Side by Side Comparison of: Tolco vs Rubbermaid

I looked all over for a small bottle and found this here. It's perfect to spray water at my barking dogs when the critters in the field/yard get them going. Works well.

Great for filling with water and placing around the house for that pesky cat that keeps jumping on things he shouldn't be jumping on. Only complaint is that the solid stream isn't very solid - it doesn't shoot very consistent. I've learned to live with it because I'm a pretty good shot anyways.

Exactly what I needed. I kept overwatering my plants from using the faucet directly. This helps with evenly distributing the water across the leaves and the soil. It also has different level nozzles which allow you to have a wide variety of streams.

works good

I PURCHASED FOR PERFUME. THE SPRAYER WOULD NOT WORK SO I POURED IT IN THIS BOTTLE. WORKED OUT GREAT. DURABLE. GOOD PRICE. FAST SHIPPING. I RECOMMEND.

This bottle is fantastic. Some people have said that it's not good for oil. Fine. Don't use it with oil.But for anything that's water-based, you can't beat this bottle. I've used lots of other spray bottles before, and I always thought, "We have amazing technology that allows us to make iPhones, supersonic planes, and nuclear submarines, but we can't figure out how to make a simple spray bottle that actually works?"Look no further. This bottle is fantastic. If you look at the picture you will see that there is a plastic piece extending on the side opposite of the trigger. When you hold this spray bottle, you will understand that it's one of the greatest features of the bottle. It stabilizes the bottle against the thenar space (i.e. the space between your thumb and index finger) so you can squeeze to your heart's content.The action on the trigger is good and the whole unit is solid.There are two small drawbacks, but most people won't care because they'll be so happy to have found a spray bottle that actually works:1) if you have small hands, this bottle is not for you. The trigger is angled far to the front. This is great because it gives a larger trigger displacement and this limits the number of times you have to squeeze the trigger to get the amount of spray you want. But if you have small hands, it's going to be uncomfortable.2) the color. You don't have a choice. The picture here is a black bottle and they do advertise that it is "frosted assorted colors". As a male jock, I was hoping for blue, but I got pink. Still, I can deal with it because this bottle works so well.One recommendation I have is that you order two of them. If you are using it for disinfecting purposes, one can be for vinegar and the other for hydrogen peroxide. But if you are going to do that, then remember that you have to keep the hydrogen peroxide bottle in the dark because light breaks it down.note: please click on "Yes" for all helpful reviews. It encourages good reviewers to publish more and help the rest of us. Thanks.

Very high volume sprayer is what I needed and buddy this one does it. Nozzle is very adjustable. I set it where I can literally empty the bottle 10 times faster than a typical spray bottle.

I love this super sized spray bottle. It shoots the liquid to a far distance and oozes good amount of the liquid too. Your arm will thank you for not giving it repeated motion of squeezing as some bottles need. I bought this bottle to help me with cleaning my class windows and shoot the liquid from a distance without all over my face.

I've bought other spray bottles on Amazon that have been less than impressive. But this bottle just works.. It's easy to adjust the spray, it doesn't leak.. Basically it's just a good bottle.

This is what I have needed to spritz my house plants with water and also to spritz my barbecue while I am smoking meat. The old containers I had that were saved from empty squirt bottles always failed or leaked, but this appears to be of a more sturdy construction and provides a good adjustable mist turning the nozzle.

Great for mixing and holding household chemicals, like vinegar dilutions for use in cleaning. I have enzymes in one for cleaning up pet messes, one for vinegar for cleaning mirrors and bathroom surfaces, one for water for misting plants, etc. You can write on the bottles using a Sharpie to keep your chemicals identified.

I mix my own cleaner using a "green" hydrogen peroxide mixture. I find these bottle sprayers to be sturdy and stable. The measuring levels are very helpful. The sprayer is easy to use and has a variety of spray types nice for a range of quick cleaning to heavy cleaning. My only complaint is that they are a bit too tall to fit in upper cabinet shelves.

I got pink. Eh. Variable colors but I hoping on the green. Doesn't leak and has an adjustable stream.

