Mist-Pour

I purchased this to replace several units of another style. They worked well but are discontinued. They died from corroded switches caused by moisture. Those units were "open" to water and moisture but the microswitch wasn't sealed so it would gradually begin to fail to work when I pushed the lever. The batteries were easy to change and it pumped very rapidly but the pump system needed fresh batteries to work so I had to change them frequently. This unit appears "sealed" against moisture. The battery compartment has a tiny phillips headed screw that holds a cover with a rubber seal. That appears to keep the pump and switch from moisture. The unit pumps slowly but still as fast as I would manually pump a spray bottle. About one pump per second. It comes with a long tube, about 11", that you can cut to the length you need. I found that cutting it longer would let it curve along the bottom of the spray bottle towards the front on the bottle. Then, when tilting the bottle downwards, the tube would stay under the fluid and not suck air. The unit comes with batteries installed. They are not very good batteries. The pump worked very slowly and they died after a bottle or two of pumping. A good fresh set of batteries produced the full speed pumping and lasted through a half dozen bottles of pumping. I bought four and the two I've used worked well. The other two are in reserve as spares, so I don't know if they work. Only complaints: The tiny screw head on the battery compartment cover is difficult to turn for such a tiny screw. The screw is long and has a lot of threads. It is hard to tell if you have unscrewed it or if the battery cover is just sticking closed. The spray head is "spray only", unlike most hand sprayers that have spray or off or stream or off by twisting the nozzle end. The nozzle on this unit does not rotate, so don't try to force it.

I use this as a household item to dispense bath & shower cleaner, and they work just fine! I bought 4: 1 for each cleaning solution for both baths, and 2 in reserve. I was going to use all 4 for both baths: 1 for the scrubbing bubbles solution & 1 for the daily shower spray solution (in the Master Bath since that shower is glass), but the "daily" for both was sort of an overkill...besides, both showers have squeegees for post-shower water droplets removal, so... It/they come with suction straws that can be cut-to-size to fit bottles, and a the sprayer's cap is standard-sized. I immediately replaced the batteries that came with it with some regular AA batteries; the batteries that came with it were weak, as expected to be, but with new batteries, the pumps' flow action was strong with nearly an 8" spray mist coverage. If, and I say again, IF I were to say an "It would/could be better..." statement is the that the jet is only a misting spray: it does not adjust to a stream spray (so do not twist the white nose because you will break/crack the device's housing!), so it cannot be used as an insecticide sprayer for things like spraying wasp nests where a stream-spray is needed. For my showers' caulk line, I just spray directly on them, and mist-spray the walls, fixtures, and the shower curtain in the front bathroom.

It seems the power switch is the weak link. I used it for 2 minutes to make sure it worked. Then left it in my trunk for a couple months. When I tried to use it the motor did not move at all so I tried 2 other sets of batteries. Once I new the batteries were not the problem I figured something got frozen in place. So..I banged it 5 times against the table. Still not working 5 more times a little harder this time and it worked. For healthy hands this might be pointless. But I use a sprayer with about 1/2 gallon of liquid to clean my car. This worked great. Even coverage instead of a single stream. Perfect for what I wanted. If it clogs I will post an update but it has not yet using a waterless car wash solution.

A mister it is not. The spray was more concentrated towards the bottom with some spraying towards the top. This unit certainly delivers quantity. Perhaps a bit "too" much when using to spot treat clothes before laundering. It would be so much better a product if the nozzle could be rotated to produce a squirt rather than spray. THEN it would be very useful for spraying weeds in the garden. I see using this more for spraying the shower walls before scrubbing. Definitely a wrist saver. When a lot of spraying is to be done this is a godsend.

The sprayer head emits a good fine mist spray just as you would do by hand, though a bit slower when repeating. The spray head is not adjustable, only delivering a spray, not a stream. When it slows down, just replace the batteries [requires a small philips screwdriver]. It works great. How long does it last ? I don't know, everything is made of plastic. Still a worthwhile item.

Feels like it’s about to die. Really impotent

I had an exact one for years but it finally died due to neglect and leaking batteries. This one works just as well as my original. Just hold the trigger and it continuously pumps.

Don't waste your money! It was dead on delivery! The batteries that are pre-installed are too weak to draw water to the nozzle. Simple fix ... replace with fresh batteries, right? NOPE! The tiny little screw that holds the battery compartment cover was STRIPPED clean! So it looks like they sent us a returned (defective) product and charged as if it were new. My husband has every tool imaginable, and he wasn't able to get that little stripped screw out to replace the batteries. So I have a $10 piece of trash. Would give it negative stars if I could!
