Review (3/5): Longevity issues
Purchased this product in Oct 2018. Primarily used for misting indoor plants. Very fine water mist and smooth trigger function. Helped the indoor plants immensely. Used it once or twice a day during weekdays. Worked beautifully for about 9 months then the trigger abruptly went from smooth to jammed. I kept on using it because the nozzle was still spraying the mist correctly. That is until today. Now there is just a jet stream that comes out. I will be more than happy to maintain or repair the nozzle myself. But the product designers, intentionally or unintentionally, have made any access to the nozzle parts impossible. Therefore, we the consumers, have no option but to toss the entire product in the garbage and buy a new mister. Agreed, it is inexpensive and agreed it works well initially. But the mister does not have a sustainable and a durable design. The designers should not hide behind the excuse that the parts are plastic. They can absolutely create a modular design where the plastic parts can be replaced instead of tossing the whole bottle away. Creating products that do not last long and create massive garbage is a future we cannot subscribe to. Happy with the product intent. But disappointed in the design thought and durability of the product. Hence the three stars.
