Ryobi 18V ONE+ 3.5L Sprayer OWS1880

Clean spray solution must have – Fantastic BUT spray solution must be clean so that suction filter on bottom of clear plastic suction pipe in tank does not block.up Don't be lazy and pour your chemical into tank and put the spray nozzle in tank to mix up spray solution as you will introduce fine debris into ya tank and block your suction filter.then no spray output Premix in clean container Show details

Do Not Buy – Very Poor product. Did not maintain any sort f pressure after first use. Only ever used for Glyphosate. Known problem with valve (see youtube). Made mod to valv as per youtube. Pressure returned to normal, bu only for a sort time. I would not recommend this product. Show details

Worthless – The unit fails to pump any liquid. I took the whole thing apart but there wasn’t any debris clogging valves or anywhere else. Bottom line these units are junk. Buy a Worx it is a much better unit and it actually works.

Way better than my manual pump sprayer. So worth it – I purchased the 7.5L Version of the Ryobi Sprayer Model OWS1870 to spray large patches of bindii's around our 2.5 acres. It is awesome. I can highly recommend. One of the best things I've bought. I had a 15L backpack sprayer (not Ryobi) with the manual pump. Twice a year I need to spray around the 2.5 acres when patches of bindii and khakis… Read more

burr break out. After 1 tank of the 15L manual sprayer I was tired of pumping, the thing leaked poison down my back I would get over it and not finish the job... so bindii and khaki burr would pop up and we would have prickles in our feet for months. This Ryobi 7.5L sprayer is so much better. The tank is half the size but don't let that turn you off... having the the electric pump is sooooo much easier. I actually feel like doing the whole job. In 2020 every patch of bindii has been sprayed. Love it.

Others Good things: - the handles on the bottle and the spray wand are very comfortable and ergonomic. - I don't use the included shoulder strap, I find the bottle ok to carry in one hand for an hour or two, it's not that heavy. - the spray wand and handle are made from brass and are very good quality. My previous sprayers were plastic which would deteriorate with a year or two. - 6 Year Warranty when you register the tool on Ryobi website is awesome too! - I use a 4ah Milwaukee battery with an adapter. The 4ah battery doesn't even drop a light on the indicator after about an hours use. - The bottle has a nice big opening for running the garden hose into the bottle.

This is a terrific sprayer. For 2.5 acres of spraying patches of bindii's the 7.5L is heaps big enough in capacity for me. 7.5L goes a long way, and having the battery pump makes the job enjoyable, so I don't mind the extra trips back to refill!

OK For Edge Cases OR Maybe Huge Areas - At A Price – No one likes admitting a mistake but this was really. Vaguely it helped get a more directed squirt to a vaguely harder to reach space, but nothing that a $10 pump action would have not done without much extra effort. Dexterity issues aside, which I can't speak for this achieves no more than my $10 pump action sprayer. Sure the pump action is 5L… Read more

v this at 7.5L but the $10 5L hand pump action for air pressure is 3 or so hardly any time pump sessions (over within half a shake of lamb's tail).

For my 650m sq block, I end up using the $10 pumper as it's just fine and it's also silent v this (still nothing bad at all). By the time the battery is out and put away / put on/off charge, I am quicker with the $10 pumper.

It's a "nice to have" for end rinsing of a few areas on my car, and it was the vaguely just winner on a couple of corners in an unkept part.

Would I buy it again? NO!

Nothing wrong with it as such just that 10 hand pumps for one of these (assuming have the battery, which I did) means it's a bit of regret even if only a $100 one.

IMHO just have a bit of a think before buying, unlike me. It may be right for you but for me, it's a Carlos Fandango bit of glitz looking for an issue to solve where there never was a problem.

So Much Better Than A Manual Sprayer – I'm a bit confused about the other reviews on this site - there's a lot of negative which I just haven't experienced. I have the OWS1870 One+ 18V Sprayer model, so perhaps this is a newer model? I've got no negatives to report - - Robust construction - nice sized reservoir - not too big and not too small - well balanced carry handle and strap -… Read more

good flow - adjustable spray pattern - no reliability issues (for the first month at least) - and the best part is that it is SO much better than a manual sprayer

Even if all of the negative reviews are correct, I've got a standard warranty of 4 years as well as an extended warranty of 2 years, so apart from a small inconvenience getting it replaced I've got 6 years of guaranteed use for less than $100.

