I had every single question about this backpack sprayer I could come up with answered in this video. I appreciate such a thorough review! I feel like I can confidently buy this now. Thanks!
It’s cool. I just had my first issue with it but it’s been cool. I like it, definitely not love because it can for sure be better but…it’s cool. Definitely gets the job done.
Yes, you are correct! I was spraying a mixed of some things which will knock out any of the critters or bugs that might want to take up residence in the cracks.
I had mine for a year(maybe a dozen uses) and it will no longer pressurize. I was using using oxalic acid as directed 1 cup per 1 gallon to remove rust spots off my driveway and sidewalk. Nothing crazy. Took it apart and looked at the motor. It's nothing more than a $20 water pressure diaphragm pump that you can get off Amazon with 2 wires going to a switch board that controls the on and off switch. Other than that, you're paying roughly $180(price without battery) for a plastic wand, tank and some padded straps. This got me thinking though you can get the self priming diaphragm pump off Amazon for $20, a METAL spraying wand for $17 and a 12v rechargeable battery for $17. Build the mechanical bits for $55ish and attach it to water tank/bag you want. But at that price there is offbrand rechargeable sprayers that come in 1-1.5 gallons. The main benefit of building your own is you could make it interchangeable. Say make a bag that holds a 2.5 camping jug, and you have a couple of those with your pesticide/herbicide premixed, and all you would do is swap the jugs out as you use them up. The little diaphragm pump has a intake tube so you'd just pull it out your tank/clip the other tank on and drop the tube back in and continue.... also in hindsight that 4 gallon bag is not light at all when full and it takes up garage space. But I turly believe with some time and boredom you could craft something that works better for you @ a cheaper price and that aside, I'd definitely go with a different brand if you are buying cause regardless it lasted only 1 year.
It’s been cool. I just had my first issue with it about two weeks ago with some leaking. It’s not perfect and definitely could be better but I still do like it a lot. It still gets the jobs done with ease on a regular basis for the most part.
Thanks for the comment! Yup! I actually started with the 40 volt mower. Worked with that one for a few weeks and realized I needed a bit more more power. The two 4 amp hour batteries that came with that mower have helped me expand that battery line as well because that’s what my pole saw and a few blowers are in(40v).
Greenworks NEEDS to hire you to market and promote ALL their products!
That’s love man! I appreciate that comment so much.

8 mos later how is the backpack sprayer holding up and is it rated to spray bleach or chlorine products? Nice video

So wait: you're invested in both 60V Greenworks and 40V Greenworks?
Thanks for the comment!
