Knapsack Sprayer Recommendations?

My Potatoes

I'm looking to get a new 12/16L knapsack sprayer, such as one of these:

The Faithful:

...or the Draper:

... are getting the best reviews from Amazon.

The Kingfisher seems to do well too on reviews but can't find a website for the manufacturer so I'm a bit wary.

Any suggestions on Boards.ie?

These guys do a knapsack sprayer, I think it's manufactured by Unichem.
Here is the link: Knapsack Sprayer.

Check out Done Deal, not too sure how much delivery is though but might be worth a call.

In my opinion, the Cooper-Pegler is the only sprayer to buy. Your grand children will still be able to get parts for them when they inherit!

I have one for 10 years now, use it for spraying under electric fences etc, still going strong. and not as hard to carry as the 5 gallon models.

Many of the budget sprayers available are made in Italy, and if the pump goes, you will struggle to get parts.

Do you know a place where I can get one online?

These guys seem the cheapest I found with a quick search online. Local agri stores looking about 160 euro, and some of the Irish online agri stores looking nearly 200! (agridirect.ie)

That CP15 sprayer is €200 in the local hardware. Spares aren't to cheap for them either but the plus is that you can get them.

CP 15 is superb. Have had two others which leaked like mad. Cooper Pegler is a dream.

I cant fault osatu at all, I gave back a couple and then got this make recommended on net after a bit of surfing......bout half the price of the cp.

I've done some research online. I've got Berthoud, Solo and Cooper Peglar on my shortlist.
