I have become a big fan of the 'european style' backpack sprayers--by many different suppliers. They are lower profile and more comfortable to use. I have a Shindaiwa (3 years old) that is really nice and has done a good job without leaking. I also spent significantly more on one Birchmeier for some sensitive applications around bent (wanted to make sure we had it right). That sprayer is a Cadillac...holds pressure with less pumping, easy to handle, really nice, but expensive. I do expect, with care, the Birchmeier will last a long time.
