Customer Reviews for RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Battery Fogger/Mister (Tool Only)

Bought this to spray insecticide around the perimeter of my home. Mixture is thin, 1oz insecticide to 127oz water. It kinda mists for a short while then the mist thins out until nothing but air is spraying from the front. I can get mist to come out more if I shake the tar out of it while in use but as soon as you stop shaking it back and forth the mist again starts to thin until nothing. Hoses look normal inside. Filter looks good. It's also loud and drains batteries fast, even the 6ah ones.

I used this thing maybe 4 times since I bought it for parties. Works great except the 5th time it just started leaking and doesn’t spray

Not sure why all the bad reviews on the flogging quality. I'm using the same fogging solution that goes in the propane model, the premixed Cutter Backyard Bug Control and so far it works excellent. I ran the solution right out of the bottle I did not dilute it with water. I'm in North Atlanta (july) working outside and I got eaten alive the first evening I was here so I bought this thing at Home Depot and I have not been bit since I've been fogging twice a day once in the morning once in the evening. My old propane fogger lasted about 4 years before it finally clogged up so I was going to buy another propane model until I saw the ryobi. Battery is good enough to to a large yard I'll update if something changes but so far I'm happy.

The very first time I used this fogger, after fully charging the battery, only a tiny portion of the tank was emptied. I didn't time it but it didn't last long. I would be satisfied with one tank dispersed per charge but not waiting for the battery to cool down and re-charge multiple times for each tank of fluid. Now I understand the low price. No more Ryobi for me and this will be returned.

This is my 2nd Ryobi Fogger/Mister, I returned the 1st one thinking maybe it was defective, the 2nd one does the same. It sprays very weak, works well with water only, but can't handle any type of mixture. With a mixture of chemical of any kind, it goes from extremely lite mist to none and it sputters. I think the little filter on the intake hose isn't letting much in, and I can't modify it because the tank doesn't separate from the machine. I will be returning this one too. This could be a great product, but Ryobi needs to tweak some of the defects first.

I can see why this product is out of stock everywhere. It really works. No more wasting money on aerosol cans of backyard fogger. No more spraying my skin with DEET products. I think you can use just about any repellent with this machine as long as you dilute it so that the fluid has the same viscosity as water. Refer to instructions for details. Highly recommend! Best to purchase I’ve made in a while and just in time for a break out of west nile virus here inFlorida

With COVID, this fogger has been selling out immediately once it hits stores. I believe it’s being used with disinfectant to clean areas fast. To my surprise, I located two at our local Home Depot. We have had a wet and hot spring in the Midwest. That has caused gnats and mosquitos to invade our yard. It was to the point that we could not sit outside for too long due to the gnats and mosquitos. I checked daily waiting for this fogger to get in stock. It finally made it. I bought two not knowing how it was going to work. I’m glad I did. This fogger works great!! Using the fogger is pretty self explanatory. You have the fogger, cap and battery. Once you put liquid in, hold the button to get it started. It takes about 3-5 seconds for the material to start coming out. Once it does, it shoots pretty far. If you’re sensitive to noise wear earplugs. It almost sounds like an air compressor when you’re using it. I was interested to see how this works due to traditional foggers using heat to create the fog effect. After looking inside, it appears there’s a hose with small holes in it that sprays the liquid. There is a fan that sits in the middle of the fogger. That in turn blows the liquid out as a very fine mist. So I’m not sure if you want to call this a fogger or a mister. I think it’s more of a very fine mist rather than fog. Regardless of what it is, it works as long as you use a good enough product which is sold separately.

20 stars not 5

I use it to disinfect and it works perfect, get the job done.

Works great. Wish I would have purchased 2 more.

I loved that: - I don't need to buy propane - I don't need to drag cords around - I don't have to set it on fire - I love that it's relatively lightweight I did a youtube review on it: https://youtu.be/fFaOJrI1WaU

This is my first experience with a fogger of any brand. I like that it is capable of doing a couple things, not just insecticide. The battery took approximately an hour to fully charge for the first use. I didn't find this to be a problem since I wasn't using the fogger right away. It has a nice, large hole to pour into. The fog or mist that comes out of it goes fairly far(see picture) and does not spray back. My husband was able to spray this without getting anything on him during a day that was not windy. It is a little loud but that is to be expected I guess.

ONE+18-VOLTLITHIUM-ION CORDLESS FOGGER 2.0 AH BATTARY CHARGER INCLUDER. THIS IS A PRODUCT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. Last year I spent over $100.00 on mosquito spraying and this unit is a fantastic cost of $100.00. Things you can do it with this fogger. Spray fungicides, spray herbicides and insecticides. It's best to do your spraying early in the morning or just before the sun sets. Never spray when there is windy weather. Always thoroughly wash the 1/2 gallon plastic container.I will have to wait unti spring to try.l