This has given fault free performance – I have had my Ryobi 18V garden sprayer for approx 5 years now and having read some negative reports felt obliged to say that over the period of time, I have used it frequently and have never had a problem with it. I have always used it with Roundup and it it is getting older now and I have had two occasions where it has taken a while to prime but… Read more

once it does, it still works perfectly. I consider it an excellent investment and it has paid for itself. I certainly have enough confidence in this product to go out now and by the seven litre tank so that I can do foliar spraying with fertilizer.

Great product. Very easy to use – Having used the hand pump action sprayers for years I was very happy to see that Ryobi had a sprayer in their One collection. I have been using it for about 4 months and I am very happy with it. I would recommend it. Show details

Don’t put chemicals into measuring cup – After only putting in chemicals twice into the measuring cup this cup, started to crack and disintegrate after only 4 to 5 months. Call Ryobi and they said that the measuring cup only has a three month warranty, but the whole product itself has a four year warranty what a joke. Show details

Junk sprayer – Last week, I took this sprayer back to HD . This is the third time Home Depot replaced it without any questions. Wonderful but I’m getting a little tired of having this thing break and I have to run back to Home Depot. This is a low end box store sprayer. Come on Ryobi , you can do better. Show details

Absolutely not. I cannot rate it because I can’t use – Bought one 2 years ago and went to use it today and the hose cracked and sprayed chems all over me. Bought a new one today and the pump will not prime. I’ll try a dewalt. And will probably end up with cancer after being covered in weed killer.

I'm a big Ryobi fan but wish I'd never bought this! – I purchased the Ryobi 18v sprayer from Bunnings. I'm typically a huge fan of Ryobi and own 30+ other 18v and 36v tools. However, unlike other Ryobi products, this one is really poor quality. I managed to break it within the first week. Some of the issues with this product are: - The plastic housing is weak and snaps easily under the weight of… Read more

the liquid. This is not covered under the warranty. - The measuring filler cup/cap cracks easily during tightening. Replacement costs ~$30 and are not covered under warranty. - It leaks under normal operation.

Didn’t last - Disappointed – Purchased and within 12 months the measuring filler cup/cap cracked. Contacted Ryobi to be advised that I could purchase a new cup/cap ($30 - almost a 1/3 of the original cost). Then six months later the motor failed. Have used Ryobi products for years. So much for quality and customer service. Will look to other products on the market. Show details

One gallon Ryobi One chemical sprayer Continuous clogging – The inlet filter is too fine. The only liquid I have found that doesn't clog it is water. Ryobi should offer a filter with a coarser mesh. Also battery needed replacement after 7-8 uses. Show details

Poor quality, battery warranty not honoured – Where the black plastic tubing enters the container leaked from the 1st time I used it and I am constantly getting pest spray on my legs when using. The brass spray attachment only sprays at a very high volume and only seems able to be adjusted to solid stream and spray stream, unlike most other nozzle tips. I have been very disappointed with the… Read more

quality and the battery stopped working within the warranty period and even though I have a serial or production number linked with the purchase on the supplier’s or manufacturer’s database they will not replace at Bunnings or respond vis their online form.

Poor quality and faulty – 1st one pump failed with first 10 uses. Second one replaced under warranty and used twice in 6 weeks pump seemed to cut out on pressure a number of times as expected but mostly ran non stop even when not triggered with pretty poor pressure. Show details

Ryobi rubbish – I sold all my ryobi 36 volt rubbish after all 4 batteries failed to charge just out of their 3 year warranty, check the price of ryobi batteries lol. This 18v sprayer was no exception, it leaked continuously, stopped pumping, was noisy and lacked pressure. I would never purchase another Ryobi product 12 or 36 volt or petrol based on my experiences… Read more

and other bad reviews Do yourself a favour and check out Ozito, cheaper, better and reasonably priced replacement batteries, great warranty and a no questions return policy.

not spraying after one use – I tried using my RYOBI garden sprayer today and it would not work, however on inspection i notice that the unit was pumping air into the container instead of sucking the fluid out. anyone have a solution.

Agree with others about the ryobi sprayer – I have used my sprayer 4 times. Battery is charged but the motor seems to have packed up. Love all my other ryobi tools but like most other reviews, I am very disappointed .

