Just purchased and began using this product. What a great way to spray. Wheeled around with no problem, plenty of spray power and less time needed than the usual pump up types.

I own the 4 Gal. version of this sprayer, and it is awesome! We live on a 200 acre ranch in South Texas, and I use this all over the place! In fact, I keep Round-Up solution in it at all times. I mix up about 3 gal. at a time and never empty the tank because it never needs cleaning and is incapable of clogging. The only time it has ever clogged is when the tip of the nozzle has some dried solution on it. A quick rinse and it is as good as new. Our "yard" around the house is about 9,000 sq. ft. of carpet grass with lots of landscaping and beds. The sprayer primes up by pushing or pulling it for about 10 to 12 feet or more...plenty of time for me to drag it to the flower beds from my garage. As the spray is used, it naturally slows and dribbles down from the original fine spray, but all you have to do is pull it as you spray / walk around the beds, sometimes rolling it back and forth at arms length a few times to get it re-primed up for more spray. Beats the heck out of ANY sprayer I have ever lugged by hand or on a shoulder strap. If it breaks for any reason, I'm definately getting another one! I'm a 60 year old fat gal, so it won't get any easier for me! My only complaint it that I wish the wand was about 6" longer. Haven't tried the telescoping wand that comes as an extra purchase, but it's a good price ($8.00 or so) so I might.

I good idea. Worked fine for 3 months and then pressure apray valve broke. No one available to repair.

Worked first time. When I refilled it, would not spray. Returned for refund but after 2 months it has yet to be credited. I wish it would have worked because it would have saved a lot of time.

I purchased the Gilmour Garden Wheel Pump Sprayer in April 2006 and never opened the box until my new wife(married 12/07) started a large flower and vegetable garden. We started to purchase insecticides in small quantities that became very expensive. I recalled the wheel pump sprayer in the garage and put it into a action. What a great device and very easy to operate and maintain. I purchased Spectracide Malathion concentrate for $7.50 which provides up to 42 gallons of insecticide for our flowers and vegetables. No lifting, no pumping and will come in 2 -4 gallon models. I highly recommend this beautiful product. Sells for $50 - $75 depending on the model.

Although I am a regular customer of Amazon.com I did not buy this sprayer from them. The only reason I bought it elsewhere was our local farm store had it on sale for 54.95 and had a senior discount day with 10% off for seniors. Else I would have bought it from Amazon.com...I highly recommend you do! This is the most efficient and easy to use sprayer I've ever owned! I have owned several pump type sprayers and also have a 25 gallon for my JD tractor. The JD sprayer is overkill to spray RoundUp and is best reserved for my large lawn area plus it takes very much longer to clean it out with each use. The pump-ups are a pain, literally, to continually pump up and carry. This Gilmour W2 wheel sprayer is perfect to spray weeds around my property. It comes fully assembled out of the box. Read the simple easy to understand instructions and you are ready to fill and go. The construction of this unit appears superb, even the heavy duty hose. A longer wand would improve the experience, I am looking into the one Amazon.com sells to be sure it fits after noting other comments. GREAT TOOL...BUY IT!

Have had this one for quite some time now.
Am very happy with it.
The weight of a 2 gallon sprayer makes it easy to use.
Great product.

I was excited after reading the write-up on the Gilmour Spray as I felt it would suite my needs. The purpose was to spray weeds on my lawn. I was very disappointed. I carefully followed the instruction to make sure it meets my needs. The things I was looking for was spray distance and spray pattern i.e width of the spray as well as the consistency. Unfortunately none of these conditions were met. The spray distance was about 4 feet initially, which lasted for a few minutes and then dropped off to about a foot without any consistency. The whole episode was very frustrating, and after about 45 minutes to one hour decided that this would not suite my needs. I called the manufacturer directly but they were not helpful. That was when I decided to get in touch with Amazon.com. I would not recommend this devise to anyone

Gilmour Spray Doc 2-Gallon Wheel Pump Sprayer #W2
So I waited 3 months for the spray guy to come do my small spray job here at the over 55+ community! I would rather do it MYSELF but could not carry or pump a handheld sprayer nor get myself into and out of a "backpack" sprayer. So why don't "they" put the silly thing on wheels! It occurred to me to go on the Internet just to see if some enterprising company had done just that. And there it WAS!!!! Couldn't wait to get it. And it was affordable and so easy to use (it pressurizes itself as it rolls), clean up and store. AND great exercise instead of sitting to watch for the spray guy. Even took it to the ladies coffee for show and tell!

I am sorry, but received this item broken. I called customer serice but my 30 days had run out 3 days ago. I am sure it was probably insured if you can get someone to talk to.
