Smith Performance SprayersSmith Multi-Use Backpack, 18V Li-Ion, 4 Gallon S2E, 190576

Great Sprayer no issues used several times.

I have three of these they work very well. The newest one had to prime so don't put chemicals in it until you prime it.The hose to the hand wand is stiff and leaks on the new sprayer. I ended up taking the hose off of one of my old sprayers and using it.

Have used it multiple times and have sprayed about 80 gallons. The battery has great life and I have never run out of power while spraying. I spray between 16-20 gallons at a time. The sprayer can send a stream of liquid quite a distance depending on the nozzle used which was a big help for me. I bought this sprayer because I also have 2 of their manual sprayers and they have worked fine for years.

Hi this is Kevin Sheridan. I ordered this backpack. I just opened it up. I had it as a spare and the rubber gasket is broken so it’s leaking. How can I get a basket and a strainer? Thank you.

Nearly identical to the Field King sprayer. Only difference is the hose and wand are upgraded. And price is slightly lower.

Brand new out of the box. I tried to charge the battery and both green and red lights are flashing. I needed to spray my yard this weekend and now I can’t! Upset!

I bought this sprayer a little less than a year and a half ago in the spring of 2024 and began using it on leaf cutter ants and weed control after planting abt 70 fruit trees.The batter life never lasted through 2 tanks/applications, so I always had to charge the battery in the middle of the 2nd run, and this Spring (April) the battery completely gave up.I have been using pump sprayers for this summer and now I am online (and on Amazon) trying to find a better battery to get something more from the money I have already spent on this...by spending more money.I think I used it 2x/month btw Mar 2024 and Oct 2024. So the battery lasted through 16 'spray days'... just not good enough.

First a bit of background - We have a small 3 acre ranch and orchard and use sprayers for a variety of tasks, spraying fruit trees, plants and so on. We have several sprayers, all hand pump types, both canister and backpack versions. I've found hand pump sprayers not very efficient and a pain to use, so we've been looking for a high quality battery powered portable sprayer for some time, this one caught my eye as it had all the features we were looking for, so I figured I'd give it a try.Upon opening the box, I was immediately impressed. This sprayer is what I consider "professional grade". The sturdy plastic tank holds 4 gallons, which is a decent amount without being too heavy to carry around. The backpack frame is a combination of heavy-duty plastic and steel, with nice, thickly padded straps, that fit well, and are easy to adjust. There is just over 4 feet of high-quality hose attached to a heavy-duty valve body with a stainless steel wand, which comes with a variety of tips, which we found covered all of our needs.The stand-out feature of the sprayer is the integrated 18 volt battery operated pump. In my use, it has done an excellent job of spraying. The pump is pressure activated, so when you stop spraying the pump stops pumping, which saves both pump and battery life. The sprayer came with a single 18 volt, 2.0Ah battery, which last a surprisingly long time. I've gone through 4 tanks of spray and have not yet needed to recharge the battery. The listing claims 50 gallons of battery life on a single charge, which would be fantastic. (50 gallons is over 12 full tanks of spray, as I have only done 4, I can't yet comment if 50 gallons is an achievable amount.)Our use is limited to organic sprays, water based light horticultural oils and natural pest and weed control mixtures. I found it sprayed these well. The multiple tips and "spray optimizer" allows you to tailor the spray coverage to your needs. I found the "foaming tip" useful for weed control and the wide fan tips good for spraying trees or covering a wide area.There are a lot of small features that make this a great sprayer. Such as the large filter screen attached to the outlet at the bottom of the tank. The multiple sprays tips, the spray optimizer, filler screen, heavy-duty Vitron gaskets, good spray pressure and volume, and of course, the pump, battery and charger.I have a few tips after using the sprayer: First, prior to your first use, check that the red filter screen is properly seated in the bottom of the tank. Mine was not, no doubt due to shipping, which resulted in the tank not fully emptying. Resetting the filter solved the problem. With the filter properly seated, the tank will pump almost completely dry with less than 4 ounces of liquid remaining. Priming the pump the first time took a few minutes, which may have been due to the filter not being properly seated. You definitely should read the instructions and test the unit with water prior to spraying. If the unit does not prime, try removing the filter and shaking the water filled tank with the pump running, that worked for me. (I think our unit was initially vapor-locked, shaking the tank up and down forced water into the pump resolving the issue.) Also, if you are careful, you can store the battery charger in the backpack battery compartment of the unit. It is a tight fit, however, worth the effort, as it puts everything is in one place.Bottom line: I am very pleased with this battery operated backpack sprayer. It has proven to be a huge time saver, making a necessary chore easier and faster to accomplish. The unit is well made and heavy duty, and, so far, has performed very well. It checks all of our boxes. I give it 5 stars.
