Asian Paints Viroprotektor - Cordless Water Sprayer
This product was launched during the pandemic to be used as disinfectant sprayer and initially it was listed for ~2.5k but later the price dropped to 50% on Amazon before they soldout. However, it looks like Flipkart still had the stock (manufactured in Aug 2020) and now they also want to sell them for Rs. 550. You may think the battery could be dried out but I have been using it since one week (Mostly 20-25 bottles of solution) after fully charging and it still shows 3 LEDs. I believe they have used good quality battery which should last two more years and later we can replace it with new 3.7v Li-ion battery with BMS.
As a disinfectant sprayer, it doesn't work as intended because the nozzle sprays water rather then fine mist as advertised. It makes the surface too wet and will ruin electronics if you spray on them. However, for surface dust car cleaning (such as rinseless wash, glass cleaning, APC on engine bay and etc) it is very suitable but for full car wash, you have to follow usual methods. Thick shampoo or foam shampoo should not be used as it can clog the pump or inner nozzle. The pressure is similar to pump spray bottle (You can check the testing video shown below) and they have provided two nozzles with different size orifice but I haven't noticed any major difference. As per specs the battery takes 4-5 hours to fully charge and sprays around 50-60 bottles of solution. They have only provided micro-usb cable and we have to use our own USB wall charger. I have been using it since one week and found some pros/cons..
Pros:
Handy and comfortable to use.
Build quality is good.
Adjustable nozzle (Stream or spray)
1L bottle with measuring scale.
LED torch with decent brightness.
Battery level indicator with 3 LEDs.
Cons:
Spray head is not water resistant.
7 days return policy on FK but no warranty.
No separate switch for LED torch. It lights up along with pump.
No safety lock for trigger. Pump will easily turn ON if trigger is pressed accidentally.
Bottle threading is not universal size and just a centimeter long. Feels like it is barely holding.
If you can consider buying this product at discounted price on FK, make sure to test it thoroughly within the return period.
