Best/most comfortable knapsack sprayer

[Flat 10]

As above please. Cooper peglar are horrible old things. Won’t get all that much use but would like to know what people recommend.

I use a Makita which runs off their 18v cordless battery. Only 5litres but great for tidying up and spot spraying the odd thistle.

I’m not a great one for cordless appliances but thanks

I’ve got a stihl one here far nicer than the old cooper shoulder cutter!!

Got a Berthoud 15 litre one here, which is much nicer to wear than a CP.
Cordless ones look expensive, but would have advantage of being able to perhaps ride a quad and spray a fenceline at same time, etc.

Another vote for the Berthoud, replaced an old CP about 3 year ago and wouldn’t look back

Having used both Copper and Berthoud I would vote for cordless every time
The action of pumping adds to the weight on the back
I have recently bought one of these for my garden and it has made the job a piece of cake
I admit I have far too much garden, a lot of box and roses which needs spraying regularly

What about the controlled droplet electromagnetic type too?

Berthed do one which attaches like a rucksack. Cooper peeler are uncomfortable

gone up a bit in price nowadys tho.
Diaphragm pump and strong handle on top of the tank for carrying otherwise is quite useful.
works well .

Watching with interest.
I reckon it will be my big purchase of the year.
Leaning towards Berthoud.

Mmm...gave up riding a quad with one on my back, trying to pump handle, bought a cheap quad bike sprayer off amazon, much easier

 

[David.]

I know, but there are just some 5mins jobs that it's just too much ballache to put the bike sprayer on.

 

[Still Farming]

Most councils use CDA devices now .
Lot less water and Chemicals.

 

[neilo]

Another vote for a Berthoud. As far as carrying a weight slopping around on your back goes, I doubt you could find a design that’s more comfortable.
Try my hardest not to put it on though, much preferring throwing a spot sprayer into the Wydale dog box on my quad, which could almost have been made for the job.

Look at Toolstation and Screwfix. I’m sure they’re not the best. But cost under £20 and come with spare seal kit and selection of nozzles. I’ve been using the same one for over 2 years now.

 

[workin f nowt]

Any really. Probably cheapest as long as the wife is using it it doesn't matter