Sometimes I have to loosen the top to get it to spray, but otherwise it's effective. smaller than I thought so I have to refill for often, but that is minor. I got a cute pink color

Unlike most people I use this spray bottle to hold rubbing alcohol. I spray it on the couch as an alternate way to clean it. Rather than soaking a rag and wiping down the dirty spots, I'm able to apply an equal amount to the couch. As an added bonus I'm not wasting copious amounts of alcohol on rags. The great thing about a spray bottle is that you can use it for virtually any liquid. Like any spray bottle you can adjust it to spray a fine mist for watering plants or a steady stream of an alcoholic mixture for parties. Whatever you use this bottle for you won't be disappointed.

I received my bottle a few days ago and like it thus far. I purchased it because my wife (and 16 month old son) has managed to misplace all three water spray bottles in our house. While this bottle works great and provides an excellent mist, I received a pink bottle. I missed the word "assorted" in the title and only saw the product photo, which did not show any other colors than the one frosted one. So that's my only reasoning for giving this item 4 stars. The seller may want to show a photo(s) of all available colors in the future.

I know we are using ours "heavy duty". It's the water sprayer for our cloth baby wipes. I love the size and I like the color but every time my little guy knocks it off the changing table the nozzle breaks off and it's back to dipping the wipes in a jar. Can we just buy the sprayer attachment since that's the part that breaks? So far we've gone through three of them. Baby is 7 months old so that's not TOO bad except that they've all broken in the last 2 months now that he's more mobile. The most recent one lasted less than a week.Anybody have any suggestions for a sprayer that's more durable? I like this one but am tired of having them break. :(

Bought this on Amazon because I was tired of buying bottles from beauty suppliers and other places and finding they had no mist option or no good range of spray. This one had good reviews and when it arrived I tried it out and it does mist -- which is what I wanted. It's small which is nice because it doesn't take up as much room as other bottles.

Well made quart spray bottle that I use for misting water during waxing boats and cars. Bottle appears sturdy enough to last years.

I bought three spray bottles to compare:1) Little Giant Professional Sprayer Bottle 32 oz (3 star) had the best bottle, stable when full, hard to tip over, not top heavy. Fair quality spray head imported from China, not as good as the spray heads on the Zep and Rubbermaid products. The bottle is Made in the USA, spray head in China.2) Zep Commercial Professional Sprayer 32 oz (1 star) has a good spray head, but the bottle was so cheap and flimsy it appears to be made out of blow-molded plastic. The plastic is so cheap, the bottle will not stand up without falling over. This stains the Made in USA brand...3) Rubbermaid Professional Plus Heavy-Duty Spray Bottle 32 oz (4 star) Had the best quality materials by far, Made in USA. One star off because the tall, narrow bottle is easy to knock over, top heavy, especially when empty.

I would have given this 5 stars if I hadn't had to fiddle with the nozzle so much to make it work. With some perseverance-—considering it's purchase price-—it's spraying the bleach-containing cleaning product whose original container was redesigned to be non-refillable-—just what we need, more trash in our landfills.

I use this at least once a day to spray my 'tiel with distilled water. I spray constantly for about 3/4 of a bottle. The right size to hold, it has a nice adjustable spray and seems very durable.

Very good quality bottle.I use it to dilute cleaning products with water, to use in the bathroom.It sprays well, and feels a lot more sturdy than most spray bottles on the market.

Works great with bleach water, still works after two months of having bleach water in the spray assembly. I have not had a problem with the trigger coming off like some have but stream setting can have some side spray and it does leak down to the trigger. Bought it so I can use bleach water and it does work without some downfalls, but overall I am happy with it. Usually cheap spray bottles stop working after a while with bleach

I mean, it's a spray bottle. It's nothing fancy. It works. The spray head/nozzle is a little large compared to the body but that's fine.Do note that the item description says "assorted colors" and you can't seem to pick what color you get. I happened to get a pink one.

The tube that goes into the bottle is curved, so it doesn't work well if it is less than half full.

