Milwaukee Two gallon handheld sprayer - quick review

[GON]

Hasty review on a Milwaukee 12v two gallon handheld sprayer.

BLUF- outstanding tool for any homeowner that has a lot of tasks to do, makes fast, exact work out of a usually time consuming jobs.

For the past year, I have put off buying a 18v Milwaukee sprayer. Simply because of cost, over $400 USD out the door. Last Saturday, having another retail insect control battery operated sprayer fail operationally, yet full- I decided to compromise.

For $179 USD, the 12v two-gallon sprayer can be had at Home Depot. To seconds to assemble, yes just a few seconds.

Put the insect control spray in the unit and set the unit to two (has three settings). Learned right away how powerful the sprayer was, had to lower the setting to one.

I was able to spray a quarter of the house, ground, around windows and doors, and soffits in under five minutes. So easy, I couldn't believe I waited so long to buy an electric sprayer.

A task that used to take 30 minutes took just five easy minutes

This 12v version easily gets the job done around a home. Insect spray, weed killer, fertilizer, I am sure this gets er done and is well worth the money.

You should replace Bug Barrier with Demand CS.

WHAT? you mean you don't have to pump it? What a great idea!

I've thought a few times about replacing my hand pump style backpack sprayer with one of these. But I keep thinking, simple is better.

I use a backpack sprayer a lot on my property. I have bought two manual sprayers and both were cheap ones that have lasted quite a while. Once you use one you will never go back.

I may look into a battery powered one. Seems even easier.

Having used hand pump backpack sprayer for many years, no comparison whatsoever to the Milwaukee electric sprayer.

Milwaukee sprayer outperforms the hand pump backpack sprayer by a mile.

This is my backpack sprayer, I doubt I will ever use it again.
