I purchased a 61800 Backpack Sprayer…

I purchased a 61800 Backpack Sprayer and the "PLASTIC CLIP" at the end of the shoulder strap predictably broke. The shoulder strap could tow a car and the plastic clip is the weak link in the design. Th sprayer was kept indoors and was not subject to UV rays that may have been detrimental to the plastic clip over the course of time. I called Chapin customer support and they said they would not supply me with a new strap and or clip. They said I would have to purchase another one. This sprayer holds 15 liters of fluid or 3.96 gallons that weighs 35 pounds. The design is obviously flawed and or a designed failure so my neighbors and I will purchase another one. CHAPIN DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND OR CUSTOMERS .........

Do not answer emails or phone calls

Purchase a hose end sprayer and I've had some in the past, this one was used about 15-20 times in the last year taking really good care of it after each use The valve started sticking I've reached out to Chapin to ask about warranty and nothing in reply. I wish I saw all the negative reviews earlier but they used to be a good company now they did not even answer the phone or emails

TOTAL FAILURE !

So in 2020 I have purchased my brand new Chapin
# 21230 XP
Well for a number of years I just kept it in my garage since I had a contract on my house for treatment.
After we sold our home I made a decision to save money and I was going to do the treatment myself with very good product, so I put to work my brand new Chapin spraying pump !
Well less than a year total garbage!!!
Chapin is all chip plastic manufactured in c…na
Pump is a total waste and failure ⚠️
This pump literally is a waste ⚠️
Chapin is putting out there this GARBAGE just to SELL parts down the road.
Yeah right ❗️DON’T BUY CHAPIN ‼️
I do NOT RECOMMEND IT= TOTAL FAILURE ⚠️
Don’t waste your money 💰

Hi BJ, we're sorry to hear the pump stopped working. It sounds like it may just need to be lubricated or need some general maintenance. If it was sitting for a few years without being used, that could be why. Our tech team can certainly assist if you'd like to reach out. cpss@chapinmfg.com or 1-800-444-3140. Please clarify if you've used it for a year before it stopped working. They will most likely ask additional questions about what was used, etc. Thank you!

Please people.....do not...do not buy…

Please people.....do not...do not buy their backpack sprayer. Instead of doing that, just take your $150+ and give it away.
Model 60124 4 gal 20V battery backpack sprayer. Four months in had to replace the hose as it burst spraying grass killer all over me. Charger stopped working...unable to charge unit. Then the internal battery stopped holding a charge (this is after four months of use 1 or 2 days a month and then sitting in my basement over the winter).
I contacted Chapin for troubleshooting, was told because it is a base model.....no battery replacement is available...what! Do not buy.

I paid a premium price for the Chapin pump but got very little quality

I purchased a 5 gal sprayer, and i didn't keep the receipt. That is my fault.
However the pump didn't work and i was sent a part which still didn't fix the problem. After following the video's and other suggestions the customer service rep suggested it still didn't solve the problem.
Today i asked if they had a plan B and they told me to "purchase" a whole new pump fitting for a pump that was never used and i only owned for less than a month.
I paid more and got less with Chapin

Rip off Company

I'm not familiar with their other products, but I purchased a model 61800 a year ago. I only used Crossbow to spray blackberries. This year I went to use the unit, and when I removed the lid, the seal was so expanded, that it no longer fit the tank. I checked with Chapin,and a new seal was 3/4 the cost of the sprayer! I'm done. It's going to the dump.

Hi Murray, we're sorry to hear you experienced issues with the seal. You can check other locations for this part if needed, if not ordering direct from us, as our retails may have a lower price. Thank you.

Hi Eddie. We’re sorry you experienced a pump issue after your backpack sprayer was out of warranty. Pumps are a general wear part and wouldn’t be covered after our warranty period. Although your sprayer is outside of the warranty period, our Technical Support Lead can assist you to get your sprayer back up and running if you would like to contact her. cpss@chapinmfg.com. Thank you.

I bought sprayer model 1380 a couple of…

I bought sprayer model 1380 a couple of years ago and the pump stopped working. The place I bought it from did not have the pump available. I contacted chapinmfg.com first, tried to use their chat, but their chat is not used or monitored. I just got a message saying they will contact me. I then called, waited on hold, and then was told the part number.
I asked how to find the part number on their website, the person I spoke with checked and it was not on their website and transferred me to make the order over the phone. I told the person the part number and they could not find it and they asked me for the model number. They did not have the part available and offered to sell me the whole unit.
I believe that their lack of service, and lack of having a part is deliberate on their part to force their customer to purchase a new item. I only use it to spray my garden, was tired of getting sprayers that did not last and paid extra to buy a well-made product.
Very disappointed and I recommend finding a company that will stand behind their products and not just take advantage of you. The only difference between the unit I bought and the new ones is the hole size for the pump. Seems to be their way changing in order to force customer to buy new.

