour to finish 2nd tank...Also, I have used it about twice a year at best, and here we are at spring of year 3 and it no longer pumps the water, so have only used it 4 or 5 times...Also I have always run clean water through it after spraying the insecticide to make sure it was clean and didn't gum up for the next use...Guess it's back to the good old pump sprayer...

[@lilfleck87]

How long does it last on one battery (time wise)?

[@hawkhawkins2275]

@@lilfleck87 Not sure, never really timed it, maybe 5 minutes, 10 tops...On the 2ah, if you have other Ryobi tools I'm sure it would last much longer on a 4 or 5 ah battery if you had one...

[@lilfleck87]

@@hawkhawkins2275 I'm glad I bought an extra battery then... yikes.

[@kameljoe21]

I got one and paid next to nothing for it. I am banking on it not working so that I can rip in to it and fix it. I am sure that nearly all of the problems that it has with it are cheap parts that likely can be sourced off the internet. The pump getting gummed up is likely bits of rust forming on the parts inside. Sitting for nearly a year wet inside likely causes that. So its likely best to stick a batter in it from time to time. The only working when level very well could be that there is a pick up hose problem. Not shooting far could be a restriction problem. When I first started it up it shot out in a long stream. Then I tried it again and it began working. I tested it several times and seems to be working. I do wonder if there is a restriction, regulator or some other sort of things. I do think that most of the problems can be fixed.

[@michaelhinchey]

​@@kameljoe21What liquid did you use? And what is a batter?

[@ctbram0627]

does not look like fog to me. looks like it is simply spraying liquid. That is not fogging! That is like use an electric hand spray bottle!

[@dhansel4835]

I noticed his wooden fence did not have a 'rot board' at the bottom. The purpose of a 'rot board' is to be replaced when the fence gets old. It is better to replace the 'rot board' than all of the bottoms of the fence boards. Yes I agree, it doesn't look like he is fogging but just spraying.

[@clashwithkeen]

Mine would not spray at all

[@budhajek6279]

Had two, they leak

[@DavidWilkie-b7d]

No! Mine leaks badly

[@somersguy]

Thank you:) looks like a hell of a deal & money friendly That repellent cost tho 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@DadDeals]

yea it does make a lot so should last you a long time and it is good stuff. I have a hookup at site one, if i didn’t i’d probably go with something cheaper.

[@wallacefrey6247]

Great review,thanks.

[@stroutma]

Have you heard of anyone who has issues such as just not misting and instead leaking all around tool etc.?

[@DadDeals]

I heard those issues before I bought it but figured for $30 it was worth a shot. I’ve used it a handful of times and haven’t experienced any leaking or not fogging.

[@olhoggy7388]

I just purchased one of the Ryobi "foggers" a few days ago and it doesn't work unless you shake the thing the entire time that you spray. Not sure if it is just a bad unit or not but I would not recommend the unit. Now trying to get Ryobi to answer a support email for the past week but not a peep from them yet.

[@luisrasgado9160]

75 dls for cedar wood oil??

[@wolfiek1610]

Follow up! How’d this work for the rest of summer. Device still wirkjngv

[@DadDeals]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@T-money0985]

Thank you! Just purchased one myself.

[@jeffsond]

How well does it work?

[@T-money0985]

@jeffsond I don't have anything to compare it to. This is the only fogger I have owned, but it works pretty well. One bottle of the Cutter Mosquito fogger lasted me about 6 walks around my property. My property is not huge, but to cover 1/3 acres 6 times wasn't bad. It doesn't fog as much as a propane one, but it does great for a "cold fogger."

[@czechmate1124]

I would say from the look of it; it looks like it's just SPRAYING not fogging. There looks to be very little fog.

[@review4view]

would a chemical sprayer work instead of a mister

[@nATHAN-rk9hf]

Can i use Bifen with this Ryobi Fogger / Mister? I read stuff that Bifen needs propane foggers etc. is it too thick and needs to be water down? Has anyone tried Bifen cuz thats pro grade ish?

[@DadDeals]

check out the mosquito sniper video i recently did. A much better system and you can use bifen with it.

[@berettaguy7445]

Yes, you can use Bifen i/t. It is not thick at all, when mixed properly, i.e. 4 oz. per gallon of water.

[@richardoak5183]

Oh my put some termidor in it treat under the house ,trees, and grass no insects for 6 😂

[@paulbraga4460]

great day! would it make a difference if i use electrostatic sprayer for my plants? mygreathanks and bleesings

Wish they make bigger with 40volt

[@Manuel3525m]

That’s spraying not fog will still do the work

[@jeffsond]

Does it heat up the chemical?

[@WV591]

30 dollars in 2023 and now only few months later 90 dollars. might as well get a backpack sprayer

[@Naptic]

they want 400 in nz

[@enkeledamolla1390]

No Not for big areas

[@gn0my]

Just ordered one off of amazon. How often do I have to fog? Would once every week suffice? I am getting the Black Flag insect fogger fuel to go with it, since I read that it was the best chemical to use.

[@DadDeals]

yea, I did it about once a week during the summer here in the south

[@waltershoults8803]

Dads better sit up and pay attention to this deal , lots of Bill Gates mosquitoes being dropped off on cities in Southeast and Southwest! Great dad deal 👍💯🌎❤️

[@jairocuriele5864]

It's all a conspiracy mounted by Ryobi , they bribed Billie to develop those mosquitoes in order to sell tons of foggers 🤑🤑🤑💯
