Review on 💦 Zep Professional Sprayer Bottle 32 Ounces (case of 2): Convenient and Efficient Spray Dispensing Containers for Everyday Use by Bill Russett

I don't often write reviews but wanted to share my experience. I was disappointed when I bought the "Premium" spray bottles and found them to be a bit inferior to the cheap/large bottles. Short review: Definitely better sealing, innovative nozzle design and powerful jet. To be honest, I can't say if this is the best option, but it's certainly a very good option. Pros: The first thing I noticed is that they fit very snugly. For example, if you compress a bottle, air and liquid will not leak (or leak) through the threaded connection between the bottle and the spray head. As I was writing this, I double-checked by squeezing very hard (to the point where I was concerned about damaging/deforming the bottle) and the seal did not break. This of course had to be completed when the nozzle was closed. Squeezing with an open nozzle will result in some leakage through the nozzle, but you have to press surprisingly hard. Please note that I work with basic household cleaners, so I can't comment on how well they seal off volatile chemicals (like acetone, solvents, etc.). I didn't think I would ever write the phrase "innovative nozzle design". , but it applies here. The novelty is that the nozzle goes from stuck to large mist to heavy flow with a very short twist (with a hard stop at the end of the twist). This description is not entirely correct, but in fact the nozzle allows you to adjust the spray pattern very easily and precisely. By turning the nozzle slightly to the closed position, you close it completely without having to screw it in with some force (like most nozzles). When releasing the nozzle, the hard stopper completely eliminates the "over release" that also occurs with my syringes. The spray function itself works very well. It pumps a lot of volume in one stroke (I haven't measured it, but it seems big). It can produce a very nice large fog to a powerful jet with a long shot. CONS: There are two disadvantages and both have more to do with the bottle than the spray head. The first downside is that this bottle uses a standard sized bottle neck, which isn't very convenient when you're trying to pour liquids into it without a funnel. Not a big minus, because this is the standard on almost all syringes. The next downside is that this bottle (and atomizer) is very large. This is not very practical for storage under the sink, for example. Although it actually fits under my sink. Since it is very high, it is also easier to tip over. For me it wasn't a problem at all, but I can imagine that it bothers people in some applications. Heh, at least if it tips over it won't leak. To be honest I have a hard time thinking of other downsides. A NOTICE. I've only filled this bottle a few times, so I can't comment on durability yet. However, I bought two different premium brands where the piston started slipping even before the first filling, so this wins in terms of durability. Likewise, I didn't rate its performance using the various crazy chemicals people tend to put in their sprayers. However, I suppose it will hold up better than average. To be honest, if you're using a chemical/solvent harsh enough to ruin this, you should probably invest in a pressurized pump tank with an industrial nozzle/sprayer (think something similar to the ones on the rear-mounted exterminator).
