QuikMix™ Spray Gun 450mL

Bought 2 a couple of years ago. One worked well, the other never did. I should have returned it immediately but I didn’t?? I haven’t had the cracking issue others have mentioned. The Venturi tube gets clogged and can be easily cleared but lately, I have had more serious clogging issues with the good one (after a couple of refills) so I pulled it apart (as much as you can) and cleared it. I noticed that once the lid on top was removed there are 2 receptacle holes in the casing and one of them had a plastic moulded cylinder therein, the other was empty. Checked the ‘dud’ one and found it didn’t have any. I rang the technical support line. The woman could not tell me if this was the reason why it has never worked (when I said that I must have been transferred to the incorrect department, she said I was in the technical support but couldn’t tell me how the thing worked!!). She also advised that there were no spare parts available for the product and that it was out of warranty, which I had already alerted her about anyway and knew. So, I didn’t get the impression that I was being supported.

Very disappointed to have the threaded plastic housing where the bottle screws in disintegrate after just a few uses. It was not over-tightened or damaged, and was stored in a cupboard - so can’t blame UV exposure - and simply failed through designed assembly and use. I wasn’t expecting it to last a lifetime, but I did expect it to last a ‘lot’ longer.

Returned the first one owing to unexpected breakage.. Will be returning the replacement as it doesn't mix properly, probably due to it getting blockages, which you can't clean out due to bad design. You only get what you pay for. Very disappointing.

I purchased from Bunnings on clearance, now I know why! Absolute rubbish. The control dial doesn’t work, I’ve tested it on 1-8 into a ten litre bucket, used 100ml of season everytime per 10 litres. Crap!
I’d take it back for a refund but even Bunnings don’t want it back.

I purchased this last week (Nov 24, 2023, as had a flex day off work) from Nutrien Water in Joondalup WA. Used it for one day to apply wetting agent and liquid fertiliser to my lawn and it all worked great, thinking wow this is a fabulous product. UNTIL. I went to use it last night (1 Dec 2023) and as I was screwing the bottle on to the the plastic thread started to disintegrate and it all fell apart (I did NOT over tighten either). For a product not to last more than one use is appalling. And as Nutrien is only open Monday to Fridays (and I work 7am until 5pm, so it's closed by the time I finish), I do not know when I will get the time to go back and get a refund.
I have read in the thread that Holman have made changes to the product to correct this, but obviously not as they are still breaking. Maybe Holman should recall all of the ones out there and stock with this so called 'corrected' ones.

I brought 2 of these from Bunning, firstly the unit will not stand up on its own falls over unless us over half full.
The second problem is that the units fall over and they break where the bottle threads into the handle, it cracks and falls apart.
Very dissapointed, and would give a “0” if it was possible.
I’ve used many other Holman products and been happy with them

Same as with all other comments about the cracking plastic cap and I've only used it 3 times.
My issue is where the liquid feeder tube pushes into the screw-on cap. It's all broken away making the unit totally useless. In the 2nd photo, there are also signs of stress cracking around the base where the bottle screws into the cap.
It'll be a case of returning it to Bunnings for a replacement but I reckon the same thing will happen again. What then, how many times will they replace it?
Obviously, there is a major issue with the type of plastic used for this component and it'll keep happening forever until Holman gets it sorted out.

Generally a good product, however similar to the reviews below, the collar where the bottle screws into cracked, so longevity of the product is poor.

I love the concept of the product. It worked brilliantly until the screw top to the bottle cracked. I’ve only had it less than a year and it’s been well looked after. Perhaps a metal housing and detachable sprayer so you can screw on a hose attachment to click it into a hose line and distribute through a sprinkler. Also a model with a 1 lt tank.

This is a great product but like most of the other reviews the thread housing cracked and broke. I hope this can be fixed in future models.
