Hills 5L Garden Pressure Sprayer

There is not much that can be said about a garden sprayer but this one is well made. Easy to use and to move around. It has done everything I have wanted it to do. I can't comment on longevity as I haven't had it long enough!

5 Litre Pressure Spray - Hills

Extremely pleased with the sprayer. Needed one that size to do large lawn for Onehungs weed. Good spray and pressure, easy to carry with “sacking” handle. Very clear instructions with it.

Broke immediately

I bought this, and it broke in 3 minutes the first time I ever used it, plunger disconnected from pump handle and it now won't pressurize. Would strongly recommend against buying. Can't return for exchange either because can't find receipt. Absolutely garbage. Won't buy anything else from hills.

Disappointing

I purchased this sprayer from Mitre 10 four years ago, having seen it recommended in a gardening article. Within the first year the on/off 'push-button' started randomly locking which was a real nuisance when spraying individual weeds on a paving stone driveway. Once it was on, it stayed on and wouldn't turn off. I took it back to Mitre 10 and where they 'tested' it and said there was nothing wrong with it, I wasn't using it correctly. So I persevered, and so did the issue. I don't spray very often so the unit has not had a lot of use over the past four years, but the on/off button has now given up the ghost altogether. I will be replacing it with a different brand.

Extremely poor product

I bought these prayer as I thought they were a reputable brand and was willing to pay a little more. They do not spray well and they do not last any longer than cheaper "disposable" brands. I have thrown them all out today and will not purchase this brand again.

Ok but Overpriced

I would agree with the other two reviewers to an extent. The lock button tends to have a mind of its own, but it does work. You have to be careful with it. The short wand issue is also true. I am only 156 cm so it's fine for me. But definitely someone of average ht or taller would be stopping alot. Overall, I would say this cheap plastic product is worth HALF the price it costs.

Recommended

This is ideal for bug sprays, weed killer, insecticides etc. It's simple and easy to use with good pressure and adjustable spray nozzle. The adjustable nozzle is really important when spraying fruit trees with copper/mineral oil so all of the tree can be dosed

Very poor design

Bought this pump today and put together as soon as we did the first pump the wand blew off, nothing holding it in the plastic coupler. After finding a rubber band liquid came out if the handle, and every fitting before the nozle and wasted alot of chemical. We took the bottle back to Mitre 10 and the sales person opened another to find it was faulty, then tried to put a o ring on it and still every one of them faulty. Very dissapointed, 0 out of 5.

Very short wand. Not a great sprayer.

When I first bought this 6 months ago I was very disappointed to discover that the spraying wand does not extend at all. So it is very short which makes the task of spraying lawns more back-breaking than it needs to be. I have used it a handful of times over the last 6 months and now it hardly keeps any pressure. The only reason I didn't give this 1 star is that it has a 3 year warranty, which says to me they can't all fail this quickly.

Worst sprayer ever - do not buy

I bought two of these and two for my Mum. We have both experienced the same issues:1. Handle separating from the base, so it doesn't pump anymore. No way to get this reconnected easily2. When air is pumped into the bottle, the liquid pours out of the top of the handle.This is obviously a poor design. All broke within two uses. I returned and swapped for a quality German brand and haven't looked back.These are not fit for purpose and I recommend you pay a bit more and get a better brand.
