Hills Garden Sprayer

Rubber disc at base of plunger distorted by folding upwards and coming off plunger Bought repair kit . Kind of works but seems to require a lot of difficult pumping for poor spray output. Not impressed. Rubber disc may have been affected by Roundup spray. It should be able to cope with garden chemicals. Show details

I give up. This is my third and last Hills sprayer. There must be something better on the market that lasts for longer than 6 months and a handful of sprays. Inevitably, each unit's spray function just dwindles away to nothing. How are these still being sold all these years later when they're clearly made of remarkably cheap materials? Show details

This is what I call service!!! – The trigger of my 'Hills Backpack Sprayer 12L' started giving problems after 7 years of using. I tried finding a replacement part but I just couldn't find anything anywhere. I contacted the supplied directly explaining the problem that I can't seem to find a spare part for it. I was sent the following reply to my email request: "The only spare… Read more ·  1

parts we have available for the Backpack Sprayers are the Lance and Nozzle Kits. This does not include the Trigger or Hose assembly. The warehouse team have since advised me that they have a replacement Trigger assembly they can send out as a good will gesture. If you could please reply with your current residential address."

That is what I call service. Thank you from the bottom of my hart for this!!!

Still going strong after 9 or 10 years, maybe more – Update April 2025 I’ve had my Hills 5 litre sprayer for quite a few years now. I’ve never had to replace seals or nozzles in that time. All I’ve done to the unit is wrap Teflon tape around all of the threaded fittings. Does not drip a single drop anywhere. I use it regularly to spray herbicide, pesticide and copper and sulphur on fruit trees and grape vines respectively. Can’t believe this product has received so many negative reviews. Show details ·  1

8 ltr garden sprayer – I have had my sprayer for 6 years and yes ot has a 5 year warranty but in saying that never had a problem untill now and it is in the wand rang to ask is i could get a replacement but they don't have but must be a lot of complaints as the girl said they are Working on it they really should have complete wand[the whole thing] as the bottle will… Read more

never wear out So come on Hills get your act together as it is every ones complaint I have bought another on so if i have this complaint after 5 year i want to be able to buy the complete attachment

If I could give -5 I would. Biggest heap of sht. Bought the Hill 8lt garden sprayer (middle price range). No guts, very slow, poor pressure from the start. I've used it only a couple of times, and today pressure VERY poor and took hours to do small amount and then nothing............ just stopped working all together. I wonder about the 3… Read more

year warranty, doesn't last a week. And ofcourse I didn't have the receipt to take it back. Purchased from Home Hardware in Daylesford (now Mitre 10).

Hills garden sprayer not worth the money you pay for it – Hills 5 litre garden sprayer brought in January 2024 and used about 6 times and stop working I checked for leaks etc and found laying in the bottom off the bottle a rubber square shaped item. Inspected the plunger a found the bottom round rubber seal missing which is the item I found on the bottom off the bottle tried to refit the rubber but when… Read more

pumping air it keeps coming out I rang Hills the ask me to send photos and a copy of in invoice but the email address would not let me send the information I emailed them but no reply it’s been 5 days the item are fairly expensive as you can buy from Bunnings a sprayer for $12 doors and will last a couple off years back to Hills the item do not last and the price you pay for the crap item

Hills garden spray poor quality – Terrible spray unit to use The 2 filters are totally inadequate to dispense the solution for garden spraying continually get clogged Tried to purchase spare parts and non available what a joke Show details

No better then the cheap ones on the market – I have a Hills 8 litre garden sprayer that would be barely a year old and has split the tank. It has always been kept in my garage when not in use and out of the sun. Would not have been used any more than a dozen times. I may as well buy the cheap ones that last just as long. Never again! Show details

Hills 2 litre garden spray – Product is a HoS. Hasn't worked since new. Received as a gift so no receipt. Been in shed for a few years. Just got it out, replaced plunger washer but won't hold pressure. Would not recommend, do not buy. Rubbish Show details

Worst product I’ve ever bought – Silly enough to buy a second one after I thought I wore out the first one, it’s just never worked right pressure no spray lines all clean just crap Thoughts hills was a reputable brand but advise against buying this product Show details

Bad Quality – I have bought several 1 Litre Trigger Sprays. After several uses it does not work. It is cheap price and cheap quality. Better buy another brand even though the price is more expensive and lasts longer Show details

Poor quality – Bought one of these sprayers and went to put it together and there were no Orings to seal off the wand tubing. How hard is it to put 2 Orings on and where is the quality control? These are the negative effects of poor quality Chinese made rubbish. Show details

Terrible waste of money – First one would not pump efficiently. I thought it was inexpeeience so purchased a second one. The second leaked weed poison all over me as I was spraying. What did get sprayed onto the lawn was so fine it had little effect on the weeds. Bunnings should read these reviews. Show details

