Quality pump sprayer?

The last five years I've been through 3 pump sprayers, they eventually just stop holding pressure.
What's a good quality one?

I bought a Solo sprayer from Amazon and it's awesome. It was around $35 for a 2 gallon sprayer and it feels way more heavy duty than the Chapin cheapos I was buying from Home Depot. It's on it's 3rd year and still solid.
Amazon $34

what are you looking for? like a big backpack sprayer?
i buy the cheap $10 ones from lowes and have my different chemicals in each one. i think i have about 5 between misc herbicides, misc insecticides, etc... i haven't had one wear out yet but if it does, it's only $10. I have a huskvarna backpack and use it only for roundup. i've had it for years and it sat out in the sun 2 summers behind my shed, still works great.

Echo is solid. I also have a cheapo "Bleach" HDX sprayer that has seen all kinds of chemicals through it without issue so far. The Echo is what I use for Jomax and degreasers and I'vehad for about 5 years, the HDX for pesticides/herbicides and got it some months ago.

What are you putting in there and are you leaving them pressurized? They sell Oring kits for cheap to fix them? I'm sure its just O-rings going bad.

I got a husqvarna from Tractor supply thinking that would last a long time, but it was about two years.
I always depressurize and keep inside.
I use it for herbicide.

well doing a/c work we would go through them like crazy. boss would buy them in lots of 25 at a time.
we got some from ace when his supplier was late and those lasted us all year trouble free.
i cant say what the real name brand ace sells but it just says ace on them. the pump things never had the issues all those other sprayers had. in real world use i found they were the best.
we used them to spray the coils with caustic acid cleaners

I can't speak to how long it will last but no more pumping for me. No sir, none of that nonsense at all.
So far I love it.
There are 1 and 2 gallon versions.

I’ve had a 3gl backpack Solo for over 10 years now. I never leave chemicals in it longer than a weekend. I also rinse it several times after every use. On The last rinse pressure it up and clean out the hose and sprayer also.

Solo sprayers have a two year home warranty. I had an issue with a one year old pump sprayer and needed a new shutoff valve, I called up and they sent me a new one.
It was one of the better customer service experiences I’ve had.

I have the 2 gal Chapin Pro series (model 26021XP) and it's 3 years strong with no signs of wear.

They are very easy to fix. Take off the pump and inside are some o-rings. Replace them and the gasket, lube up well with silicone grease and it’s like new again. Blow out the nozzle with compressed air as well.

Running the cheap hdx ones for small applications as others. They’re like $7 for a one gallon, they break, trash they go. I have a Husqvarna back pack I’ve already repaired once in the last couple years. Grant it, I don’t drain or rinse it each use. My next one will be a Stihl, Echo, Shindiawa or such. You can easily get replacement parts and local shops typically have said parts.
