DISQUS

I've gotta disagree with your assessment. Something like this would come in handy when I'm spraying cleaners on the shower walls, or when I'm spraying bug spray on all the plants around the outside of the house. Right now, when I clean the shower, I use a cleaner that shoots out as a foamy liquid. Each pump of the sprayer only sprays out a tiny amount of the stuff, so to cover the whole shower wall, I have to spray for several minutes. I'm constantly switching hands. For the bug spray, right now we use a big container with a giant hand pump which you have to pump up 15 times or so to get a few seconds of spray. Something motorized like this would definitely come in handy for those times. Granted, I wouldn't use this for general purpose spraying of Windex on a small window or something, but I'd use it for those bigger tasks that require alot of time with a spray bottle.

It would also come in handy for those with arthritis or other hand/grip issues. My mother comes to mind...

I dunno, I know several people with arthritis who'd find it useful. It'd be more useful to have a motorized squeezer to use on existing bottles, though, since I can't imagine buying a different one for every spray product you'd ever want to use.

Yeah, it would definitely come in handy for those with arthritis, or other conditions that make using their hands difficult. For the rest of us though, it still seems to me like another battery-eating device that doesn't need to be.

*Generic comment about how wrong you are and how useful this actually is to certain groups of people in which you don't include yourself*

Hi Andrew,
This is the kind of thing I would have scoffed at as well but I garden at a community garden with a lot of senior citizens who I know would benefit from it.
I once read an article about how no one puts tinsel on their Christmas trees any more because people "don't have the time."
No time to hang tinsel?
Now that's lazy.

Yeah, I think we have become too lazy, I don't think I need such a bottle to get rid of the insects in my house, I only need a good insecticide solution to make it all efficient. I wouldn't pay extra money for a motorized spray bottle.
