    Ok so need to invest in one of these. Have no idea where to start. I had looked on web and adverts and seen Knapsack sprayer listed in a few places for circa 50. Found a review and more or less said it will fall to pieces

    Talked to gardener today and he said the same. He recommended a Solo sprayer. Found the Solo 425/P available from the UK for 140 pounds. Yet to find Irish shop

    Is Solo the best brand? or others out there for similar money?

    Thanks

    Checked a few reviews on these and not impressed so I will leave it. Talked to a guy who bought one and said it was a waste of time as he used 3-4 times and had to throw it out then.....

    If you want a quality sprayer, Cooper Pegler CP3 is your best option. More expensive than some sprayers on the market but will last for years, with reasonable care. I bought one 30+ years ago, cost then was £50 and apart from replacing the diaphram some years ago, it is still going strong.

    Cooper pegler or berthoud vermorel pro confort, the berthoud is more comfortable.

    I have both, Goldcrop will be able to sell you one.

    I prefer Hardi: I just sold my K15 yesterday....

    Thanks for the advice guys

    I did look at some other models but for the amount of work I will be doing with it I didn't want to spend over 200 bucks

    Ended up buying the following https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00XHRBQFQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Seemed like decent deal and can ship via PM

    I know some people go to tanning rooms to get their back sprayed
