    Tank Leaking, Tank Failures
    I have purchased 2 of these sprayers with 2 additional tanks to switch out. I have 90% of the entire Milwaukee lineup, every tool, product offered and this is probably the worst product that Milwaukee makes. My last purchase was March 2023 another unit/tank and it has already failed as of June 2023. 3 of the 4 tanks have failed, either leaking so badly or won't pump except at a trickle. Nobody will respond from Milwaukee, so I went out and bought a totally different sprayer setup for 1/2 the price of Milwaukee's and it seems to be working perfectly fine. I do recommend the majority of all other Milwaukee products, but the sprayers get a zero. If you could do zero stars, that's what mine would be.

      Milwaukee 49-16-28PS SWITCH TANK TM 4-Gallon Spray
      i bought 2 of these tanks last year. they both had to be sent back because they leaked. now i tried this year and guess what they both leak. it seems to be a seal in the bottom of the tank. problem is i can't find a parts list. so just threw this money away. i am very sad , because of the money lost and i don't have a sprayer now. but especially because i love milwaukee, i am a mechanic and i own tools, lights, leaf blowers, saws, bags and many other milwaukee products. if possible i always buy milwaukee but you really dropped the ball on these sprayers and i don't know anything i can do but take the loss shame on you milwaukee for not doing a recall and fixing this product

        Leaked right out of the box! Big mess, crappy product....I think they only know how to make tools like drills...had terrible luck with their vacuums also! How disappointing!

          Leaked from the tank faster than it could spray
          Come on Milwaukee. We pay top dollar for your products and then when we need to use them fresh out of the box, they leak like a sieve. Disappointed beyond belief. I finally had a few minutes to spray the weeds that are getting out of control but instead I watched 4 gallons of weed killer drain out before I could even use it. Now I get to watch the weeds grow taller while I wait another week for a different one? How is your quality control so bad?? What a waste of my time. Figure your crap out!

            The tank had a hole in it and leaked bad. I needed it that day and as such had to epoxy the hole.

              3rd tank leaking
              Milwaukee knows this is a flawed tank/pump design they will not stand behind it. The driver unit is good but the tanks will leak after little use no matter what you do.I flushed the tanks out with water after every use. stored it in my heated garage and still only got 6 uses out of it spraying 7 and weed killer out of it. This is one of the worst tools Milwaukee makes. Stay a way at all cost...

                  Should have read the other review first. I will check the next one before I leave the store.

                    Tank leaks!
                    I am a big Milwaukee fan and use many Milwaukee tools in my business. However, this one is a big disappointment. First tank leaked right out of the box. Returned to the store I bought it from and they gave me a new tank. Brought it home and it too leaked. Not going to spend money on a third tank, so now my sprayer sits in my barn gathering dust. Total waste! Do not recommend this product at all!

                      New out of the box leaking tank and cracked nozzel
                      The tank has a small crack new out of the box. Also the brass spray nozzle has a crack. Extremely disappointed with Milwaukee and this sprayer.

                        terrible pressure
                        Cant get it to hold pressure right out the box. It is absolutly difficult to get it to shoot anything even with a 12.0 battery fully charged which sucks i was looking forward to this sprayer.

                              Filled up and tank started leaking right out of the box. Sprayer was comfortable to carry, worked great -- other than the leak, which is definitely a manufacturer defect
