Tornado Battery-Powered Backpack Sprayer [4-Gallon]

The wand that screws into the spray handle snapped. Doesn't appear to be a high grade plastic.

This sprayer develops in many aspects of the type: More compact than my earlier 4 gallon models. Quieter, save the low buzz of the electric motor pressurizing the tank. Motor doesn't run continuously saving battery and motor wear. Initially I was puzzled as to the location of the assembly instructions, not with the fittings, not in the tank, not in the box ... What's this card? Scan the QR code or copy the web address to the complete user guide portal. The document quickly showed on my screen with the advantage of zooming in to see the photographic detail when needed. Fitting the battery cover was straightforward but the plastic tabs tended to bend and one was never quite right. The other three and the screw on end pieces saved the day. Otherwise build quality was high. The carbon fiber wand is a true game changer and it is as straight and true as I have ever used. Multiple spray heads are provided with the standard nozzle giving the right amount of coverage, delivery and application for weed control on the stone patio, the footpaths and the sidewalks edging the street. Importantly, there were no leaks or drips at all. None!

This battery powered backpack sprayer works amazingly well. I don't think we will ever go back to a manual pump sprayer. It comes with everything needed to get started. The battery charges by plugging a cord into it and takes a couple of hours to get a full charge. It also comes with a couple different spray tips, which I'm sure will come in handy. We sprayed for about 30 minutes and did not run out of battery. It really makes quick work of spraying for weeds in the yard. The only downfalls would be there were no physical instructions sent with the sprayer and the tabs for the battery door are pretty flimsy. For instructions you have to scan a QR code. I personally would like to have a physical copy on hand while assembling the product. One of the tabs used to attach the battery door folded in instead of popping over the little bar. I was not able to make it do right, but after securing the screws it seems like it will not be an issue. Just frustrating. Aside from that, we love our new backpack sprayer.

The tornado 18V Spraymate is a great addition to my goal of having a more simple and low maintenance set of tools. Anything to takes less time and less effort to use overall leaves more free time for myself. The sprayer is super easy to setup and operate. I’m up and running in a few minutes. The rubber spray handle was a nice surprise, you will not loose your grip and you don’t have to death grip it to operate. This thing puts out consistent flow of your product and the large capacity container is more than double my pump sprayer. Overall it’s an amazing product. It’s like going from my handheld blower to a backpack blower, It also comes with different tip attachments. Best thing is when I’m done yard work, I no longer have to look forward do doing a pump workout anymore. Love this thing.

I have a couple of hand held sprayers and they are good. And the Tornado 4 Gallon Battery Powered Backpack Sprayer is just an awesome upgrade, I am glad I have upgraded so let me explain*** The sprayer arrived complete, this version comes with one battery and there is another version to consider and that one has an adapter that can use both Milwaukee and Dewalt batteries. Anyway, the sprayer also comes with instructions with pictures, different nozzles and the backpack part, the battery and its charger. It was easy to put together and get it ready to work*** The 18V Lithium-ion battery gives up to 2 hours of continuous spraying and that is more than enough for me and best of all, the battery has a button and it is an indicator on the battery life, from one led to all 5 LEDs to let me know it is fully charged. The LEDs also let me know when to charge it and how much life it has left before I have to charge it*** I also like that it is easy to use, the hose is the right length and the handle is comfortable to hold, the handle can be locked for continuous spraying, best of all there is no need to manually pump*** The 3 nozzles included are great, the adjustable, the 45 degree fan and the 0 degree pin stream are useful for different uses. It sprays up to 25 feet both vertically and horizontally so it is much easier to reach without being so close and getting anything on me*** Another thing to like is how quiet it is, not only does it have plenty of power, it is quiet while doing so, I do not have to use my noise cancelling headset, but I wear them anyway***. It feels of good quality, it is solid and well made. The tank is translucent to see how much liquid is in it while it is strong to hold different types of chemicals including pesticides and disinfectants*** The sprayer can be left on its side of the tank or on top for easy to reach and easy to store away*** Overall, I like that I do not need to manually pump any longer, it is also easy to use, the Tornado 4 Gallon Sprayer is reliable, versatile and efficient for my every year projects and more***
