Good product. Bad support.

published

Purchased the back pack about 18 months ago and is used once a week. Performs to spec and is a solid unit that we never had a problem with until recently. Needed to replace the lance due to wear and tear.
The spare parts road with this product is a long one. The website has nothing (until recently) for spare parts and the help on the phone from Silvan is a joke.
The special orders people at Bunnings were great, and managed to get 2 replacement lances but the tips were different. Silvan said “It’s just how they come”. Very ordinary effort Silvan.
Overall it has been a great product but the support could be much better!

Purchased in September 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse.

Do not buy

published

Was great at the start. Worked well, quick and easy to charge and use. However after 18 months it would not turn on or recharge at all. Completely died on me. I had only used it 4 times. To sell a product for $180 it should be reliable and last 10 years. I took it back to Bunnings berri with my receipt and they would not take it back- said it has a 1 year warranty . So I am stuck with a plastic container that cost me 180 bucks not happy at all. Do not buy this product and make the same mistake Me.



Purchased in May 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse for A$180.00.

Replaced once, second one no good either!

The first sprayers pump failed after a few uses. The replacement sprayer has a dodgy pressure sensing switch but is now out of warranty. I'm deeply regretting the $179 I spent on this sprayer. It has done very little work at all.

Poor customer support

Have a Silvan packpack sprayer. It stopped working and I have been unable to get spare parts for it. It is now useless. I would not buy another Silvan product

Faulty

published

Problems with starting. Very temperamental. When it goes it is okay but unpredictable. Wheels too small. Handle comes out not enough lead. Battery charger goes from green to red when it is charged. Obviously not made correctly. Indicator dial not accurate. Goes for just over 1and half hours and has to be charged for at least 8 hours each time. Was out of warranty by time we got to use it. Needs bigger wheels and better handle and this would improve it. Priced okay but I would pay more if it was more reliable. I would purchase 2 good ones if I could be assured they were not so moody. We have one acre of grounds around various paths.

Expensive to run

published

Good and east to use. however the pump broke down after around a dozen uses or less. A new pump costs $79/- which must be replaced. the product was out of warranty hence I have to buy a new pump. Be prepared to spend a lot of money on this item.

Help

I love using this sprayer but the first one carked it after about 5 hours. Just wouldn't turn on. Checked connections, fuse, charger, all as the manual suggests,couldn't see a problem. Bunnings replaced it with a new one. Same thing has happened after 3 hours. Frustrated, I have weeds to kill!

Happy, going to buy another.

My job is lawn mowing and I use sprayer with weed management. It's never leaked unlike my last pump one, had to wear a rain coat. Just about to buy a new one to have a different chemical for buffalo lawns. For larger area's it's so easy to use. Highly recommend.

Perfect

published

We must have had about 20 cheap and not so cheap pressure sprayers and they had one thing in common, they were all disappointing. We are both getting on and the pumping and leaking of sprayers drove us batty. So bit the bullet and bought this rechargeable sprayer yesterday and used it today.

Not much to its assembly but followed instructions and it worked perfectly. We have a large corner block and the road side boundary is mulched and it is covered in weeds. Sprayed it in under an hour, cleaned up and not much energy and NO emotional torment was expended.

As I said it is cleaned up and the proof will be in the next round of spraying in Spring. Will get back to you!
