Rating:  - Finally, a decent sprayer
After years of toting around those ball-and-chain, manually pumped sprayers (BCMPS), finally someone (B&D) has taken a step back and thought "Gee, why don't we jump into the 21st century and design something that works"Well hats off to Black and Decker. They actually did it. The VP450 is all that is advertised and more. I've paid 3x the cost of the VP450 for back-pack sprayers, only to come away with a sore back (3 gal=about 25 pounds) and a poorly sprayed residence/yard (hard to crawl under porches,etc). This is a very well-designed, quality sprayer that combines an efficient pump, spacious 3 gal tank, long/flexible hose, and an excellent spray nozzle...all for $...!! I usually get three tank fulls without any battery deterioration (gold-series batteries) and the very long throw spray distance makes residence coverage a breeze. Don't even think of another BCMPS sprayer! This is a winner.
Rating: - Very good sprayer
Important things to know about this sprayer are:
1. You have to be VERY careful not to lose the 'O' ring that seals the top. It is hard to find a replacement and the sprayer will not work correctly without it. What happens is that the machine keeps running because it's trying to pressurize the tank, but because the tank will not seal without the 'O' ring, the constant running of the machine will drain the batteries. If you hear hissing, and the machine keeps running and running, the tank is not properly sealed. You need to unscrew the top and put it back on again to get a seal. Once you get the hang of closing it, it's not a problem.
2. If you have a larger than average yard, you should buy an extra set of the rechargeable batteries so you don't run out of power before you are done spraying. I always recharge the batteries the night before I'm going to spray.
3. The sprayer is somewhat 'tippy' over uneven ground. Other than those 3 things, (which are not really serious problems but should be taken into consideration) this is a very easy way to apply sprays in the garden. The sprayer produces a good spray and is easy to use. It is much easier to use than the kind of sprayers you have to pump by hand. I have used mine for 2 years and am very satisfied with it.
Rating: - Kansas housewife review
This product earns it's cost after one season of use -- no pumping as with the manual type tanks -- wheels that pull the unit easily through grass so you don't have to carry it -- quickly distributes an entire tank of "whatever" on my flowers, shrubs, and lawn. The only drawback I encountered was with understanding the rechargable batteries. Per B&D customer service, you must keep the batteries in the recharging unit whenever the sprayer is not in use or they slowly discharge and won't be ready when you are. Also, I sometimes need more then 3 tanks of liquid when spraying very large areas so I will probably buy the B&D "gold" rechargable batteries which are suppose to have 60% more usage time versus the batteries that come with the unit. Great Product - I'm buying another one for my Dad.
