Customer Reviews for HDX 1 Gallon Multi-Purpose Lawn and Garden Pump Sprayer

I bought this pump to spray my yard from bugs and only last 4 days… I have a 4 gallons backpack sprayer and need it an extra pump so I bought this 1 gallon sprayer. Left some bug and insect killer in to have it ready for next day, applied some presurre on that pump handle and felt that air was not going in… pulled handle out and one of the seal looks detached from the pump. Check my pictures.

I use this around the house to spray miracle grow fertilizer, it lasted three weeks before the handle broke. I paid cash and didn't save my receipt like a dummy. But let me save you the headache spend a little more and get something quality stay away from HDX Brand!

I first loved the sprayer, but after using it for a week, black powder that came from the pump is inside stuck the spray bottle. I have used bleach and soap, hot water, and it won’t clean it out! I have to actually Use some sort of scrubber a toothbrush maybe?? to scrub it off, but the black containment is coming from the pump! I’m upset because I spray my cactus and my flowers and have lost flowers and cactus because of this containment which I did not discover right away even buying plants from Home Depot and I can even exchange them. They don’t have those plants right now. They’re out of season! But I’m upset with the fact that this pump is spitting out black. It’s contaminating and it’s killed my flowers. And wasted my time trying to clean this otherwise the sprayer works marvelous it sprays my flowers and plants beautifully but this black stuff is killing my flowers!

I needed a replacement for my other sprayer that finally got old. This is just fine and I use it a lot for little touch-ups in my yard and garden.

I needed another sprayer that was a little bigger - but not too big. This one is just right and holds the amounts I need. I don't have to keep refilling too often, and it isn't too heavy when it's full.

I like the design. The wand secures well and the pressure relief feature is very helpful. I hope it lasts a while. I have the one gallon and the two. It meets my expectations I have had the gallon 2 months and use it daily to mist and water my indoor plants. It’s much easier than a hand sprayer or watering can for me.

I opened this just before cleaning my deck post-refinish, and it was missing the wand. Ended up using the hose stream adjuster instead, but basically just poured out. Product was not as advertised. Makes it practically useless.

returned same day. do not buy this sprayer, if you need to actually spray and not stream. the adjuatable spray nozzle is junk. the pump handle is junk. do yourself a favor and buy the scotts brand, way better for $25.

Easy, smooth and efficient. The sprayer was easy to use. Loading it up was a breeze, using the right mix. A few test sprays here and there and ready to go. It was smooth operation and easy control and a good spray reach. Good compact size and good tight seals.

Ordered online now I have to return. Staff don’t quality check anything

Purchased 9 months ago for residential weed spraying. Today, the compressor handle broke while trying to unscrew it to refill the sprayer. The compressor handle is made of semi-thin plastic which can easily binds to the container, preventing easy unscrewing and refilling. This can occur due to normal storage use in places like garages where heat temperatures can exceed temperature norms. Product was used less than a handful of times, and I will repurchase a different brand.

Great addition to my Ryobi collection of electric tools. Lightweight and sprays a very fine mist.

1) Sturdiness of the pump and tank is just fine. 2) Take note of the photos, manufacturing Quality Assurance does not pat attention to their finished product. Inside the tank were very rigid curls of plastic at the bottom of the wand stem entry point from when the machinery drilled out the hole. I had to take a drill bit to drill this out otherwise the wand stem would have never been able to be installed. Photos taken looking into tank from the top opening. 3) The wand and hose is absolutely junk. The wand flexes too much and the hose is so flimsy that it kinks and folds in upon itself. Returned and went back to my old faithful sprayer of 12 years. Nothing is made like it used to be with quality in mind, yet want to charge more for the product.

The pressure valve has two positions: quick release and slow release. There is no way to close the pressure valve. The handle is also garbage. It’s not a full cylinder, it’s a 2/3 cylinder cup open on the top where the user needs to press down. Because of this design, the handle is flimsy, twists when pumping to pressurize the constantly leaking tank, and it cuts into the palm of the user’s hand.

bought one year ago. used it today and the pressure reli t knob just fell off. I now have to use players to pull the pressure relief

Very good pump ive had many different brands of pumps, this only requires a few pumps and you’re ready to go. Have a fantastic spray id buy it again and being its 2 gallon it sure is compact highly recommend the 2 gallon over the one gallon

works awesome. has different spray patterns.