It's just okay. Not terrible. Not great.The color is clearly stated as being random and I got a pink one. I was going to order several, but decided to try only one first and I'm glad I did because I won't be ordering more.The bottom of the bottle is not flat. I almost made a video of how it rocks when I put it down on a hard, flat surface.The threads are coarse and the plastic has rough places from the mold used to make the bottle. The frosted effect is made by having a rough surface on the plastic. The fact that there are so few threads and there are irregularities are probably why it leaks. I will probably just use it for plain water and put it in something else to keep it upright.This bottle had a tag saying it was the #1 Best Seller. I don't understand that. I went to a brick and mortar store yesterday and bought a much better made bottle for a much lower price. This Tolco bottle feels like it should be something to pick up at the dollar store although the sprayer feels like a little better quality than the dollar one.

This spray bottle is okay. That's about all I can say... If it is not straight up and down it will not spray. I was ordering one to replace my old one that I dropped and the top broke off. I think I bought it for about $2.00, but it had the perfect mist for my plants and you could turn it any direction and it would still spray. This one is somewhere between a spray and a mist, so depending on what you are using it for it may work for you. I do like the color... I receive a teal-ish color, I'm just glad I didn't get pink like some of the other people!

Now that I have received this in PINK, I read the other reviews & appears pink is the color most often sent. When I did a search for a bottle, it was for "glass spray bottle". It had decent reviews so I ordered it without reading through tons of reviews for a basic spray bottle. Surprise !! It's plastic and PINK! Nowhere in the description does this say what it's made is. When I took the top off to check it out, then tried to screw back on, discovered it is crooked and won't seat square. Also very hard to even try to fit over the top of the bottle. Decided to check for leaks. None so far, but it is new. The spray is adjustable from mist to stream by turning the spray nozzle. That's a good thing if it continues to work. I wanted to use this for essential oils made into a room spray. They tend to eat & deteriorate plastic. When it fails, I'll hit the dollar store instead.

Ordered 3 of these bottles and received 2 in a hot pink color and 1 blue. Size was exactly what I was looking for (I was making some home-made yoga mat cleaner as gifts for a couple of fellow yogis). The sprayer felt like it was solidly constructed and would last for a while. Doing some test sprays produced a good range of spray area (focused stream versus wide spray). I knocked off 1-star because the sprayer head did leak slightly even after the nozzle was turned to the 'Off' position. I knocked the second star off because the bottle itself is a pretty flimsy plastic and also leaked when turned on its side - I believe the seal between the sprayer head and bottle wasn't quite perfect, allowing for some leakage. Overall though, for the price, these bottles were a good value and thankfully, my yogi friends loved the hot pink color.

Broke the first use :( Seemed like it would work well. Unfortunately, the trigger broke.

Stopped spraying (a little still comes out but not enough for it to be useful) after a year. But before that it worked well

The adjustable nozzle is shoddy. Works but you never know how it's going to come out of there. Seems like it adjusts itself even during use so one minute it's full the next it's a stream.

The nozzle area is kinda strange and has a tendency to drip all over the place if it is held wrong. Otherwise this does work as intended

Don't squeeze quickly. First time I used it squeezed the trigger hard enough to break the plastic at the hinge. Not sure about heavy duty label...

Works well but it only comes out in a stream, it doesn't have a setting for spray/mist on the nozzle. But it gets the job done and the stream it does have is powerful, without having to squeeze a bunch of times, it's not weak like it's dollar store counterparts!

We bought this to squirt our dog when he jumps up to steal food off the counter. Unfortunately the spray bottle leaks profusely when you pull the trigger, no matter how you adjust it.Spend a couple of dollars more and get a squirt bottle that works.

Honestly I was expecting an aerosol as opposed to a stream spray, so I'm disappointed. but I'll still use it though.

I was disappointed with this bottle but since it was so cheap I didn't bother to return it. The nozzle doesn't spray a very fine mist, it's more of a stream even at the lightest setting.

doesn't spray, just shoots. Would probably good for laundry, but I wanted to use it for hair setting, so it doesn't really work

This should be priced around $1.50.No mist option, just sprays in a jet.Feels cheap.

