YardTender 20 2-Gallon 42 PSI Commercial Series Compression Sprayer 02YT202-1

Tank split on the bottom making it useless

Used 3 times today for weed & pesticide control. Bottom of supply hose/clamp leaks. Could not remove black bottom to tighten clamp. Supply hose is at bottom of tank. It is in the way of your leg and actually makes it more difficult to hold and manipulate hose. Shoulder strap could be better. Supply hose should be at top of tank. I have owned several tanks in the past 40 years. I am disappointed in this tank. The pressure is very nice. When trying to open top YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL TO LET PRESSURE OUT OF TANK BEFORE OPENING OR IT WILL SPRAY IN YOUR FACE. It would be nice to have a relief valve on the tank. I have owned several much cheaper tanks with relief valves. In fact it should be mandatory to have this for safety and also than you won't need to turn tank on it's side or wait until all pressure is out of hose.

I got my 2 gallon sprayer (YT20) yesterday and used it for the first time today. I'll have to admit I was underwhelmed with it's performance. "10 minutes of spraying" with one 40 pump charge is what the manufacturer claims for the 1 gallon sprayer. I expected similar for my 2 gallon one. I didn't get anywhere near that.The unit appears to be well made and has a brass wand. However, at over $80 it's average at best.I didn't like the way the parts list is presented. Instead of the usual part numbers, everything is identified as a "kit". Maybe I'm old fashioned but it caused me extra time figuring this out.Also, I didn't appreciate the requirement to mail the warranty card back. I believe the law says that proof of purchase is all that is required but since I'm not a lawyer, I sent it back. Wasn't comfortable with a couple questions so did not answer them.All in all, I get just as good service from my 20 plus year old Sears sprayer when I replace the O rings every few years. And, considering the over $80 price tag, I don't believe it's worth it. $45 to $50 would be a fair price.

My rating: 3.75 (round to 4 in amazon rating)This is a decent quality sprayer and has a good amount weight to it - definitely not for the wife or small men. I used to have a 1G roundup sprayer which worked well, but I needed something that would allow me to cover a lot more ground with less effort. The pumping tool seems pretty efficient and the adjustable spray gets down to a nice steady mist which covers a good amount of area. The strap seemed overkill at first so I removed it from the unit which was easy to do... However, after I filled the tank up, I realized the unit was much heavier and the strap would come in handy so I put it back on effortlessly. I like the automatic spray feature where you don't have to constantly apply pressure to the handle.Reason I didn't give it 5 stars:The Tank fluid labels 'US GAL Label' actually had a manufacturer error in listing the GAL Markings. Instead of listing 1/2, 1, 1.5, and 2 at each interval marking, my unit lists 2, 2, 1.5, 2 (not a typo). Not a huge deal, but somewhat annoying given the price of the unit and the simplicity in the mistake - makes you wonder about Quality Control. I didn't want to go through the hassle of a return since the turnaround time is 3-4 weeks total to ship it out and get a new one and the unit worked fine. I also wish this unit had a brass handle instead of plastic. I can see the handle breaking at some point and they are pricey online (upwards of $25 or so).

The strap is great - needed when full of liquid.The long wand, with the bend, is very nice for spraying under a house on pier and beam.It puts out a MUCH nicer, and stronger, spray than the pumps that come built in to the 1.33 gallon roach spray bottles.We clean this baby very well and hang it upside down to dry - take care of it, and it will take care of you. :)

This is a quality item. Right out of the box you can tell that this sprayer is built very well and built to last. I used it the first time this morning, and the spray pattern is very even. I didn't have to re-pump the sprayer at all for my whole front yard. After going through three cheaper sprayers, I wish I'd spent the extra cash on this one in the first place! It's definitely worth every penny.

This sprayer is awesome. I decided to get this sprayer after the multiple disappointments with big box store sprayers. This one hold pressure as advertised for quite some time after pumping. The spray wand is top notch as is the brass nozzle. Even the hose is nice and thick and not prone to kinking. The handle and body are tough plastic. I just may have to buy another.

Real profesional grade. I have had this for two seasons and have been very happy. You do not see this quality in the big box stores.
