Miracle-Gro 190518 Battery Powered 48 oz. Handheld Sprayer

This bottle is exactly what I was looking for. An automatic sprayer to spray whatever I put in it. We have hornets that like to build nests on our back porch where my kids play. I actually used it to mix up my own bee repellent/killer. Water with peppermint oil, lemongrass oil, and a couple squirts of blue Dawn dish soap. I use the stream rather than the spray function of this spray bottle and it works like a charm. I can spray bees from far away to kill them. The Dawn clogs their exoskeleton so they can’t breathe or fly. Then I use the spray function to spray all around the porch are to repel them away. This bottle is very handy! Has even sat out overnight in the rain and still works. Thick plastic and does not feel cheap at all. I feel like I got my moneys worth!

Love this sprayer

I loved this littlle sprayer until I used it twice and it quit working. Only using water to spray orchid roots. I changed the batteries thinking it just had bad batteries, but it still does not work. It was the perfect size for what I needed and the price was great, except it only worked two times for short periods.

So happy to find this sprayer. No lugging around the big sprayer that never works. Easy to walk around and get those weeds popping up in sidewalk and around the yard

Doesn't work well at all. I bought this after watching a gardening video and the girl said that it was great. I was very disappointed and don't use it at all. It just sputters and it is a constant fight to get it to work, so gave up on it and went back to my manual spray bottle for my seedlings

I got this to use with my daily shower cleaner. The cleaning liquid is a clear, mild solution that I use to prevent mold and soap scum from building up. It's nice to have a battery operated sprayer that saves a lot of time when you're exiting the shower. This sprayer holds a lot of liquid and has an adjustable nozzle to make the spray pattern a stream or a wider spray. So here are the problems: first, like another reviewer mentioned, this sprayer struggles when the liquid level in the bottle drops below half. The reason for this (at least on mine) is that the semi-rigid dip tube that submerges into the liquid in the bottle has a bend in it so that the tip/end of it points in the opposite direction (backwards) of the nozzle. So when you tilt the nozzle slightly downwards towards whatever you are spraying (plants, shower edges, etc.) the end of the dip tube inside the bottle rises above the surface of the liquid, so it's just sucking air. The tube should bend towards the FRONT of the bottle/nozzle so that it's always submerged, even when the bottle is tilted forward. I'm trying to correct this on mine, but I don't want to damage the connection between the dip tube and the pump itself. The tube just disappears into the pump housing so I don't want to twist it. I plan to cut the tube, add a coupling and extend it with very flexible tube that will stay submerged in the liquid. Second, there is a design failure regarding replacement air. As you spray, obviously the liquid level inside the bottle drops, thereby creating a vacuum. Usually a vent/check-valve is provided on (most) spray bottles to accommodate the vacuum and allow replacement air into the bottle to prevent the bottle from collapsing onto itself. No working vent was designed into this bottle. You can loosen the nozzle between sprays and hear it suck in replacement air. If left unreleased, this kind of vacuum can presumably, unnecessarily tax the pump and possibly damage it. So to fix this, I drilled a small hole in the top side/edge of the bottle. Of course this will allow some liquid to spill out if you have the bottle completely full to the very top, but if you leave some "head space" in the neck of the bottle, it's not an issue. This hole relieves the vacuum and allows replacement air into the bottle as you spray the liquid. Other than those issues, it's a good spray bottle. Large capacity and hopefully the pump survives daily use. I would NOT use this with a corrosive liquid (like bleach) or any type of thick liquid like some shower cleaners with abrasives combined into the liquid.

Very comfortable to use. Regular spray bottles require constant pumping which made my hand sore. This is one long squeeze to spray. I use it for organic weed killer.

Okay, this is for the novices out there since you who have treared gardens of any appreciable size already know what followsI can imagine sny number pf people thinking this is an unnecessary froofra. After all, how hard can squeezing a spray handle be, that you need a battery-operated thingee to replace it?But if you have a garden plot of any size greater than a glorified windowbox, or you have arthritis, or if you are just "of a certain age" you KNOW how hard!And with this, you don't need to!And, if you might have to refill it a couple of more times (because the container IS a wee bit small) the exercise is good for you!
