Great review, I love how you went through all the pieces that are in the box and then again went you went thru them on the table. Great use of time.

Awesome!!! Thanks for the video!!! I actually managed to pick one up last weekend. And used it to spray weeds. When the trigger was not pulled liquid would still leak out of the end of the wand. I called Ryobi and they are sending me a new wand set up. The customer service was very easy to work with. Thanks for the video again!!! I think this will be very helpful for others as well.

Great review. 4 gallons was more than I needed, so I opted for the 2 gallon version. Does a great job.

Wow, lot's of flow and quite the power as well. Ryobi for the Win!! And to think I was going to purchase the Milwaukee version.

Great review! Thank you.

Thanks for the review you answered all of my questions.

Review well done! Worth to watch!!!

Brilliant review thanks ,room for improvement with the sprayer .

Would have liked to see a spray distance test with the pin stream tip for roof line and high window treatments.

I have used this sprayer for meth lab remediation. I didn’t bother to look if these products are safe to use with this sprayer, but I make sure to thoroughly rinse after each use. I ran simple green, trisodium phosphate as well as mineral spirits through this sprayer with great success. Necessary tool for me to get meth contamination levels to non detectable.

Thanks for the honest review. I’m a little disappointed in the fact that it’s a plastic wand. Was really hoping for stainless steal on that thing. Another thing that would have been nice would be a pressure adjust dial on the wand like a lot of the pro models that have a constant flow. However, with that being said, I’m probably still going to buy it next year when I switch from granule to liquid based pre emergents. You should check out the pamphlet that comes with the new batteries and probably that sprayer. The one that has the different tools listed. You can get a sneak peek at the ones coming out. I saw a bug light and a power window vacuum! I don’t remember the PXXX but you can probably find it in that insert with the manual.

I hope it does what you said. I purchased a 1 gallon Ryobi 18V sprayer. It has a 3 year warranty. It quit working in about 2 years. I took it to an authorized Ryobi service center. They first said 'we can't get parts from a company named Gardner MFG). Then they told me They needed the receipt from Home Depot. I found where I registered it but that wasn't good enough. I just waisted $ 70.00+ dollars.

Super well explained!!

Thanks, great review.

Great review I am going to star fallowing you or subscribe and I actually bought one today after watching this video

Me too - "Would have liked to see a spray distance test with the pin stream tip for roof line and high window treatments." as Frank C asked.

The Ryobi 4 gallong sprayer was junk for me. I used it twice and then started having issues with the motor. I also didn't like the quality of the wand. I felt like it was getting developing a slight curve to it for the short time that I had it when it was secured to the holders on the side of the frame. Also, the plastic of the handle and wand made me question the longevity of it. The worst part was having so much liquid left in the container at the end of my spraying. I love all of my other Ryobi stuff but I returned the dud to HD. I'm upgrading to a flowzone for spraying my yard.

Good demo on the sprayer, I had one of the 1 gal sprayer, well, let me say I had four of them and none of them lasted more than a couple of month, so I'm not sure it's going into my Ryobi collection, but I'm not saying "NO" right now.

Just bought one , really need it for the weeds out in my property. Hope it last long time (-:

just ordered this.. pretty sure i can just take the wand off my field king pump sprayer and use it when this one dies.also, since i already have a ryobi one kit i have 2 other batteries!! awesome. plus the fan blade is for spraying weeds in your yard. how do you regulate the pressure on this system?

Thank you. The flat nozzle seems it would be good for weed killer. Open the new Ryobi out of the box. We were getting anxious about using it. Once hooked up there was a problem because it was leaking from underneath the battery. Steady heavy drops. Fortunately we were just trying water. I can’t imagine having some chemical leaking all over your backside. So, we will be taking back to Home Depot to return it and try another one hoping for better luck.

Thanks for the review, well done. What microphone are you using?

can we use P2800A wand and nozzle parts that are metal on this sprayer?

I have two for commercial use and love them

Great demonstration but was hoping to see how far it sprayed. Need it to spray my fruit trees some which are 15 to 20 ft high. The wall was about four feet away from where you were standing so the distance capability wasn't very apparent.

Thanks for the great review. Can this spray oil based chemicals or light cream chemicals? Does it have the power to spray or dispense something like that or only waterie substances?

