Much hope turns into utter disappointment [Posted on 2006-01-24] I had bought this sprayer last spring with great hopes spurred by the very attractive description of the product, but after using it just for 2 days, it turned out to be the biggest disappointment of my gardening activities. I threw out mine in trash -- did not have the heart to sell it to any one else.
Here were the problems:
1. The pressurized chamber is very small. It becomes empty withing a few seconds of spraying.
2. To overcome the above, you have to keep moving the wheels -- what if you want to spray a rose bush -- you would be out of luck!
3. Even if you keep moving the wheels, it does not develop enough pressure and generates a rather whimpy spray.
4. The wheels do not have enough friction on grass. They slip and further reduce the effectiveness of an ineffective device.
5. The wand is angled very poorly, which makes it difficult to spray around the plant.
The concept is good, but the implementation is not so.