It "works" for water which is what I used it for, but it does leak quite a lot of liquid. I wouldn't even attempt to use it with any other sort of liquid because of this.I wish we could choose the color as well, I probably would have given a higher rating just if I had gotten a color I liked, but for nearly $5, I should have gone to the store to get a proper spray bottle that I chose instead.

The way the "Rubbermaid Professional Plus Heavy-Duty Spray" is constructed, when you pulls the trigger the nozzle moves up and down.I do not like that design.

This sprayer is not meant for spraying cleaning products. The spray pattern is too diffuse or too strong when the nozzle is tightened. On top of this, it just broke today. I didn't even get a year of use.

I was pleased to purchase a Made in the USA product, but its performance was very disappointing. I have only had it for less than 2 months, used briefly each time, and the product does not function. I don't know what to say. I called the manufacturer, they were very nice and professional. I looked on YouTube to find help to get it working again but met with no success. Maybe I'm just unlucky which is why I gave it 2 as opposed to 1 star.

I thought that if I spent a little extra money, I'd get a better product than I usually get at the 99 cent store. Wrong. Yes, the plastic is stronger but, either a mechanical defect in the spray pump, or not, the plastic warps inward I believe because the air is blocked from returning to the bottle after each pump. Disappointing, but I've learned that the 99 cent one works quite well. Oh well.

Sprayer just seems to want to either spray a heavy stream or nothing. Literally as soon as you twist the nozzle, its a stream. No misting setting to be dialed in. I will make it work for my needs, but I've had better luck with sprayers at the Dollar Store.

Decent price but not that great of a product. I've found it very hard to get the bottle to spray out. Very annoying. Also not great for someone with small hands. my wife has to use both her hands to try and spray, even then she has cut her finger on the plastic. I do not recommend and I would not purchase again

Had for a few weeks and only used it a few times. Bottle split and water dumped everywhere last time we were using it.

Inside of bottle STINKS of mold and it will not come out. I was going to use this bottle as a water bottle for my own hair, unfortunately the contents of the bottle take on the stink from it and so it cannot be used. Would not recommend.

It is totally stuck the first time I use it. I only load it with warer and nothing come out at all. The worst thing is that this item is not even eligible for return...

Order this small spray bottle for my daughter's. It didn't work once. Went to return it and says item is non returnable. Don't buy it risking the chance it doesn't work. Great way to get rid of junk products that don't work. Make them non returnable!

Did not work. The spray spout on the inside of the bottle was not lined up with the actual spray spout so it's completely non-functional. Tried to fix it myself (because taking the time out of my day to return a $5 item seemed ridiculous) but couldn't. Lame.

This product doesn't function. The handle pulls, but nothing comes out and it appears to have some blockage in the nozzle. Not worth the hassle of returning it, but I certainly won't buy another one.

If you caught the D1 on the trigger in the picture and thought you were getting a Spraymaster type of trigger forget about it, it came with a Zep looking trigger (see other people's pics). It was junk, filled it with water, wouldn't spray a drop. Also, to be clear, trigger is not what's shown in picture.

Broke after two months in the exact same spot as the people who posted pics. Brittle plastic broke when I squeezed it. I put a screw through it so I have something until I get a replacement.

We bought this as "naughty water" for when my cat jumped on the counter. The sprayer broke after a week; I'm really disappointed. We didn't use this excessively. Honestly, I forgot we had it for most of that week and when I started to use it more often it started spraying out more a mist instead of a stream.The bottle itself is durable. We haven't put anything besides water in it, though. I'm not sure how it would hold up with bleach or other chemicals.

The handle broke on the second use

I purchased this sprayer because it was listed as "Professional Heavy-Duty". It lasted three days. I used it for a total of 8 times. I wanted something that would spray a mixture of 25% bleach and 75% water. I opened the spray head and the check valve steel ball was stuck. I freed the ball and the sprayer worked for two more days. Do not buy this if you plan to use it with bleach. It fails at 25% bleach concentration.

I purchased to use with water. I have used no more than a handful of times, and it no longer workers. However, the .50 cent one I bought from another store works just fine. This product has been put in the trash.