You can use the remaining liquid by placing a small container in the bottom of the pack and insetting the pickup tube into it. I’ve done that with other backpack sprayers with a pickup tub and it works fine, provided the seal on the hose is good where it connects to the pump. It may be possible to zip tie the pick up hose as well. Nice review though. I’ve never seen anyone put a pack on the way you did, lol. I just grab them over one shoulder and reach, lol.

What is the difference between this and to the 2860 model? Both are 4 gal but can't figure out which to buy

I own a pest control company and last year I added mosquito treatment. While I waited for my gas powered sprayer/mister to be delivered I went to home depot and purchased this sprayer to use for mosquito control. It worked great, did the job but even on the lowest setting (output) it let out too much chemical. I eventually changed the wand and the tip. I now use this as a backup to my gas powered sprayer/mister. It's good for homeowners and light duty. For the price, well worth it!

Ryobi did fix the pick-up tube issue by making it more rigid and formed to face down into bottom of the tank. I just bought one but will be returning it to HD. The flat fan nozzle is way too misty for insecticide/fungicide unless someone can suggest an aftermarket fix. Thanks for the review.

I got one and for some reason i can hear the pump even if im not spraying and it doesn't even spray

I have the same sprayer for pest control... I've only used it 3 times. It worked fine until recently When I turn the unit on now it immediately starts spraying. I've spent hours trying to troubleshoot it and come up short. Please help if you have any suggestions. TY

Have this backpack use it for pest control (i know it's no for commercial use) however its reasonable price had it for about a year now no issues until now my motor keeps making sounds like if it's trying to suck in the water and or something is stuck inside I cleaned it out took the wand and everything apart nothing was clogged not sure what the problem could be other than I over worked the motor. Can anyone help in what maybe it can be if anyone has had this issue?

My only pet peeve with this sprayer is the pickup, does not empty completely! Plan on modifying it.

Folks I’ve tried this unit 2 times in order to give it the benefit of doubts. Why is that? Because after about 3 weeks of use on both machines that I have tried the unit quits to work. I loved how it worked in the beginning I was very careful with the care but the pump still gave out. I’m going to try it one more time and let’s see what happens.

How do you replace the hose

If you think that is heavy try carrying 5 gallon can on your back firefighting uphill.

How is the lid holder for the wand like shown on the box?

I use soap with my insecticide to make it stick better. I wonder if that would clog this system

just picked up 2 of these for 10$ each at HD on clearance, how can you tune down the spray volume?

Do you think you can you use a deck wood stain with this?

So I can use 6 ah in this item ?

Awesome! How can I get one in Nigeria? And cost?

Is this electrostatic?

Maybe be sure the wand is not attached for storage when you put it on? Just saying....

would you recommend using a weed control with this?

There is no adjustment for power. It is all or nothing. So the danger of over spraying and killing wanted plants is imminent. After a short while the hose started to blow up like a sausage in the microwave and eventually it burst creating a corrosive mess all over the inside of my van. Other than that it works great. LOL Most Ryobi tool are decent, but anything dealing with water is a no-go; backpack sprayer, hand held sprayer, pump all way too flawed.

Can you use weed control chemicals.

High pressure NOT good in wind. Too much mist to drift. Otherwise like it

Can I get this in the United States

There is no this product sell on Amazon.

The psi is too darn low! I need 150 psi for what I have in mind. UGH!!!

Wish he would've tested it on bushes. Mosquitoes.

I work as a pest control Tech and I've used several different backpacks from the pump version as well as the battery operated one. This comes off very cheap. The battery door would certainly be broke within a week working with my guys. Its placement is horrible, very bad design. Also the trigger mechanism should look like a power washer style handle. Its a cheap $10 pump sprayer like handle. Just like those real cheap pump sprayers you buy from Lowe's and Home Depot. there's no way I'd waste my money on this and I am Ryobi guy. I have a bunch of their tools

Flathead causes my pump to malfunction.

I guess they took it off the website your link took me to Amazon and then I search for a Ryobi backpack from there and it does not come up. I don't know who the designer was for this backpack but they need to be fired. Lol

a 4 years ago and STILL have same sht design on electric and hand pump sprayers. One company could bankrupt competitors with RELIABLE , QUALITY equipment. You DON'T get what you pay for. Highest priced are P O S also.

had FF threw this a bit to long....
