CHAMPION PS257

Advantages: The sprayer was delivered quickly, in a box, without damage. The lid of the solution tank closes hermetically, nothing spills. It is only necessary to drown the filter cup below the level of the neck by about 1 cm; upon delivery, this cup hangs on the neck itself and there will be no tightness. The first launch is a bit tricky, but if you do everything according to the instructions, then the rules. Subsequent launches from the first poke, either cold or hot. The carburetor is real, 3 screws: quantity, quality of the mixture and idle speed - everything is adjustable, which is very nice. The most important advantages are power, it easily breaks through dense bushes and the presence of a pump, with it the jet hits upward about 5 m. I have an old one without a pump, upwards in no way, only horizontally. For the winter, the device must be removed, stored at a positive temperature, then there will be no problems with the pump next season.

Disadvantages: The sprayer sleeve is a bit short for me, the spray starts very close to my face. An old Chinese man, without a name, had a longer one and included extension pipes. Now they will come in handy, the diameter is the same. I would also like to have a couple of spare diffusers in the kit, they break at times, because they constantly cling to everything when carrying.

Comment: But in general, the impressions are only good, everything works with a bang, it performs its functions 100%.

Advantages: Snotty but works.

Disadvantages: Very snotty (that is, everything was done on snot)

Comment: I bought it 5-6 years ago. A very flimsy design, the cover gland is defective, let it pass and crumbled in the first year. Spray tube nozzles fly off. There was a defect with the fuel tank (leaking in the tube). Permanent carburetor problem. The gas trigger broke in the second year. This year the corrugation broke. The valve in the gas tank lid crumbled in the second year. The spray collection tube is constantly flying out of the base. The pump broke in the first year - I did not do it, as I adapted without it. In the 3rd year I bought my native champion oil, after the first use, smoke went out and the sprayer died - I had to take it for repairs. They complained about the oil, you can prove it in the store. Since then I have taken only proven brands of oil (Makita, Briggs, etc.). But I worked with dignity for 3-4 years. Now I'm completely dead, I can no longer find the reason. I will look for a new one. But I'm afraid that for this price, I won't find anything better. He worked out his money, so it makes sense to take another one. In addition, there are all spare parts for it in stock. (but still I do not exclude other manufacturers, you need to try)

Advantages: Power, processing speed, convenient.

Disadvantages: After the purchase, the candle died immediately, heavy, fully tucked, you need to wear it from a stool in order to lift it on your shoulders, after wintering, the solution supply pump was covered. The bearing is jammed, the plastic drive tore off, the part was ordered, changed, it is possible without it, but tall trees cannot be processed. I bought spare parts in stock.

Comment: Have a good candle in stock, drain the water from the pump for storage, or, alternatively, fill it with oil, if you are not confident in your abilities, do not take it, it is easy to work, but even a healthy man can lift and put a full tank on his shoulders , comes from the table or chair, from the ground is very hard. But the device has been pleasing for three years, 150 apple trees for three refueling and an hour of time. The price can be found at 9-10 tons.

Advantages: Everything works as it should. It performs its functions perfectly. It looks decent. Excellent value compared to the competition.

Disadvantages: The fuel intake hose was bent upward in the tank. Because of this, with a remainder of a third of the tank, it stalls. I had to edit.

Comment: General impressions are positive. There were no problems with the first start, as in other reviews. I am happy with everything.

Advantages: Price. Simplicity. Strangely enough reliability.

Disadvantages: First start-up of the unit.

Comment: I am professionally engaged in disinfection. We poison bugs, ticks. The unit is used during the period, April-June. Analogue of calm. Only calm over 30 is worth. I had to suffer with the first launch for about an hour. But now it is like a Kalashnikov assault rifle. I recommend it for people who do not hesitate to use Chinese technology.

Advantages: Collected out of the box without any problems. Started the engine. Everything is as in the instructions. Tried so far only for liquid chemicals. The weight of course, together with gasoline and 10 liters of solution, is too much - about 24 kg. Therefore, I put it on my back from the table. I poured a liter of fuel, 10 liters of chemistry on the table, started it and put it on my back. My apple trees are tall and, due to their age, watering with a hand sprayer from a high stepladder has already become problematic and long. And here from the ground he processed six apple trees 4-6 meters high and 6 small trees in 20 minutes without haste (taking into account the preparation of a solution of copper sulfate, 4 buckets). I am very pleased with the result and purchase.

Disadvantages: I found out that on one side at the bottom the metal bracket for attaching the shoulder strap had already parted, which could lead to the fact that one strap of the backpack could come off. I had to squeeze the pliers all the time in the first couples. In the future, it must either be replaced or strengthened. Also, upon careful examination of the attachment point of this bracket to the sprayer frame, I realized that there is also a weak point - plastic and you need to be careful to put it on yourself, so as not to create unnecessary stress on this weak belt attachment point (plastic and metal bracket).

Comment: Let's see how long it will live before the first repair.

Advantages: affordable price, long spraying distance, can handle tall trees

Disadvantages: heavy

Comment: bought for the garden, since the trees are very tall, it was simply unrealistic to process with an ordinary sprayer. A tank of 14 liters plus the weight of the sprayer itself is another 11 kg with a small tail, it turns out quite a bit.But since the sprayer is powerful, liquid is consumed quickly. The vibration is not strong from it, the noise is also tolerable, headphones are not needed. Worth its money.

Advantages: works with both powder and solution.

Disadvantages: I need to get used to it, I use such equipment for the first time

Comment: I started working with the sprayer by treating trees. The pressure is uniform, I treated all the trees, I did not get tired when working with a sprayer. So far I have worked only with a solution, but when buying, I chose such a model so that powder could be used. The tank with the solution was not completely filled in order to at least slightly reduce the weight. The sprayer is not perfect, but quite good for the money. I consider it suitable for greenhouses and a garden.

There is experience in using Champion equipment, so I chose a sprayer from this brand. The sprayer cost me about 12 thousand with delivery. Massive sprayer, suitable for men, I think it is better for women to find a lighter model. It sprays with good pressure and can be used both for trees and greenhouses.
