Quick Answer
We would start with the Chapin 20004 1-gallon, the lowest price at $15.49. The Chapin 16200 2-gallon is $27.65, and the Solo 211 1-gallon is $34.06 with a 1 year warranty listed on the Solo site. The Hudson 90162 2-gallon ($59.98) is the most expensive hand pump model here, and its manual lists two nozzles (fan or cone) and a 1 year warranty. If you would rather not pump by hand, the Husqvarna 598 96 76-01 is a 2-gallon battery powered sprayer at $115.35, with a 48 inch hose, a 25 inch stainless steel wand, and a 7.2V battery and charger; see Husqvarna’s warranty page for its terms. Chapin’s product pages list a 1 year limited warranty for both Chapin sprayers. Four are hand pump sprayers, one is battery powered, and all are available on Amazon.
- Chapin 20004 SureSpray: best for gardeners with small jobs who want a 1 gallon sprayer with a 34 in hose and an adjustable cone nozzle at the lowest price.
- Chapin 16200: best for gardeners who want a 2 gallon tank made in the USA, with a 34 in hose and an adjustable cone nozzle.
- Solo 211: best for gardeners who want reach: a 3 ft hose and a 2 ft wand on a 1 gallon tank.
- Hudson 90162: best for buyers who want a 2 gallon tank with a braided hose, an in-line filter, Viton seals and two nozzle patterns (fan or cone).
- Husqvarna 598 96 76-01 Battery: best for buyers who want a battery powered 2 gallon sprayer with a 48 in hose, a 25 in stainless steel wand and three nozzles.

A pump sprayer applies weed killer, fertilizer, and cleaners, either with a hand pump or, on a battery model, with a small compressor. We put two Chapin models, a Solo, a Hudson, and a Husqvarna battery sprayer, all with 1 or 2 gallon tanks, side by side on price, tank size, hose, nozzles, and warranty, so you can see what each one offers.
How We Chose
We compared five garden sprayers from Chapin, Solo, Hudson, and Husqvarna, all available on Amazon: four 1 to 2 gallon hand pump sprayers and one 2 gallon battery powered sprayer. The sprayers are not identical: two are 1-gallon tanks and three are 2-gallon tanks, the Husqvarna pressurizes itself with a 7.2V battery instead of a hand pump, and the hose and wand lengths and the number of nozzles differ. Each cell names the manufacturer page or manual it comes from, and where a value was not published we say so. Chapin’s product page for the 16200 confirms its specs, and Chapin’s page for the nearest 1 gallon model, the 20000, matches the 20004 listing. Solo’s product page for the 211 supplied the specs shown for it. Hudson’s product page and its manual for the 90162 supplied the Hudson cells, and Hudson does not publish a hose or wand length. Husqvarna’s product page for the 598 96 76-01 supplied the Husqvarna cells, and it gives no warranty term, so that cell points to Husqvarna’s warranty page. We took each warranty term from the manufacturer’s own website. Prices are Amazon prices checked in October 2026 and can change.

Best for: gardeners who want reach: a 3 ft hose and a 2 ft wand on a 1 gallon tank.
We would pick this Solo for reach, with a 3 ft hose and a 2 ft wand on a 1-gallon tank.

Check Price on Amazon →Hudson 90162 Super Sprayer Professional 2 Gallon Sprayer, Poly
$59.98 as of Oct 12, 2026, 6:24 pm CT on Amazon · braided hose
Best for: buyers who want a 2 gallon tank with a braided hose, an in-line filter, Viton seals and two nozzle patterns (fan or cone).
We would pick this Hudson for its build details: a braided hose with an in-line filter, Viton seals, and two nozzle patterns (fan or cone). Hudson’s product page lists a 2 gallon translucent tank, a chemical resistant braided hose with an in-line filter, an ergonomic shut-off handle with a lock-on thumb trigger, Viton seals, and an automatic pressure release valve. Hudson’s manual for the 90162 and 90163 lists two nozzles with a choice of fan or cone patterns and states a 1 year warranty. Hudson does not publish a hose or wand length, so we show none. It costs the most of the four hand pump sprayers here. It is available on Amazon.

Check Price on Amazon →Husqvarna 2 Gallon Battery Handheld Sprayer for Lawn and Garden
$115.35 as of Oct 12, 2026, 6:24 pm CT on Amazon · battery powered, highest price
Best for: buyers who want a battery powered 2 gallon sprayer with a 48 in hose, a 25 in stainless steel wand and three nozzles.
We would pick this Husqvarna if you do not want to pump by hand. Husqvarna’s product page for the 598 96 76-01 lists a 2 gallon tank, a 48 inch reinforced PVC hose, a 25 inch stainless steel wand with a poly liner, a three nozzle kit (brass adjustable, red poly high-volume fan and yellow poly high-volume fan), a 7.2V battery with charger included, an on/off switch, and a pressure release valve. It is the only battery powered sprayer here, and it costs nearly twice as much as the Hudson, the next highest price. Husqvarna’s product page does not give a warranty term, so we point to Husqvarna’s warranty page for the details. It is available on Amazon.
Warranty: See Husqvarna Warranty page for details.
Check Price on Amazon →Our Take
We would start with the Chapin 1-gallon if price matters most, since it is the cheapest, and the Chapin 2-gallon holds twice as much for about $12 more. If you want reach, we like the Husqvarna with its 48 inch hose and 25 inch wand, or the Solo with its 3 ft hose and 2 ft wand. The Hudson costs the most of the hand pump models, and its manual lists two nozzle patterns (fan or cone) with a 1 year warranty, but Hudson publishes no hose or wand length. If you would rather not pump by hand, the Husqvarna is the battery powered pick here at $115.35, with a 7.2V battery and charger included. We suggest picking the tank size that matches your yard, since a full 2-gallon tank is heavier to carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size pump sprayer do I need?
We would choose by job size. The sprayers here hold 1 or 2 gallons. A 1-gallon tank is lighter and fine for spot treating weeds, while a 2-gallon tank covers more area between refills but weighs more when full. The Husqvarna battery sprayer holds 2 gallons.
Can I use these sprayers for weed killer and fertilizer?
We would check the seal and chemical notes for the model you buy before spraying anything. Chapin’s page for the 16200 says its nitrile seals and gaskets handle standard lawn and garden chemicals, and Hudson’s product page says its Viton seals withstand bleach and other harsh chemicals. We also suggest rinsing the tank between products.
Do these pump sprayers have a warranty?
Chapin’s product pages list a 1 year limited warranty for both Chapin sprayers. The Solo product page lists 1 year, and Hudson’s manual for the 90162 states a 1 year warranty. Husqvarna’s product page for the 598 96 76-01 does not give a term, so we point to Husqvarna’s warranty page for the details.
Which nozzle types do these sprayers include?
We would compare them this way: the Chapin listings describe an adjustable cone nozzle, the Solo lists a plastic adjustable nozzle that is TeeJet compatible, Hudson’s manual lists two nozzles with a choice of fan or cone patterns, and Husqvarna’s page lists a three nozzle kit (brass adjustable, red poly high-volume fan, yellow poly high-volume fan).
Is a battery powered pump sprayer worth it?
We would decide by how often you spray. A battery sprayer such as the Husqvarna 598 96 76-01 removes the hand pumping and comes with a 7.2V battery and charger, but it costs $115.35 here, compared with $15.49 to $59.98 for the hand pump models.
