The Reason I gave Ryobi a 9.5 for this Back Pack Sprayer

[@mainj54]

FYI , according to Ryobi the sprayer can deliver up to 90 psi. I just started using mine and am impressed. Also there is a removable strainer in bottom of tank on pump inlet. For the sprayer weighing close to 50 lbs. with 4 gallons it is easy to carry on your back.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

This is true, it didn’t weigh my back down as bad when completely filled. Good information ℹ️ on that Strainer on the inside.

[@0dark35]

Follow up. I upgraded the wand. Very happy. I followed John Ware's setup on the Lawn Forum. There is a post there and a youtube video titled "build a better sprayer wand".

[@mainj54]

@@0dark35 That sprayer wand upgrade is nice but those parts cost more than what I paid for my sprayer😒

[@0dark35]

@@mainj54 I think that is a completely legit point. If you are starting from scratch, buy a sprayer from Pete with his nozzles and you are done. Sourcing these parts is expensive via mail. I got lucky and found the trigger on the cheap and I ended up sourcing it from 3 vendors over the course of a week for under $70. A Northern Tool Trigger and Pete's kit 35 + 30 comes in at about the same. My Ryobi sprayer is 2yrs old and I am on the Ryobi battery platform, upgrading the wand made sense and it will also last forever. Now if starting from scratch I would just buy a sprayer from Pete with his set up. This saves a lot of time and headache. Happy spraying!

[@bexxISM]

Still good after a few months??

[@drumcrazy72]

If Ryobi don't send you one for a friend, they're nuts. Great, honest, helpful review. FYI, I watched this AFTER I purchased one, and I'm even happier now that I did.

[@sidsteverson1005]

I’ve had my sprayer for 3 weeks and I’ve taken it through corn rows spraying and I’ve also sprayed msm 60 for Bahia on multiple lawns and both tips are fantastic! I was excited to use mine when I saw your review and I was even more pleased to actually use it. Great review 👍🏻

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

I love ❤️ mine, right out the box 📦 👍🏾

[@michaelormond6054]

This is the best review seen by far on these batteries sprayers you went over almost everything i will be coming back to watch you again

[@spresc2180]

I watched KZbin reviews on this sprayer, both by itself and in comparison to others in generally the same price range and this sprayer came out VERY well if not on top. I bought mine yesterday at HD and have not opened the box just yet. You, like some other reviewers mentioned the awkwardness of screwing the top cover back on. A commenter of 1 reviewer said he had that cover problem also and he sprayed silicone on the tanks threads as well as the covers threads and o-ring and it made the covers placement silky smooth. I will do that when I open my box soon. You try that and see how it works. I too have felt that Ryobi has improved greatly and continues to be building some pretty good equipment . Several years ago I was using the same sprayer for both vegetation killer and weed control and liquid fertilizers and was careless in not adequately flushing glycophosphate from the tank and hose and on my next use of it as a weed killer I did some pretty good damage in one area. I beat myself up over that and I now use a VERY clearly marked dedicated sprayer for spraying vegetation killers.Everything gets rinsed after use. Excellent video by the way.

[@PapaA7145]

I would think twice before buying. I purchased 2 of them 2 years ago. The first one ran about two minutes. Ryobi customer service was useless but Home Depot allowed me to return it. The second one worked great for the season but worked about 5 minutes the second season. As a testament to their battery life I sprayed an entire season and only had to charge the battery once. I expected a longer life. Will never buy another Ryobi product.

[@HeavyChevyAZ105]

I just got one my self 2 weeks ago, been running around Arizona spraying people's weeds. I can spray a whole yard on one tank in just a few minutes!

[@illusionist1430]

The only issue that I have with my sprayer is that it does not fully spray the contents when low unless you lean the sprayer. I wished that the interior of the tank was more tapered to allow all liquid to flow towards the pump pickup.

I have had one for 2 years…pretty good. The hose developed a leak at the 2 year mark…a replacement hose assembly was 30-40. Relatively easy to replace. On off switch and dial is fine although the ‘click’ between off and on is pretty faint. Overall I have used extensively and would recommend, just try to avoid over bending the hose.

Nice review .. I bought mine almost 2 years ago without a battery & was like 100$ I have a lot of Ryobi tools so I was good on the batteries. I use mine mostly for my apps of Prodamine .. ah yes the cap.. it will eventually break in and get easier. I love mine the only issue is where the left strap joins the tank on the back always rubs my shoulder and literally will rub my skin off... But overall a very solid performer well worth the money. Not having to pump it is easier plus I believe gives you a more even application. Keep up the great videos always enjoy them.

I've had mine about a year and I have pump issues too. Mine does fine on the first four gallon fill up(I have a large lawn) but the second 4 gallon I put in it it don't want to work right until about halfway down.. It's like it's stuck on a very low PSI. I can't remember cause I haven't used it since nov but I think me changing before it ran all the way out solved that problem. But still annoying.

[@300ss5]

I called Ryobi about it last week. Especially since the 40v was on sale for $189. Ryobi told me that I would be happier with the 40v for my applications which will be as a pesticide and herbicide sprayer for my yard. On a single charge the 40v will go a MUCH longer way and the 40v is warrantied for 5 years as opposed to 3 for the 18v. It was a no brainer, I bought the 40v

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Haven’t used the 40 volt. My only issue would be the added weight. That 40 volt battery 🔋 ain’t light. I upgraded mine to the 4 amp battery from the two. But I’ll say this. Even the two amp battery 🔋 is a beast on a home lawn. I have 17,500 and it did not die at all. I also have about 4 more RYOBI 18 volt products. The stores in my area only offer the 18volt as of now also.