I bought it in person at a local store, but had to go back to the store to get the main gasket replaced. The main blue gasket wasn't properly made, leading to it leaking. See attached photo. Customer support was good. Why don't they make these things WITHOUT the stupid hand pump? Don't people have battery-powered inflators? I of course added a Schrader valve to mine. I would think they can make it cheaper (and/or with better quality for the same price) if they skipped the hand pump.

Great little sprayer. In the long-run it saves money by buying the "refill" or by mixing a concentrate rather than buying the "premixed combination of sprayer and solution". I liked the ability to attach the sprayer hose to the side of the tank (via the handle) or to the top of the handle. In addition, there is a separate "pressure relief" valve allowing you to release the internal pressure without having to unscrew the entire handle, preventing the pressurized solution to spray into your face. On a precautionary note; do not make the mistake I did by filling the tank beyond the "maximum fill line". When you insert the plunger back into the tank the solution that is beyond the "maximum fill line" will prevent the "pressure relief" valve from operate properly, (i.e. releasing liquid out instead of air). The "maximum fill line" on the tank is hard to read (& see) as it is not highlighted or clearly marked on the tank but is the same color as the encasing material. I took a Sharpie Marker to highlight the "maximum fill line" for future reference.

Worked as expected. Easy assembly. Hose connected really easy and spray was evenly distributed.

I mixed water and vinegar. First use was great. I went to use it a week later and the seal on the bottom of the pumping mechanism was distorted and does not seal making the sprayer useless.

Right out of the box there was a weak spot, a bad kink in the hose right at the top, just before it attaches to the nozzle. The zip tie holding it together for packaging was there. I can pinch it back but it flattens right back. I don’t want to keep it like this.

This broke my first use. Thought I was going to break it to get it to seal. Then pump pump boom.

Leaked like a siv, i even tried using pipe thread tape & it still leaked bad through screw on threads. Got pesticide everywhere. Total junk. Buy another brand that has some type of rubber gasket at top to seal it properly.

I bought it last month. I used it once to spray the garage. I decided to spray again and cap snapped. I’m truly disappointed. I hope I can have it replaced.

I love this thing. Easily one of my favorite tools as a house cleaner who gets the honors of doing the restrooms ☠️ This allows for 100% application of my choice cleaner for any given task, and with toilets and the endless crevices, that is a critical task when disinfecting easily the dirtiest thing in our homes 💩💩💩 My only critique is for a better quality components aside from the tank itself, as the plastic bends easy and has broken in the past, but at it's price point this is to be expected and I have noticed better quality plastic with my most recent purchase; no star deduction because HD always replaces within the specified time period and again, it's the least expensive option for it's size.Note: Make sure to frequently clear the nozzle and hose with hot water to prevent buildup of cleaner product in the hose and/or nozzle, also don't let solutions sit for longer than 48 hours as this can cause gas buildup that could end badly ☠️☠️☠️🙏🏼🤞🏼

I had a larger 2 gallon sprayer and the adjustable nozzle had broke, so I went to get a replacement which was going to cost me a couple dollars less than if I bought this HDX 1 gallon sprayer. I bought this instead. This sprayer takes up less space and is more than I need for use in my small backyard. I am using it to spray liquid Sevin on my pepper plants to get rid of those pesky white flies. It works great and easy to pump, you get a very long spray with only a couple pumps. So it has three positives going for it, size, ease of use and definitely the cost. I made a great choice.

Very easy to use and put together

Bought this the other day to apply insecticides. Does not meet expectations for insecticide sprayer, will be returning it to the store. I like home depot products overall, this one is not for me. The plastic Wand Handle leaks. I tighten the joints and in 15 minutes there are leaks again. When spraying insecticides or herbicides the product and person should not come in contact with one-another. Also, the neck flare is relatively small, still need to use funnel to safely add product to canister.

Brand new out of the box there was a pinhole leak in the hard plastic handle that shot a high pressure stream into my eye - a very strong bleach mixture. Luckily it wasn't poison or something worse or I'd probably be blind. This is one of the worst safety failures I've ever experienced in a product.
