I've grown tired of the HF.


Not having to deal with your hose prior to scrubbing is #1.

I just hate starting the van to prespray when I also need to scrub but can't count on the battery sprayer. And the hydroforce puts it down fast and heavy on the nasty ones.

Mine is still alive and strong. I used it just the other day in that Alzheimer's assisted living facility I cleaned. There was one particular room where one of the tenants liked to drop trouser and water the floor. I was warned about it by three of the staff members about this particular room and the smell. I used the sprayer to post spray some counteractant. Saved the day. Called this morning to check with the staff. They said it smells great. The sprayer came in very handy.

Don't carry. Use the hose, set it down and douche it all out.

Btw, other than solvents I have been using mine for every dadgum product. I rinse after every job. Make sure to put a drop of oil on the wand O-rings periodically.

Don't hesitate to put a drop of Goop in the damty trigger safety button, you will love life again.

We only use HF on big jobs. The metering is not always consistent. It's nice to have for that but for most residential we use battery Multi Sprayer.

Jordan, the IPS puts out a more even spray and is my choice for upholstery.
It also puts out plenty of any product and the 30' hose gets you anywhere at all. The weight is at the back, the bent tip lets you spray downwards (or upwards) with no effort and it is a sweet, quiet sprayer with a battery that goes forever on a charge.
But; You have to assemble it each time and my batteries died prematurely. I think that issue is being addressed.

The WORX is a grab n go monster. You can switch "tips" instantly and it puts out product like a fire hose. The batteries will get you through a work day and tell you how much charge is left.
But: It is nose heavy, and to spray downwards evenly you have to hold the whole thing up ghetto style and aim it down. Awkward. The hose is only 20' so you keep yanking it out of the container. Neither issue will prevent you from being productive!

You won't go wrong with either one.

We looked at both the IPS & the WORX sprayers.

WORX has superior lithium battery for longer spray time , less weight and longer life.

Good durability & requires rinsing, but that is fairly quick.

Inlet hose & seals can be improved.

WORX is our choice.
