I would disagree. Hand pumping is tiring, inconsistent pressure, and takes a lot longer to finish a spray than this. I have a battery backpack sprayer and a 31gallon tow behind. They both have their place and the backpack is very helpful for mulch bed weeds, blanket spraying an area, and spot spraying.
It's not going to show clearance price on brickseek... have to check in store
If it were lower than full price, it would say "Clearance" instead of the price of 199. For those, like myself, that the price shows 199 don't even bother looking in store because it will ring up as 199

Great price if it can be found.
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.

You need a really big yard to justify this.
Totally not true, amigo. I have a standard home and yard. I purchased the Hart version of this that is identical. There are very aggressive foraging ants in my region that will attempt to set up hives in the basement if not treated a couple times per year. I used to have to mix a couple gallons of mix, pumping it as I went around. Now the 30-40min job is done in 10 min in one pass. I'm also able to utilize glyphosphate on the tree line to control weed growth.
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.

Paid full price for this about 3 years ago as I got tired of handheld pump sprayers. Best $200 bucks I've spent on lawncare.. outside of my EGO tools. Allows me to put down insect treatment, outdoor cleaning agents, weed & feed lawn stuff so easily that's all of it is actually fun now!! I generally fill up 3 gallons of clean water from the house.. then dump in my treatments..before finally topping off the last gallon using the more clean water from the hose. Some treatments I end up only using about 1/2 or 2/3 of the treatment.. which means I just use the remaining on my next door neighbors lawn who appreciates the help lol. As some else suggested.. 4 gallons is the way to go because it guarantees you can treat your entire home/yard in one go. What used to take 1-2 hours.. now takes 10-15 mins.. including the mixing.
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.
Thanks OP, Got 1 for $50. My store says 3 with clearance on brickseek, store employee found only 1. Count definitely reduced to 2, but no one can locate those remaining two.

My store shows "low inventory". I asked an associate and they looked up the SKU saying they have 1 which meant they probably don't have it. I walked around the nearby aisles and found it in the overhead area!

So I was able to locate 1 in my area however the box was opened and it's missing both the charger and battery. Home Depot said I could try calling the manufacturer to see if they would send me one so I purchased it. Do you guys think they will send one or should I just return it?

Also use it to seal my driveway and porch.
