Test result preview
The Craftus 1 litre pressure sprayer is a versatile helper for gardening, cleaning tasks and much more. Equipped with a high-quality FKM seal, it can even withstand aggressive liquids containing solvents. The pressurised sprayer is particularly efficient as it distributes liquids evenly and sparingly. Safety features such as a pressure relief valve and an ergonomic handle increase ease of use. One negative point, however, is that the fill level indicator is difficult to read with light-coloured liquids. A positive feature is the adjustable nozzle, which enables both fine atomisation and a powerful spot jet. A negative point is the somewhat low maximum fill level of 0.9 litres instead of the advertised 1 litre.
Advantages
- Maximum resistance to chemicals
- Versatile in use
- Ergonomic handle
- Adjustable nozzle
Disadvantages
- Fill level more difficult to read with light-coloured liquids
- 0.9 litre maximum filling quantity instead of 1 litre

Overall, my first impression of the Craftus 1 litre pressure sprayer was very positive. The product arrived in a neatly packaged box, which was adapted to the product size and did not contain any unnecessary packaging material. This ensured product protection and the pressure sprayer arrived without scratches or soiling. However, it was noticeable that despite the efforts to be sustainable, plastic film was used, which could be optimised in the future. The contents of the package were clear and concise: in addition to the pressure sprayer itself, the packaging contained easy-to-understand operating instructions. These instructions were written in clear language and made it much easier to use the device for the first time. All in all, the first impression was solid and professional, although small improvements in terms of packaging sustainability would be desirable. The comprehensive protection of the product during transport and the user-friendly documentation were rated particularly favourably by us.

Our practical test of the Craftus 1 litre pressure sprayer has shown that the manufacturer fully lives up to its advertising promises. A decisive aspect was the tightness: even at full pressure, there was no leakage, which emphasises the high quality of workmanship and reliability of the product.
The pressure build-up time was also remarkable. Maximum pressure was achieved with just 20-30 strokes, which clearly demonstrates the efficiency and user-friendliness of the sprayer. In the spray pattern test, the pressure sprayer impressed with an even spray pattern without any interruptions, which ensures precise and even application.
The sprayer’s pump mechanism worked smoothly and silently throughout the test, which further increased ease of use. The drip behaviour was also exemplary: after releasing the lever, no drops escaped, which indicates a well thought-out design and high-quality seals.
Overall, our test confirmed that the Craftus 1 litre pressure sprayer performs excellently in all advertised areas. The combination of tightness, fast pressure build-up, even spray pattern, smooth-running pump and drip-free operation makes this product an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
