Robert I have a customer that bought one and then bought a small luggage cart from Costco. The cart looks like ti was made for the sprayer. So far he says it works great. He was able to protect part of a library he cleaned easily on one charge. I think it was around 10k sq. ft.

Between buying the sprayer and the cart I think he was out a total of 150 bucks.

They had the same thing on sale at harbor freight.

I went down there locally and they never had them in stock so the guy ordered one for me.
Well this was at least 2 months ago............he never called.

I have a feeling it has a cheap pump and won't last very long.

Look up some reviews online like I did and people complained about wires not hooked up, taking it apart, won't work etc.

If you get one report back.

The HF in Austintown has them, RW.

$89 I believe.

never used one, but it's the same Chinese POS those morons at Rotovac tried to sell me for $200 and sump'um.. :roll:

..L.T.A.

Looks like the one I've used...just a different color.

Great sprayer.

Robert, I have 4-of them, they were cheap, they work good and hold a charge better than anything I have used. I also have 3-multi-sprayers, 2-battery and one electric. The disadvantage is -no interchange-able bottles, so it depends what your gonna do with it, its all plastic, but they have held up well.

It would seem like a good buy if it had interchangable batteries. The disadvantage would be to plug in at custys house....but thats no big deal. I think Ivan from Plus Manufacturing (Procyon) was trying to clear out his stock of these sprayers at $99.

For $89 or $99, I might give them a shot.

We've got a few, there a little weak but still a great buy. As stated, they hold a charge well, better than a other 12v unites I've used.

The only problem we have had with them is the hose from the pump to the spray wand is weak. 10-20 hours and they burst, but it's an easy fix. Maybe it's because we fill ours with 150F water.

Yeah Robert, thats where I got mine on clearance, again for the money, a great deal. However, were not using ours to prespray with our truckmounts, we use them for protection, deo etc. and also to prespray with portys. It holds a charge very well.

I was reading the user comments, does cross american make this for Hudson, sounded kinda recoilish:

"Two small annoyances: It wouldn't initially take a charge. However, I had read previous reviews stating that a battery connector had come off during shipping. This was the case here. Once connected, it works fine. The other problem was that one of the 6 screws for the base was misaligned during manufacture and I had difficult getting it removed. I could not reinstall it because the encapulated nut was not encapulated in the plastic case. But it works fine with only five securely in place...on my hand truck anyway."

I have three of them and they work great. Spray around 80-90 gallons before recharging and the pump lasts about a year. The pump is easy to switch out as well. Harbor Freight put the sprayer on sale every spring for $59 so you can't beat the price. The cart form Northern tool is cheaper at Costco $29.95 and with a bungie cord you have a great combo. The cart folds flat for easy storage.

Robert I have been using these for a couple of yrs.

Go with the Northern Tool one, buy the year warranty for under $10 and you can't go wrong.

It does get heavy after 4 gallons is poured in so a cart would be a good idea. Just haven't gotten around to finding one.

Later
