Backpack sprayers are handy tools that make gardening or yard work much easier. These sprayers let you apply pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals to plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, and lawns.

Backpack sprayers work by pumping a cleaning solution through a tube that attaches to the handle. Then, you attach a length of hose to the sprayer and pump it the rest of the way. The sprayer then sprays the solution onto the target area, where it spreads out to cover a wider area.

Backpack sprayers come in all shapes and sizes. There are handheld sprayers, which are perfect for small areas and hard-to-reach spots. There are also backpack sprayers, which are ideal if you're applying chemicals to a larger area. For homeowners, backpack sprayers are ideal because they allow you to apply the chemicals directly to plants or trees, which cuts down on time spent spraying.

Our backpack sprayers test lab evaluates performance, ease of use, and cleanup. We also evaluate how each sprayer sprays, including the number of sprays per minute, the spray pattern, and the range of the spray. Here are the best backpack sprayers to buy in 2022:

A Beast for All Spraying NeedsComed with a Metal Wand extended up to 43 inch and 20 Inch Plastic Wand, the lawn sprayer allows the stream to easily reach the top of two story house from ground level. You will like how far the wand extends which also comes in handy if you're spraying chemicals, keeping the mist spray as far away from you. Multiple nozzles included makes it ideal for misting, fertilizing, and applying micro-nutrient liquids to control nurseries, flowers, gardens, orchards.

Weve used and reviewed several sprayers for weed, and while most worked as advertised, some had issues. This KIMO was the one we kept coming back to, thanks to its ease of use, its solid design, and its quality construction. It sprays straight, evenly, and at high pressure, and the 3-gallon tank has a fairly large capacity. The 4-inch wide mouth opening and molded-in gallon markers make it easy to precisely measure and fill the sprayer. The sprayers adjustable spray head has 23 and 43-inch extensions, which means you no longer have to struggle with small spraying heads, and its four-way 360-degree nozzle makes it easy to target weeds in different directions. The sprayers 2.0Ah battery lasts long, and we like that the sprayer comes with a battery, a charger, and a long wand. The only letdown is the batterys charge indicator light, which lights up red when the batterys power is at 50% and turns green when the battery is fully charged. Also, the sprayers battery compartment is top-loading, which means you have to remove the battery to get to the charge port. The sprayers design is practical, too, with a frame thats supported by a backpack and detachable strap pads. The sprayers pump is easy to operate and its lockable switch eliminates user fatigue. We like the sprayers design, which is durable, sturdy, and designed to be used by aging home users.

Durable Design: The sprayers thick body is made of a new, highly durable orange plastic that will not fracture when dropped and is built to last; Translucent bottle includes a viewing window to check the water level

The VIVOSUN 4 Gallon Battery Powered Backpack Sprayer with Four Nozzles is a practical and easy to use sprayer, and it's particularly well suited for applications where you need a wide coverage area. This sprayer is most efficient at spraying and covering large areas, and it does a good job of keeping unwanted particles out of the water (the sprayer has an adjustable nozzle that allows you to control how much water comes out of each nozzle). We particularly like the rechargeable battery, which has 3-4 times the efficiency (and longer runtime) of regular pump-action sprayers. The rechargeable battery also eliminates the need for manual pumping, and it has a 4-gallon capacity, so it's large enough to cover large areas. This sprayer is heavier than other electric pump-action sprayers, but it feels great on your shoulder, and it's more comfortable to use than a hand pump. The sprayer is also easy to operate: simply turn the bar on the top to spray, and turn it to the left to stop. The sprayer has four different nozzles, and it's programmable, so you can control the coverage area. It also has a built-in filter, so it keeps unwanted particles out of the water. This sprayer is slightly more expensive than other electric pump-action sprayers, but it's durable, and it's well-designed and easy to use.

The BLACK+DECKER BXSP19065 20V MAX Multi-Use 4-Gallon Backpack Sprayer is a handheld, battery-powered sprayer that did a good job of misting cleaning solutions onto our floors. While it's not the most powerful sprayer we tested, it did a better than average job of cleaning our floors of dirt, pet hair, and stains. It's capable of spraying up to 50 gallons of liquid per charge (roughly 10 gallons per minute) and stores 4.5 gallons of solution in a built-in tank.

The sprayer is lightweight, making it comfortable to hold. The sprayer has a 1-year limited warranty.

DURABLE COMPONENTS: Updates include a black UV-resistant hose, waterproofed electrical parts and ComfortStraps vest system.

The FlowZone Storm 2.5 is a fantastic pressure washer for homeowners who want a powerful, yet lightweight, cordless unit that can reach great heights. Its performance is on par with higher-end, corded models, but because of the battery, the Storm 2.5's flow rate is much lower and its run time shorter. However, the Storm 2.5 is still plenty powerful for many applications, including cleaning your car, washing your siding and deck, and cleaning your patio or driveway. The included 18V lithium-ion battery provides up to 2.5 hours of continuous spraying and is rated for 1,000 charge cycles. The battery life is also much longer than that of cordless pressure washers, which typically run for half an hour or so before requiring a charge. The Storm 2.5 has a 5-position dial, which makes it easier to match the pressure to your cleaning task. The sprayer can reach up to 25-feet vertically or horizontally, making it a great unit for cleaning high walls, gutters, windows, and patio furniture. The Storm 2.5's plastic barrel is durable and lightweight, and its spray nozzle is adjustable to a number of angles. The sprayer also comes with two stainless steel nozzle attachments, a 0-degree and a 45-degree angle nozzle, which allow you to tackle a variety of cleaning jobs. The FlowZone Storm 2.5 is our favorite cordless pressure washer, and it's an excellent value, too.
