Some say the sprayer eventually becomes a "squirter". Has anyone found a solution to this? Or perhaps recommend a different brand?

If you don't have more than 1/3 cup of oil in the container it works fine. Any more than that it tends to squirt rather than spray. Also Give it a few pumps just before use, the more pressure the better the spray.

Have you tried running Vinegar through it to clean the nozzle. Haven't tried it just a though.

I found that it doesn't work great for thicker oils. With all oils you are going to have some buildup which can damage it's efficiency, the occasional cleaning cannot hurt. Mostly I use mine for soy sauce. We eat a lot of rice in my house and we can quickly burn through a large bottle of soy sauce. With this I can create an even dispersement of sauce without having to drown my food.

I stopped using mine because it just doesn't spray right. I tired washing it, letting the air out after each use. Sorry, I have no solution.

Just twist it counterclockwise. My sprayer quit working completely, so I bought a new spray bottle and transferred the contents to it.

We did not have this issue or have to puncture anything - we simply removed the sprayer portion, filled with water, replaced the sprayer part and used. You may have received a defective bottle?

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.

Your is defective. I have had mine for a year and the spray is consistent we every time and use it a lot!

I'm not sure what you mean. What part is NOT working? The squirter? That's what broke on mine and I threw it out.

I do squirt it without removing the stopper into a spray bottle, works great! No problem! Love it!

Yes. That is normal. There is something wrong with their spray nozzles. I had the same thing happen to me.

DO NOT put a needle or pin into the sprayer orifice! Here's what has worked for me: drain the oil; rinse the container & sprayer in very warm to hot soapy water. Be careful of the small screen on the end of the sprayer tube. After doing the above, fill the container to the fill line with the hot soapy water; pressurize the container and spray the soapy water. t has worked for me every time. Repeat with clean water to remove the soap.

This happened to me and I flipped the little wire loop that pushes the flange to make the sprinkler reciprocate. It worked and hasn't messed up again. Also, sometime there is a little bit of debris in the nozzle and it doesn't make enough force to push the sprinkler. You can clean it out with a little wire Good luck!

Yes, you're right about this, I have found the same thing with mine but it doesn't bother me too much because I like the faucet so much. The faucet I had before this one had a cheaper lightweight sprayer and it was a pain too, because it was SO lightweight. It also did not retract very well. We have a pull-down sprayer/faucet in our laundry room and it isn't perfect either, even when I push it hard up into the faucet head, it usually falls back out a bit. With this Sonoma faucet I've just become accustomed to lifting the sprayer to a position where I know it will either begin to retract on its own or I can more easily push it back down. I hope this factor concerning the faucet won't bother you too much.

I wish you luck. The best you can do is to quickly insert the nozzle end of the solution holder. My holder tended to leak even from the top part. That's one of the reasons I rated it poorly - and be careful how you treat the swivel - they break. For $10 more, I just bought the Rubbermaid and its quite good and well-constructed, and the spray cover a larger area. Good luck.

Sorry to be the banter of bad news, but it does sound as though you have a defective unit. The good news is you are still under warranty. Do not waste another minute; call the store where you bought it and have it returned. This device is a no brainer; you plug it up, turn it on and watch it go...the spray should work with ease and percision. Buying defective items does happen in life; sorry you had to experience that. Best wishes with everything.

I had the same issue. Make sure the piece that covers the nozzle is on snug and all connections are snug ( no air seeping out of the hose extension) . The solution that comes with the gun is terrible. You won't get a good spray with that solution! I had to order Norvell Venetian however I use Lavish Tan organic solution now.

I really wasn't impressed with the mister's ability to continue to spray. The only suggestion I have is to soak it in really hot water and attempt to spray it to try and loosen or breakdown whatever is blocking the sprayer. Hope it works! Good Luck!

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

Had the same problem with several soap brands. Seems as though the underbody dispenser apparatus gets plugged up and allows the pump to be depressed, but has insufficient spring left to allow it to back come up again: thus you get a short stroke/minimal output problem. I tried cleaning it, oiling it, etc... nothing worked. Just replaced that part from Moen's website. Hopefully its a fluke, because it isn't even a year old yet.