Hi Mai, we’re sorry to hear you experienced the delay with our online chat and any issues you experienced with trying to order over the phone. Unfortunately, not all parts are listed on our website and we’re working to rectify that. We’re also sorry if there was a miscommunication in regards to purchasing a new unit. We have not changed the dimensions on the 1380 in quite a few years and if the pump assembly was out of stock, we may have suggested buying a new sprayer as an option, but it’s certainly not needed. As this is pump is an assembly part, there are additional steps to build and sell the part, and we never plan to have any part deliberately out of stock. While we understand your frustration at having to wait, our technical team is working to answer multiple calls, chats, and emails every day so there may be a delay. This review has been relayed to our customer service supervisor as well. If we can be of any assistance, you can email our team directly at cpss@chapinmfg.com, reference this review and request that it be directed to the supervisor in your subject line. She is available to assist. Thank you.

Replacement pump assembly for model…

Replacement pump assembly for model 6300
Stainless steel sprayer.
What a nightmare trying to get the warranty honored.
They couldn’t find my order, couldn’t find my address or email.
Said the 30 day warranty started the day they shipped not the week later I received the part.
Tried to blame me for using chemicals and not lubricating the pump I used only 5 times!
Horrible customer service.

Hi Richard, we’re sorry to hear you experienced this with our service team. We can understand your frustration, and the inconvenience. Our team did look again for an order and product registration under your name. Did you purchase this direct from us and our website? We only see orders that are placed directly from our website, not from a store or another online site, like Amazon. We didn’t see a direct order in our system so they wouldn’t have been able to find your address and email. Did you mail in a product registration or submit a form online? If yes, we may be able to find this information if we know how it was submitted. We also ask which chemicals are used in the sprayer because not all chemicals are compatible. Even after 5 uses, depending on the chemical and compatibility, it is possible for the seals to wear out. Per our product manuals, we do require our products to be fully flushed, cleaned out, and dried after each use. General maintenance, like lubrication, is needed, understanding a pump is a general wear part. We’re certainly willing to assist with additional questions, please reach out via email, cpss@chapinmfg.com.

I bought this sprayer a year ago

I bought this sprayer a year ago, paid $30 for it,the most I've ever paid for a round up sprayer..& have regretted it almost from day one.
it is the worst I've ever had & I've had a lot of them in 35 years of living in the country.
the s[pray heads don't work right,it wont hold pressure, trying to change those spray head parts is a nightmare.
I am ready to throw it away & get yet another cheap one, at least they work for a year or 2 which is more than I can say about this one..for all the good a review is going to do, looks like there are plenty of others before mine.
A Very Dissatisfied Customer

Poor Customer Service

Yesterday I called Customer Service and left my name and number with the promise that I would not lose my place in queue. I didn't get a call back. This morning I called again and held about 20 minutes and went from being 8th in queue to 2nd in queue, but at that point I had to hang up so I once again left my name and number. 8 hours later and I haven't received a call back.

Zero Follow Up by the Company

Have been trying to order a replacement pump for over a week... Number 10 in que on the phone that never changes, and have sent multiple on-line Chats and they never respond via email as they state in the chat because everyone is busy. Either they have thousands of problems with their products, or there is only one employee answering Chats and the phone for less than 8 hours a day! The message says due to COVID! Get a grip - COVID is over!

Warranty Scam

I’ve bought in multiple pump sprayers and have had an issue with 12 of them. I was able to provide proof of purchase and everything else needed to submit a warranty request. They thought sending me O-rings would fix the issue for all of the faults in these pump up sprayer and we’re not able to provide replacements like the warranty states. Major waste of time and money. Nobody should be dealing with this company. They are not up to their own terms.

This sprayer has a major design flaw

This sprayer has a major design flaw. The pump handle is not accessible when it is on your back. The handle is not properly oriented. You have to take it off to pump it up. O have had previous backpack sprayers and the pump handle was always accessible
Once it is pumped it works very weal.
Because of that I do not recommend this sprayer.

This Company is Laughable

It's hard to take this company seriously when most aspects of it seem like a joke. The pay is laughable, even though you'll have to work long hours. Basically, most employees are overworked. Also, management will assign you tasks that weren't in the job description. Management support is also laughable because it's almost non-existent. I don't recommend working for this ridiculous company.

Pay attention to your clients

I was put on hold by their customer support team and when they finally answered my question, they did not provide enough info and quickly brushed me off. I cannot imagine this kind of reaction for another customer.