Doesn't spray – Purchased it last year and it seemed to work quite well, (not a very big spray) and now it doesn't spray at all. I've tried all kinds of adjustments but now a piece of trash to be disposed.

Stopped spraying after first use – The unit stopped working after one use. Did not even use harsh chemicals in it. The battery was charged and the motor sounded like it was running, but the unit not spraying out anything at all. Show details

Just a stream not a spray – Can't get my sprayer to spray when adjusting the nozzle it just wants to make a stream. Tried turning nozzle like instructions say but still same results its fluttering ugh

Stopped Spraying! – Bought a 2 Gallon Chemical Sprayer back in July of 2020. Worked great and was quite happy with it. Stored it for the winter in the basement after I cleaned it out. Started to spray in April of 2021 and it worked for about 30 seconds and then stopped spraying with the motor still on. It seemed it was not spraying from the the head unit where the motor is enclosed. Very disappointed. The Company chat site was not very helpful.  Show details

Stopped working after one year – Used one year and worked find , this year I cleaned and charged and wit worked for 15 seconds and dead, cleaned pick up filter and hose and even took the pump apart and inspected and all looks good and nothing. Don’t buy these things ! Show details

Sprayers quit spraying – I own two Ryobi ONE+ 18V Sprayers. The first year one quit working after 9 months. It will run but nothing will come out of the sprayer. When I got the other one out today it does not work now. Now after about 18 months I own two sprayer that will no longer put liquid from the tanks. I purchased two, one for insect spray and one for roundup. … Read more

When the first one quit I just used the same one and run lots of water through it and changed tanks. Now after 18 month, I have own two worthless sprayers. Do not waist your money on one of these sprayers. They will not last two years and I have two to prove it.

2020 7.5 ltr model - a step up on the last model – This replaced the previous model that was very useful but fragile First the good news: increased tank capacity can actually use all the product in the tank now, instead of leaving a couple of cms in the bottom pump appears to be more powerful Bad news: the capacity markings on the tank are illegible, they werent good on the last model and… Read more

are even worse on this one. ours came with cracked attachment points for the shoulder strap. At 90 minutes to the Bunnings we purchased it at , we will probably just live with it.

The big question is longevity, we will see. Ryobi is offering extended return warranty if you register, which I suppose is good if you live in the city.

Got it to work but ready to return if any more problems – I purchased this from Bunnings just before Christmas because I have had a number of their battery tools and they have been great. It worked perfectly the first time I used it but today it refused to spray - pump was running but nothing came out. So, having read some of the comments here I removed the little filter on the intake tube and the… Read more

sprayer is now working perfectly. (I've kept the filter in case I need to return it!)

I should add that I have owned a 35v Ryobi mower for 6 years, still going strong, 35v edger, 18 volt drill and I also purchased an 18v blower with this sprayer. I have found Ryobi products to be well priced and reliable so I would not can them for this one small problem

Absolutely Terrible. DO NOT BUY – Worked 1st time, rinsed with water, worked second time rinsed with water. Approx 8 months later it does work at all. I don't have receipt. Bunnings refuse to acknowledge me without receipt even though box states 6yrs warranty and im pretty sure these things haven't been out for six years. Wrote review on Ryobi website, no response. Based on… Read more

reviews this is clearly a known issue with Ryobi burying their head! With 10+ Ryobi One products ill be transitioning to Makita.... very very disappointed in experience.

Oh no, not you Ryobi Sprayer! – I bought my Ryobi sprayer with high hopes as I have the +one other model items (circular saw, 18volt drill and whipper snipper). I was excited. First use it lasted 5 seconds then nothing. Totally stopped working. Battery fully charged. I emptied out the existing mixture and added a new clean batch. Still nothing - stopped in frustration. I then… Read more

jumped on to a product review and found out about the minute filter and the difficulties with this. I have decided to take it back. Soo disappointed. It shouldn't be this hard to spray weeds, as I have a large block figures - it's Ryobi so it should be good. Honestly don't spend $100 on it. I'm too sad for words!!!

Don't buy – Just bought a new Ryobi battery operated weed sprayer and after less than 5 minutes of spraying already having problems with it spraying. Son is looking at it, but right now, I would not purchase again and this will probably go back to the store. For $100 dollars I would at least think it would last a couple of years. Worst product I have brought brand new to have issues so soon after purchase. Show details

Lasted one use last spring. Piece of junk with no back up service from Bunnings. Show details