I just used the Ryobi Cordless Multi-Purpose Fogger for the first time and it was great! Our home was built in 1990 and the original owner planted huge hedges all around the property along with oleanders and ivy. Needless to say we have our share of bugs living in all of these spots. This fogger comes with a very wide opening spout to add your pesticide, herbicide or fungicides into the 1/2 gallon reservoir that is permanantely attached to the main housing of the fogger. I added 1 teaspoon of my favorite pesticide along with a half gallon of water to the reservoir and away I went. I was able to literally hit all the hedges, oleanders and ivy with just one 1/2 gallon tank full of pesticide. This Ryobi fogger puts out a very fine mist that coats the entire leaf of what ever you are spraying it onto and it also pushes it past the face of the leaf and into the area behind it if you are standing close enough. Using this is kind of like using a leaf blower with a storage tank attached. It actually has a lot of force to spray what ever plant you are trying to protect or treat. It's also delicate enough that it won't harm any flowers or anything you are spraying if you stand back far enough and just let the mist gently fall on it. This fogger says it will cover up to 1,000 sq. ft. per minute and I think it honestly will. I was able to coat the face of one of my hedges that is about 8 ft. tall and 40 ft long in less then a minute by just standing back and letting the mist cover huge swaths of the hedge in just one pass. This fogger says that you can stand up to 15 ft. and it will spray a fine mist onto whatever you are spraying. It was a little too windy today to test that out but I kept the wind at my back and I was able to stand about 6 ft away and it blew it onto the hedge with no problem. The 18 volt 2Ah battery it comes with says it will cover up to 10,000 sq. ft. on one charge. My battery died after about 15 minutes even after being fully charged the night before. I don't know if that is a one time fluke or if I got a bad battery. Either way I have a large amount of Ryobi batteries on hand so I just switched batteries and kept on going with no problems. This fogger also comes with a dual chemistry quick charger that will charge both the old 18-Volt Ni-Cd batteries or the newer 18-Volt Lithium batteries. You can actually store your battery on the charger and it will maintain your battery at peak performance so that you are always ready to go. I have the Ryobi 6-port charger so I keep my batteries stored on it but for those of you who don't have that this charger will do the same thing. I not only have a large amount of vegetation around our home but we also have 6 ft. tall redwood fencing that surrounds three sides of our home. The fencing is always covered in spider webs and it kind of makes the fencing look bad especially when leaves and all kinds of stuff get stuck in the webs. Now that I have this fogger I can apply a fine mist of pesticide to all my fencing in just minutes. The one slight negative of this fogger is it did start to feel a little heavy after a few minutes so I found myself switching hands quite often. It wasn't really that bad though. You can comfortably hold the fogger with your arm down by your side and just tilt it up to mist the area you are trying to cover. The tubing that pulls the liquid out of the reservoir is at the back so you never want to tilt the reservoir down. You need to hold it either perfectly flat or tilt it up somewhat to so that it doesn't run dry. This fogger says it weighs 6.1 pounds on the packaging. When you add the 2Ah battery to it it weighs 7.2 pounds. When you add a half gallon of water to the reservoir it will add approximately another 4 pounds of weight to it. Now you have a sprayer weighing somewhere slightly over 11 pounds so you can see how it might start to feel heavy after a while. All in all I'm very, very happy with this Ryobi fogger. I will be using it mainly to apply pesticide around our home. It is going to make doing this a lot, lot easier though. This fogger comes with a 3 year limited warranty and if this fogger is as good as the rest of my Ryobi products I don't foresee any problems with it whatsoever.

Have not used the fogger yet. May can tell you about it in a few weeks

Excellent device for getting in tight places works very well no complaints.

It does not fog as advertised. It mostly sprays and spits.

work well for spraying weed killer

Like many others posted the battery life for the fogger is anemic. You're likely to finish a job over the courses of days because of having to stop to recharge the battery. I'm unsure how the manufacturer came up with estimate of being able to treat 10k sq feet on a single charge, it lasted just a few minutes. It would be better for them to quit selling the product until the battery life is extended. I can not recommend this product in it's current form.

I have not been able to get a good spray from this unit. I can barely see what is coming out. Also went through 2 batteries and did not empty even one tank. Not a good choice

I bought this like many others to help with mosquitos and after close to a year of owning it is a bad product. It barely sprays, always leaks, and you have to hold it at a crazy angle in order for the liquid in the tank to come out. Ryobi won't respond to me trying to claim the warranty on it and get it fixed so here I am. What a waste of money.

This is my second unit and both had leaks in the same location. The leaks were so bad that half of the liquid came out dripping and staining my stone tiles. I could understand if one unit might have a defect but not both in the same spot. Only used about two bottles of liquid before leak started.

Worst ryobi product I’ve ever purchased. Just straight up does not fog / mist. Waste of $100.

This “fogger” spits, not fog or mist. You might as well use a super soaker and fan. It’s also incredibly load.

This device is not an actually fogger. It’s a sprayers/mister. You actually have to get things wet with what you are spraying where as a roofer doesn’t get things wet. It literally creates a fog where the solution you spray does the work. If you are look in g for a fogger, this is not it.

I've purchased two of these, and they work a couple times before the hoses inside shrink and start leaking. Ryobi needs to start using chemical resistant tubing while making these. Would cost them pennies, but drastically improve the product. I won't be buying another one.

Great for the price paid. Produces enough fog for the jobs needed. I mainly use this for fogging my property to reduce mosquitoes. The battery lasts for about a little under 15 minutes of continuous use, I wish it was a little longer but it's not an issue for me.

It worked good the first three or four times then it started leaking? This is the second one I bought and I had the same problem with the leaking from the bottom
