Can anyone recommend a garden sprayer that isn't one of these (see attached)?
I have nothing but problems with these cheap plastic things.

i have a pump one like that, from walmart, $10 maybe. works just fine.

Buy a nicer Chapin or Solo and be done with it.

I just got one from Home Depot for $16 that does fine for me hitting spots in the lawn. Quite impressed with it actually. It has a white/translucent bottle; not the orange one HDX from China.

I bought a small round-up one from Lowe's and haven't had any problems with it. I also bought a larger, Chapin backpack-sprayer for the entire yard that works great

I will go even a little more extreme. I bought this recently for my lawn tractor.
Ironton Tow-Behind Broadcast and Spot Sprayer — 13-Gallon Capacity, 1 GPM, 12 Volt DC

It works well but it was on sale for $130, thats a decent price for it. At its normal price though, I would suggest going to the 15 gallon sprayer with a 2.2GPM pump on it instead. Mine can be a little slow at 1 GPM but hey, I get to spend more time on my lawn tractor!

After years of cheap hand held sprayers that eventually clogged or otherwise failed to function i bought a 4 gallon Chapin backpack sprayer. Available everywhere.

Be aware the 4 gallon model is a bit heavy to get hoisted on your shoulders. If weight is an issue just get a smaller one.

Not cheap but money well, very well spent.

If you want one you never will have to replace get one like this: https://www.amazon.com/Chapin-1253-...id=1465701333&sr=8-2&keywords=SS+weed+sprayer it's all stainless steel and brass!

I use this one. It's runs on four D-size batteries. No pumping. It only holds 1.3 gallons, but works well enough around the house. Also has a reverse to clear the tube.

That has got to be a mistake. Its showing $19 for that battery powered sprayer but on amazon its $60. It comes back in stock at that price and I will get me one as well

No mistake. That's the price I paid. I just checked my order history. It came to $20.50 with tax.

Good options here. I bought a 1 gallon $15 sprayer that I'll make sure to clean out after every use and store properly (per instructions). If it doesn't last that way then on to the suggestions from r0ckstarr or the other battery-powered sprayers. Thank you

I always end up having trouble with the wand. Always seem to develop a leak around the trigger mechanism which is plastic. Nice to see some worthy recommendations for something better.

I've sent many many gallons through my Round-up brand sprayer too. For the first couple years, when using it only for organic fertilizer. I didn't even bother flushing it out.

I've sprayed sodium hydroxide deck cleaner, oxalic acid, organic fertilizer. 4 years and not a single problem.
