Thank you for the kind words! I definitely don’t want to simply use someone else’s feedback as my own. Not to mention, this video review was super fun to shoot! 😎

Not entirely. If the electrostatic switch was turned on, it would have easily covered both sides of the objects.

Thanks for the input - that means a lot! I appreciate the subscribe as well.

I’m here because my boss bought this and thought it was a fogger machine for the mosquitoes

Agreed. It definitely does the job of applying products to a surface. Stay safe!

Unfortunately, I’m not an expert on electrostatic sprayers models and the varying uses for them. My recommendation would be to look around KZfaq and other online sources for reviews specific to electrostatic spraying for pest control.

I’m certainly no expert on electrostatic sprayers. With that said, I spoke with a colleague of mine, whom is better suited to answer this question, and he recommended the following: ESS, Dinofog, Bioplanet. Hope this info helps!

Hi Alex. Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, I do not own that Extech meter, nor do I have a need to purchase one. However, if the folks at Extech are ever looking for a third-party review, I’d be happy to put this meter through the ringer! 😎 As far as best particle sizes to look at when it comes to mold/fungi, PM2.5 and PM10 have been the ideal channels to look for anomalies within an environment that may have mold-impact. With that said, mold spores and fragments can vary in size, so one should not get fixated on one channel over another. I’ve learned from others that it’s best practice to simply look for anomalies in quantities - whether that is much higher concentrations within one area of a property or in comparing channels. In general, you should see the highest quantity of particulate within the 0.3 micron range and the least within the 10 micron range. You’ll typically see the 0.5 micron channel be slightly less than the 0.3 channel, the 1 micron slightly less than the 0.5 channel and so on. However, when you see one channel higher than the smaller channel above it, that would often be considered an outlier - prompting further inspection on your part. Hope this information helps!

Sorry wrap around is specific terminology relating to the wrap-around effect, spraying down just is more effective at covering more surfaces in a single go. Two different things.

If the electrostatic switch is turned on, they charged particles attach themselves to both sides of the object without having to spray overhead.

Bummer… Sounds like your best bet may be contacting Ryobi to inquire about repairing the unit. Hopefully it’s nothing major!

@@IAQJosh i figured it out, the nozzles where clogged even after washing them soap and water. I had to use a high powered compress to blow out the nosles to get them to work.

@@Kevinthewiseone Gotcha. Well, that’s good. Glad to hear this unit is standing the test of time.

From my understanding, yes. In fact, many electrostatic sprayers are used for applying pesticides to agriculture, because of its ability to apply thorough coverage. Disclaimer: I’m not a bug/ insect expert. 😎

For outside you can buy a ryobi fogger mister for 100 dollars this one I think is 400

Yes but use organic pesticides pls

Appreciate the input!

I did! I actually flipped the switch off and tried it a few times - just to see if the polarity was reversed for some reason.

Personally, I have not. Possibly one of the many viewers of this video out there have. What say you, KZfaq community?

I wouldn’t recommend this for lawn care. You can easily use a backpack pump sprayer with a mist or fan tip for lawn or garden applications.

I’m sorry. I’ll work harder on capturing 100% of my steps in the future.

I agree. I was waiting for that as well. And the different flow rates.

Thank you!

Fortunately, I did not encounter any issues with this unit priming. Guess I was lucky. 😎

Hi Justin. Unfortunately, I’m not a insect/pest expert, so I won’t be able to answer that question for you. However, I know that electrostatic sprayers can be used for pesticide applications. I would advise taking a look at the manufacturer information for this device. Here is the link to a page that discusses compatible products. images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/64/64852838-1075-432f-bde0-ae50562c7c75.pdf

I wondered the same! I tried the coverage and distance tests with the HVAC system on and off and saw a marginal difference.

Unfortunately, I’ve heard from other users that they’ve experienced a bit of dripping from the nozzle as well.

When you spray a liquid out of any sprayer, it’ll make things wet.

Does 2+2=4? 🤔

@@IAQJosh Looks like a dead animal attached to your chin. Why not at least try to "shape it" so it looks like a "beard" and not a dead animal?

If you wouldn’t mind, please direct me to the page that you found this information on, as I’ve read through the entire manual and do not see this direction/ recommendation published in there.

Only one way to find out! 😝

No

I hear ya, especially if that was your experience with not one, but two units. Fortunately for me, I did not have a similar experience.

I see.

It doesn’t work as advertised. I’ve tried a few. The expensive ones work

I wonder if you have a defective battery… Plenty of juice in the battery for multiple tank refills.

This sprayer is designed to apply disinfectants, pesticides, and similar liquids. This is not an electrostatic paint sprayer.

@@IAQJosh This is the third KZfaq video I've watched on this product and I have yet to see a definition of what an electrostatic sprayer is, what it's used for, and why you need it. I wish you could elaborate on this . Thanks
