1 gallon sprayers are the most popular of all handheld units – they are inexpensive, compact, easy to carry and therefore ideal for all smaller areas.
Here we present you our most recommended models with ratings, prices and reviews:
Inexpensive: Perfect unit for smaller yards, it is compact, cheap and offers enough pressure. But don’t expect some advanced functions.
Advanced: Slightly more expensive but worth the money, it comes with a few premium features like a pressure relief valve or 5 different nozzles.
Another option to choose from – offers a decent price, the lock-on function but also comes with a few minor disadvantages.
Of course, the disadvantages of small garden sprayers (when compared to their backpack siblings) are clear. You have access to a limited amount of liquid so if you want to use it on a larger property, you’ll have to refill often. And also you cannot maintain pressure while walking and spraying, you have to stop every time, place the unit on the ground, raise the pressure and start again.
On the other hand, there are also some cool advantages associated with the 1 gallon tank sprayers:
- Their low prices enables you to get a few of them, one for each chemical to avoid cross-contamination between fertilizers, weed killers or insecticides.
- Also, thanks to their compact size and low weight, you can easily mix the solution by shaking the whole tank instead of using some kind of a large spoon or stick or getting a model with a built-in agitator.
