Looks just like one I used to have, held  4.5 to 5 litres.

Was useful being able to use the shoulder strap, so one handed operation meaning you could move curtains etc without stopping spraying.

I was happy with it, but kept snapping the lance and eventually could not get more spare lances so have moved on now to a different one.
Doing the best job in the world as well as I can

I think john Kelly is going to be selling a battery sprayer soon, I saw it at the cleaning show and I am sure he told me he will be stocking it soon.

 it looks like a nice piece of kit.

Surely it cant be that hard to manufacturer a decent electric sprayer with proper brass lance and quick connects?

I bought 4 of the Gorilla ones from the states, the idea is great, however they lack a bit of oomph.

The battery pack easily clicks on and pressurises the air, not pump the liquid.

The lances they come with are pretty crap, just looking for some better ones.

Used 1 for a week now and still have not had to recharge it, they also come with an in car charger.

If battery goes flat, you still have the manual pump, when you have to refill you lose all pressure obviously, I then use the manual pump to get up to pressure, battery kicks in after about a minute, runs constantly as the liquid amount gets less.

They come in 9.5lt or 2.5 US galls or 1.5 US gallons.

Going to try a different spray tip  to up the flow, and see if it keeps up, definitely slower than a hydra force

Restormate do an upgraded heavy duty lance for the IK9 Sprayer with quick connects, had one for 2 years with no issues and it beats the pants of the original brass type which also get very hot. I did change the spray tip as I found the original left a heavy line at the edge of the spray pattern.

Bought mine off window cleaners warehouse, it holds 12 litres and seems to last forever on one charge, its over two years old and i havn't had any real issues with it apart from needing a new rocker switch and a bridging piece after splitting the hose, but for about £140 delivered to your door you cant complain

yep, and the price is very good,
but just two things that might be considered by john :)
the hose clip is too big and does not fit perfectly around the hose what couse leaking, but a bit of tape between the brass and hose and after over the hose fix the problem
and the lance could be bended for better position when spraying
also I found the IK sprayer pump a bit weak, pump is bending when pumping up to hight pressure.

Only problem I've had with WCW sprayer is with the on/off switch not working.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.
