So the Spraying part of the sprayer is Great! Best I've used
So the Spraying part of the sprayer is Great! Best I've used. Unfortunately some one at the Michael Graves Design Group should be slapped up side the head and sent back to remedial high school physics and a human factors class. During use, the web of your thumb will sit under the back of the sprayer head and with your top two fingers on the trigger and the other fingers on the bottle. When you spray, you the back of the bottle pushes into the base of your palm applying a lot or torque to the threads between the head and the bottle. Unfortunately, they aren't up to the task. After a couple squeezes, the head pops off the bottle. The neck on the head is so short and the threads so shallow that there isn't a way to hold it that doesn't stress the threaded joint and cause it to pop loose after a few spurts. If you really tighten the threads down, you can feel the plastic collar flexing like it will break in short order. I wish it worked better, but it's going back and the search for a good kitchen sprayer continues. It is quite possible that there is a manufacturing defect and the threads on the steel bottle aren't as prominent as they are suppose to be, but the design still stresses them and the plastic collar doesn't feel like it is up to the job.
Edit-Purchased the Evo sprayer with the larger plastic bottle and the prominent neck and it does not suffer from the problem this unit had and still sprays great. The threads are much more prominent with a flat surface on the lower side for a strong interlocking interface to the pump collar.