Cheap junk – I'm amazed Bunnings stills sells this piece of useless plastic. You can pump til your blue in the face and, if you're really lucky, you'll get a tiny dribble of liquid that lasts about 1 second. Stupid me for buying a second one thinking the first unit must have been a lemon. Nope. The second one was just as useless. Show details

Seal no good – Here I am my clothes soaked with garden chemicals again. Hills plastic sprayers put the spray on you instead of the trees. The 1 litre unit works for one short usage period, if you're lucky. The seal quickly deteriorates. Before you can say "Made in China" the unit is useless. Why are you selling this Bunnings? Try Taiwan.  Show details

Pressure lasts 5 seconds – No matter how many times you pump and build up pressure, it just has one short spray burst then dribbles out. Filter is clean, nozzle is clean, intake hose is clean. Makes no difference. Wish I could buy a decent sprayer that I can just grab and spray without having to stop and pump every 5 seconds.

good for recycling – for some reason the output pressure would reduce even though the container was pressurised. also it was back breaking work due to the wand being too short. [i am average height of 5 foot 10 ]. Because of this it was not easy to use as i was constantly bending over to get close to the weeds. It is in the bin now after one use. Show details

Poor quality product – Parts have repeatedly broken including trigger mechanism , pressure fails, release valve leaks 3 units have each let me down. If only hills could come out with a quality product. I would recommend to stay clear Show details

They dont stock parts, you drop it your up for a new one – Rang company because being a 80 dollar machine you would think they stocked parts, the unit fell over on me and cracked the lid that holds the pump in. No go, would not buy another Hills product if they don't care about their customers problems. Went back to purchase place of Mitre 10 and to be honest they were very reluctant to help also. They… Read more

begrudgingly contacted the Rep after personal persistence. Waste of my time over a 2 dollar plastic lid, but that is what they want isn't it, throw away society.

Many sprayers just dont work – We have tried so many expensive and cheap garden sprayers including Hills, have yet to find one that works. The latest one Ryset bought today doesn't work. Pump it to the exact amount of pumps Though we adjust the nozzle as per the directions, the solution dribbles out and stops after exactly 1 - 2 seconds and have to pump again, Hills reacted the same. We refuse to use deadly Roundup instead use a great organic one. Show details

Hills 5ltr spray pack – OK. have had that spray pack for about 2 years. Only one spray nozzle supplied but thats ok but the spill tray at the top over time crimps the plastic tube due to the large cone and it restricts the flow. Would not buy again. Bought a nylex 5ltr heavy duty and all is good and a lot cheaper.The wand holder on the Hills is rubbish and will break… Read more

after a dozen uses. Bad design from .Hills. Try to replace the Hills plastic tube but not possible. Threw it in the bin.

Faulty O rings – The O rings in the trigger valve swell up & you can't turn it off. As this is a common problem Hills should supply improved O ring kits at low cost. Show details

this a shocking spray machine – Sadly so frustrated it has to go where it wont be seen any more it started off so well but the release valve is a problem as reported by other users cmon Hills lets do something. B

Waste of money – Don't waste your money on the Hills 5 litre pressure sprayer. I have bought a few and they last about 6 months max before the trigger/valve mechanism misfunctions and you cannot turn it off. I have cleaned them out, reset the seals, time after time but hopeless. Have learnt my lesson now, keep your receipt, you will need it. Show details

Terrible Product – I have now had 3 Hills 16L spray packs and they have ranged from being faulty on arrival to lasting a very short period. Issues have been from spray wand leaking on me to just not working at all. I had 3 because the supplier kept replacing the faulty units but I have now given up and looking for a reliable manufacturer.

Not fit for the purpose intended!!! – Looks the part but that is where it finishes. This issue was bought to their attention over a year ago by another reviewer, seems that they really don't care to make improvements to fix the issues related to their sprayers. Obviously another great Australian company being run into the ground. l will be returning this crap sprayer to the store… Read more

where it was purchased for a refund and l can say that l will NEVER purchase a product from "HILLS" ever again.

5lt Hills Sprayer – Purchase sprayer ay 3-4 yrs ago. Has been sitting under house for over 2 years because the handle trigger off/on switch wont switch off. Only way to stop is to let the pressure out and that is really a nuisance. Appears you have a problem here. Replaced all seals but same problem- was told by the Mitre 10 that it is the handle an no replacement… Read more

available. That is the only problem I had.Oh well, another good looking sprayer to the tip with not much use. I bought another sprayer yesterday and it wasn't a Hills.

DO something!!!NE South west Aust – Worst product I have bought for my Garden,from SMALL HAND SPRAYS TO 9LT SPRAYS. Maximum life less than 1 year, I would have sent to the tip over 2 year at least 5 sprays and 5 more to go.HILLS I am fed up with your products. Do something!!!
