![]() I guess if you are spraying fruit trees, a ton of roses, or something like that the higher pressure might help. Anything much more than that and you start to get misting with most tips. I see a lot of talk about variable pressure sprayers, but for a lawn you will be spraying at a single pressure of 30-40 PSI. In summary, I might give a slight edge to the Sprayers Plus, but not huge. My biggest complaint about the 105Ex is that it is impossible to fully drain it by turning it upside down. The 105Ex sprays at a higher pressure which is nice, though it isn't a game changing difference. You do need to tighten the hose clamps on the Chapin as they can be loose from the factory. The straps don't bother me despite some complaints and they have never come unclipped. It takes standard Black and Decker batteries so they are easy to find and inexpensive. The Chapin has never given me problems (though some people have had issues) and I am on my third battery for the sprayer. I would say between the two it is a toss up. If it is in the budget, I would strongly suggest the same if you buy either sprayer. I tossed the provided tips and use TeeJet nozzles. I replaced the wand on both with a DFW wand which is significantly better then the stock wands. I spray growth regulator, Ammonium Sulfate, herbicides, Kelp, Humates, and probably some other stuff I am forgetting. I spray about every 1-2 weeks, so a lot for a homeowner. I have a chapin 20V and a sprayers plus 105Ex. BTW Sprayer Plus has a pretty awesome looking 4 gallon too. I havent tried the other brands mentioned so maybe they are as good or even better. Ive never seen that before even if I cleaned it right before a big application sometimes within 30 mins the tip is spraying funny and within 5 minutes it needs a clean. but still it's never ever clogged once or partially 1 clogged yet after an entire season of heavy use. ![]() Of course now I've learned which products need warm water and/orĪ quick pass through a cheese cloth, which I didnt know with my first Chapin and home Depot sprayers. My favorite Chapin is the poly Premier and then Y25E feels like that same massive level of quality difference all over again. Just saying the Y25E is a similar jump from the chapins to when I first jumped up from home Depots 2 gallon to my first Chapin 2 gallon. ![]() The 2 gallon doesn't need refilling terribly often, in fact I'm often not even filling it to capacity. A high quality 2 gallon has benefits over the 4 gallon in terms of pleasure to use (for me)īut I rarely spray every section of my entire yard in one shot. ![]() I have about 5k sq ft maybe a touch more and it's fine. I've had several Chapins and the 2 gallon Poly Premier was my favorite, but it's absolutely nothing compared to the Sprayers Plus my wife got me last season (yep my wife got me a lawn care product, she is convinced I've increased our homes value by having a lawn that shows we care about the home) The fit and finish seem on par with a good prototype instead of a finished product. None of these issues have impacted the operation of the sprayer at all. The plastic material they use to cover the battery and pump seems cheap, and the lid for the tank also seems kind of cheap. The quality of the fit and finish are below what I would expect from a sprayer with this price tag. But I don't feel the need to do that immediately.Ģ. I'll probably upgrade the spray nozzles to teejet at some point. You can dial the pressure up or down, or you can just set it to be on all the way. It's my first battery power sprayer, and it works as good as I can imagine any of them work. Quality of fit and finish (not so great).ġ. I think any review of the my4sons should include at least these two sections. Click to expand.I bought the My4sons sprayer at the end of last season, so it doesn't have a lot of gallons through it yet. ![]()
