SO frustrating when that happens! I'd look around the house for another spray bottle that's nearly empty and use that, or go to the 99¢ store and buy a product in a similar bottle, like glass cleaner, and dump the contents and use that bottle. Good luck!

Go buy a spray bottle @ 99 cent store & put the product in there. Be sure to label it correctly.

I had the hardest time as well!! I remember that I had to keep turning the nozzle area around and kept trying to make it work. But it wasn't easy.

take the top off, soak in hot water a few minutes, get a safty pin or needle and feed it through the front; put the bottom of the squirter in the hot water, pump the squirter, and see if this cleans out the clog, I'd do this once or twice before I'd return it

The spray should come out with force. I would send it back for a replacement. Good luck!!!

Like most every other kind of pump, it needs to be "primed". I got mine to work by repeatedly and briskly pressing it down. It may also help to prime it with a lower viscosity fluid like water first, then refill with the thicker lotion or soap product.

Mine also stopped. I was sent a new spraying gun and that one also broke after 5 tans. I gave up. This product is not worth it. I went to a hardware store and bought a paint spraying gun for $30 and it works perfectly! That was my solution.

Mine personally has never done this, but it's possible I might have just got a good one. I also bought mine a few years ago, so maybe they updated something on the pump recently that didn't improve its performance? Did you try swapping out the oil? Maybe you're getting pumps that are coming with expired oil?

When I hooked up my second pump it didn't work until I filled more water in it. About 2" in a laundry tub and then it worked from then on. If yours still doesn't work after that I would assume it was malfunctioning.

I could not get it to pump anything. it would be best for you to get another pump.

I also had this issue. My problem was I did not screw the plastic ring part tight enough around the base unit and hence there was no pressure building up, and the pump wasn't dispensing. I called the MISTO customer service and they send me a replacement pump for free, in case there is an issue with the pump part.

Did you have a pump included. That was more than I had. I went to Walmart and purchased one. I took a while and I still don't have them pumped up very well. I did find if you angle the pump needle a bit it helps, but good luck. It's definitely not easy! Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

I didn't find a lock on mine, and I just started by pushing the pump and it sprayed. You might have a defective sprayer.

I have been having the same problem. I was thinking it was missing a part on the end of the nozzle that the attachments attach to, if that makes sense. Good to know others have got it to work. I'll keep trying.

Sorry I didn't have this problem. Are you turning the water flow to the sprayer off after use? Mine leaks some if I don't. Good luck!

We had to replace the sprayer because it was doing the same thing. New one works fine. You can get them on Ebay.

The sprayer is very easy to use. The only thing that might cause you a problem is pumping the air into bottle. The top has a round nob that you have to usethe palm of your hand to pump. The more pressure you pump into bottle the harder it is to pump. If you can get someone to pump it for you that might work. I love my sprayer.

Did you use just oil or have oil & spices? I've been using mine for months with no problem. I have to pump it pretty much every time I use it. Sorry yours doesn't work. I'd send it back.

Make sure the spray bottle is pushed all the way down. It clicks when it is in correctly. If there is still an issue get a replacement.

As I could never get mine to work I gave it away. I spent 500$ on a bigger pump but it wouldn't work either. Don't buy this loser, go to Pinch A Penny and buy their vacuum that fits on the return. Cost is less than 200$.
