I've got the Hart brand that is similar and made by same company and thing is great. I use it for my lawn herbicide, fungicide, and fertilizer. Also used it to seal my concrete with a water based sealer and no issues at all.
I will note if anyone has these sprayers and it randomly doesn't turn on one day it's an easy fix. The chances are the wire has come undone that connects to the knob.
It's a simple 5 minute fix to just take apart, get some electrical tape and then tape the wire back on.
Also use it to seal my driveway and porch.

This power sprayer was purchased just because it was $40, but even at over $100, I'm never going back to a pump. Not only can I carry 4 gallons in a back pack, not only do I not have to pump, but the volume of spray is four times that of a pump sprayer, so the actual spraying takes way less time. If someone sprays a couple times per year, and they value their time as a reasonable rate, this is an insanely good deal.
Even if you don't buy the powered sprayer, I highly recommend a 4 gallon backpack sprayer. Mixing and handling chemicals just adds to the potential exposure to hazardous chemicals. The less mixing, the better to me. A 4 gallon pump sprayer costs about the same, so it's almost foolish not to get a powered if you can. I liked mine so much, that for $40 I bought a second one to get a battery and have a backup if the first one dies. When the chemicals we are utilizing are potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic, I want to get done as soon as possible to strip out of PPE and get in the shower.
TIP FOR USE: The pump sucks to prime. It's the one flaw in design. It should have come with a a little priming bulb or wheel to manually turn. You can avoid issues by rinsing out all chemicals at the end of use. Then fill the tank with some fresh water and run it until it sprays water. Leave some water in it while storing and it will be primed for next use. Don't do this if it can freeze.
Alternatively, several minutes before you want to use it. Fill it with fresh water. Lock the sprayer wand on, but leave the power off, and let gravity trickle some water into the pump.

Yep its heavy when completely full. So if you are a lightweight or can't handle that much weight, then only fill it halfway. Feeds from the bottom and you can adjust the intensity of the pump.. and pattern of the nozzle to get it spraying exactly as you want. Screwing on the lid is also annoying but still pales in overall comparison.
I've never had it clog up. But common sense would say when you are finished with it.. to run some clean water through it after you finish. Its no different than rinsing out a cup or straw when done drinking sugary liquids. I don't think hot water is even necessary, just clean water.. I generally clean mine up well before putting it away.. as its stored in my basement. And I don't want any chemical smells or leaks down there. So i rinse it down well inside and out several times to keep it looking & working like new.
