HF has their backpack sprayer on sale. Normal price $30, typically $20 before they phased out coupons. Now you gotta wait for sales to buy at coupon price so... Here it is.
I use mine to spray Bifen to kill mosquitos.

The lever / pump arm alone is a huge improvement on the field king.
Correct. I said if used and cared for properly, this sprayer will complete the same task as an $80 sprayer.
I have more expensive sprayers, that work much better. If you need a sprayer to use a couple times, or if running a particularly nasty mix and don't want to foul your main sprayer, you won't find a better deal.
Yes, this is exactly the maintenance routine required to keep the $20 plastic sprayer working. 2 years strong. 💪
As others have said, the shoulder straps are garbage. The material is so abrasive it's very difficult to even get this thing on your back. The struggle has caused one side of the strap to detach a few times so I opt to carry the thing instead - which isn't ideal because the unit requires near continuous pumping to maintain pressure.
I would categorize this as barely serviceable. That should not come as a surprise at $20.

I recently bought this one - not a slick deal but has a 5 year warranty with lifetime free replacement parts. It's sturdy and relatively comfortable.

I recently bought this one for $69 (with $5 HD coupon). Seems like the same design but with the pump built inside to avoid leaks:

But I recommend bifen 7.9 from Amazon to anyone who has insect issues
Depending on how much you need to spray, the Ryobi 18v is decent. I mix up a gallon or two per spray and since there is no need to pump it goes pretty fast.
it appears the recent model is poorly constructed
BTW OP what brand of Bifen are you using?
A combined use with a leaf blower and fogger attachment:

I returned it because the back straps are PURE garbage. I'm sure so many people have spilled chemicals because the straps are so bad.
If you fill out a form stating what's wrong they send out a check for full amount
