Which Battery Powered Multisprayer

[Bryce C]

Have some of you used both types of battery powered multisprayers? There is the classic one which has a large 12 volt battery inside it and its own charging device, so you just plug it into a 120 volt outlet overnight. It is quite heavy though, but self contained. Then there is the newer model which takes power tool style battery packs which clip onto the unit. It is much lighter, but they have less of a charge so you probably need to carry several battery packs with you. However the multisprayer can stay on the truck and one only needs to bring the small battery packs in each night to charge them. For those that use them, which multisprayer have you found is the most practical overall? I have a classic model with the large internal battery, been using it for about 18 months and it hasn't skipped a beat. I purge it with clean water and charge it every day.

Don’t get the ryobi. 40psi isn’t enough. It seems like it’s peeing on the surface you’re trying to treat

I only use an electric sprayer for upholstery cleaning. Im not happy with the cheap plastic crap that is on the market. So i made my own. First i started with a longgray 1.5 gallon pump up sprayer( they come in 1to 3 gallon sizes) . I used longray because of solid stainless construction (including the pump).and has a Schrader valve and a industrial pressure relief valve already installed . Then i wanted a professional gun with a long hose and a flat spray pattern ( not the crappy wands with short hoses found on most off the shelf)so i robbed a 10' ⅛"hose off an older hydraforce pump up and added a quick connect and a spraying systems teejet gun. For power i used a $48 rechargeable compact air compressor from Costco to hold the compressor security on the sprayer i bought a paint ball co2 tank holder off an patriot sprayer. I got a lay flat usb c charging cable so i could leave the compressor in the holder and with that i have a great sprayer it's been in use for 5 years trouble free so far. And should something happen to the compressor i can still use the hand pump as a backup.If you want a truly great off the shelf sprayer that maintains constant pressure and you don't mind spending 400.00 + and you have a paintball co2 refill store close. I would recommend looking in the patriot sprayers. They are used extensively by concrete dyeing companies because of there stout build and ability to apply a spray consistent and even. p.s. i also add a kleanrite inline quick connect filter for extremely easy cleaning and to keep the teejet from clogging.

A CO2 tank and keg with a 100ft hose and I can get just about anywhere. Also, have a specific wheeled cart for them if I can't reach it from the van. Only really need to take it out on commercial jobs or if I'm doing yachts

I have the Omni battery sprayer.. Old and big for what it is, but I did adapt a M18 Milwaukee battery to it.. It's a 12v pump and I run 18volts to it.. Spins it faster and puts out more prespray..

Had a battery multi-sprayer and was great until someone stole it.. Just is smaller 2gallons vs the Omni of 2.5gallons..

Bottom line is, get a battery sprayer that you can see how much charge you have left.. I hated getting to a job only to find out it was dead, when the battery goes.. You don't notice SLA batteries losing it's charge until its too late.. Ability of switching it out is great..

With battery sprayers, you should be able to get a days work in with it.. You aren't spraying more than 10mins/job.. A Sealed Lead Acid battery will normally last 60mins of run time..

For upholstery, I like to use the Champin hand pump up sprayer.. Not a fan of over wetting upholstery, less is better most times..

My Omni has a 01 tip and it still puts out too much..

I'm burned out on hand pumping sprayers. I agree with some of them spraying too much though. I hope this 1flow 40degree angle does a good job.

I have the corded multi-spray and use it mostly for upholstery. I finally broke down and bought a WORX sprayer. 20 volt. I adapted a 2.5 gallon jug for it. Mainly for spraying stairs in low-rise buildings when using the Oreck but I have been experimenting with it for truck mount jobs. I put an 8004 jet on it and the 2.5 gallon jug will last for an average 3 bedroom, hall, stairs, living room type job. It's very fast and I like it so far. It does atomizer more product in the air however, you may contemplate wearing some type of mask when spraying.

Epic feedback, thanks guys. Dwain-o, if I was an artist I'd draw you as some kind of auto/carpet-mechanical superhero. You are not messing around, and yet you are, I love it.

Funny that I ask about a new line of cleaning chemistry and no one gives a hoot. I ask about cleaning gear and everyone gets excited. I see what makes us tick. I admit if it wasn't for sweet cleaning gear this work wouldn't be very fun...

Im the kinda guy that belives that just because someone doesn't make something, doesn't mean i don't need/want/ or have to have it

 

[Bryce C]

I was debating whether or not to buy another multisprayer, I think I'll hold off and consider all these other options

That's because most every line of cleaning products work great these days.

Probably because they're all the same for the most part, niche products being the exceptions

Tools vary wildly because most are made by non cleaners working on theory or advice from the 97%r's

I hear you Mike, but! Do you follow the rug cleaning Facebook groups like "The Rug Room"? RCI products are brought up from different people on that group almost daily lately. Seems like there is something about the RCI products making quite the splash, at least in the rug world

 

[Nate The Great]

Bumbai you learn young grasshopper.. What was the flavor before?

Let's just say: Follow the money and you'll see who sings the highest praise..

No I don't follow the various rug groups, but am aware of who the players and leaders are.

I'm positive that RCI products work great, and since you're close to Jim and get lots of support from him, I would highly encourage you to use that product line.

I believe you about good cleaning products being mostly the same these days. Without knowing much, part of me just hopes for some revolutionary cleaning solutions when I see a lot of chatter about a new line of cleaning products. But, that's how they get you I suppose! I'm usually unhappy with the results when I clean wool rugs that are heavily trafficked.

I've been using the WORX Sprayer for many years with the VLM Method. It does get more product up in the air that travels to adjacent rooms that can be a problem

WORX puts out more product so you can use a smaller jet

I rarely use 8004. You don't need a 8004 unless you move very fast. Only time I use 8004 is for HUGE rooms so I can move faster or sometimes on TRASHED carpet. It's way too big for steps. Your wetting the carpet too much

I use 8002 the most. 8002 for average size rooms doing one room at a time. You do need to move slow. I prefer to move slow and get less product up into the air especially in occupied homes.

8003 is for heavier soil or big rooms

Of course what encap your using also matters. Some encaps have more odor or bother people more than others

The 8004 does put out an amazing amount quickly. I just move fast. Takes just a few seconds to spray a flight of stairs from 3-2 or 2-1 compared to the Scott sprayer I was using. I find the 8004 atomizes less than the 8002 so you don't have as much in the air. I normally use my Hydro-force when doing hwe but am finding the WORX is even faster.
