so far, so good! 
2008-08-05
I'm happy that I read the reviews before buying this sprayer. Realizing that you do have to keep the wheels moving most of the time helped tremendously.
I really like it so far, used it two hours today. No problems! Sure don't miss wagging around that one gallon sprayer and having to stop and pump; not to mention making several trips to re-fill it.
A word of advice; when the tank starts to get low, if you'll push the sprayer, rather than pull it, it puts more pressure on the wheels, to keep the pressure built up better. (ecspecially in gravel)
I really liked the fact that when you re-fill the tank, there is no pressure in the holding tank itself. Therefore, I didn't have a hard time getting the top off, and no yucky spewing as with the hand pump sprayers.
You do a lot of walking, but I need the exercise anyway, so I'm not complaining.
If you have a wide area to spray, walk up and back spraying a small path works best, since you lose pressure by stopping and spraying for long periods. Having said that, this sprayer is absolutely perfect for fence lines!
As far as the hose goes, the hose is a little long for me, but I'm 5'1", fairly short, so I'm sure someone taller wouldn't have that problem. I'm going to use a plastic wire tie on it next time I use it to see if that is better.
If you are petite or are not use to pulling weight, you might want to put just a couple gallons in, until you get use to it.
Thanks to everyone who wrote reviews!!! It really helped reading them, and was mostly the reason I bought this specific sprayer. I'm glad, so far, that I did!

Convenient, easy to use, enjoy being able to roll rather than carry, and much more convenient to not have to manually pump while working for an extended period of time.
Needs more pressure

This seemed to be a well built machine but it had a lack of lasting pressure. wheeling it all the way across the yard, we couldnt even finish spraying one bush. We ended up sending it back.
Great sprayer for big properties

If you need to walk a great deal to spray all the plants on your property then you might find this product helpful in a sense that you don't have to carry the container with your hand or on your back. But you need to walk a lot to make sure that there is enough pressure in the sprayer otherwise you will run out of it before long. The wand that comes wiht the Gilmour Sprayer W4 is nothing to impress!! I will have to buy another wand with extension in other to reach areas that I was able to before with my hand sprayer. It's a bummer to make another expense and pay again for shipping... Overall I am satisfied besides what is mentioned above.
LOT EASIER THAN A HAND PUMP SPRAYER

The 1st sprayer I received was busted in shipping.I'd suggest that the product inside the original container be wrapped in bubble wrap or given protection before being placed in the Amazon.com shipping box. I was not happy about this. I requested a replacement, filled it liquid plant food and it worked nicely. The only problem was that it was leaking from the bottom. Tightening the drain seems to have corrected this. The price was cheaper than others I'd checked and the free shipping was great!
Fantastic product BUTTTTTTTTT

Wheel Pump sprayer pressurizes itself as you roll it back and forth. Dispense pest sprays, herbicides and fertilizers without repetitive hand pumping orlugging. The translucent, UV-resistant tank lets you keep track of remaining liquid. Features leak-proof chemical-resistant seals, pressure-reliefvalve and extra-wide mouth for easy filling and cleaning. Wand (16") and hose (72") store onhandle.

We have a fairly large yard and my husband , for medical reasons, can't do the things he used to do. I bought this so he did not have to carry or manually pump anything. It works great and he really likes it. Glad we went for the 4 gallon size.
Gilmour wheel pump

The pump works well. The smaller version is without a doubt a better choice. When this pump is filled it is heavy and ackward to handle. The wand is very cheaply made, this should have been made of medal rather than plastic. After being in the sun, the wand curled. I would recommend to anyone interested, don't buy the 4-Gallon, buy the smaller version.

So far so good! I have a long and wide gravel drive and graveled apron up to my barn. The whole weed-killing exercise, which has to be repeated multiple times a year, was getting to be an ordeal--both the pumping and carrying. When I decided to enlarge the area I wanted to keep weed free, I went looking for an alternate solution and found this unit.
I've used it only once, but that was a BIG once as there was so much area to cover. It worked exactly as described with no problems, whatsoever. You roll and it sprays where you aim and shoot. It comes assembled. You just fill and go.
I do wish the hose were a bit longer to allow more maneuverability, but for spraying the ground it was adequate and was soooo much better than the other versions I'm not complaining too loudly. I also wish the tank were clearly marked with gallon lines and max fill level. There are notches and you know the capacity is four gallons, so it's not too hard to figure out, however.
I always had enough pressure to spray even when standing still, although I did roll it back and forth sometimes when there was a lot to spray in one place, to maintain maximum spraying force. All in all, it was well worth the investment--and my weeds are dying on schedule.
Did not work for me.

Great invention that needs tweaking. The drip from the hose is too fine for what I bought this product so had to return it. Maybe the next generation will have the hose at the base to make gravity help the water flow more.
