With summer fast approaching and outdoor spaces needing a little extra maintenance, Amazon shoppers are snapping up a gadget that’s been hailed as a “must-have” for gardening enthusiasts.
Spear & Jackson’s pump pressure sprayer is currently the number one bestselling garden product, with a staggering 30,000 units sold in the last month alone. Priced at just £12.80, it can be filled with water, fertiliser, cleaners, pesticides and other products to make completing outdoor tasks a breeze, from watering plants to killing weeds and cleaning the patio.
The device comes with a graduated bottle for precisely mixing the solution, a 1.3 metre hose for use in tricky or hard-to-reach areas, and a shoulder strap for easy transport. With over 40,000 reviews from Amazon shoppers, this pressure sprayer has an impressive average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars, with fans praising it as “amazing” and saying it “makes” gardening a breeze.
One person said in a five-star review: “I used this to apply patio cleaner. It was quick and easy to use. I had previously used a cheaper own-brand sprayer but this felt much sturdier and better quality. I especially liked the strap, which made it much easier to handle and support in tricky areas. It sprayed evenly and at the right speed, and it was easy to apply pressure and secure in place. I would recommend.”
Another reviewer commented: “I used it with a sodium hydrochloric acid solution to clean exterior walls and it was perfect for the job. It was very easy to set up and use and the solution stayed pressurized for a long time. It has a shoulder strap so you can put it on your shoulder and move around your surroundings quickly and easily while spreading the solution. Another great thing about this design is that you can lock the spray button in the on position so you don’t have to keep it pressed. It looks small but holds a lot while still being easy to carry.”
A third Amazon buyer raved: “Great little sprayer. Easy to set up and use. I’ve used it a few times to green up my patio and it’s so much easier than using a pressure washer. I also sprayed it on the roof of my shed which had turned green. I would recommend it if you’re looking for this type of product. Great value for money.”
Another wrote, “This has made my life so much easier. It covers a large area, is easy to carry and durable. I love that it did the job in an hour instead of the 5 hours it would take with a regular hand sprayer. The handle and strap make it so easy to use, highly recommend. I also used less product because I could cover a larger area with less.”
While 88% of Amazon shoppers gave the pressure sprayer a four or five-star rating, a few reviewers complained that it broke after a few uses, and several others found it to have insufficient pressure and was “too weak” to work effectively.
