MISTO Brushed Aluminum Oil Sprayer, individual, Silver

I have had this item for months now. I don't bother to "release" the pressure (discussed in the instructions for it) and I do only fill part ways. If I get clogging I will come back and post my sins in a later update. I only fill about 25% not only because they instruct you to, but I don't use enough.. the oil has a tendency to get "randy".. that is to have a slightly "off" taste.. if you don't use it fairly quickly ...this is not a problem with the sprayer.. just that oils "oxidize" in the open air. I wash it after each "emptying".. they suggest you wash them every 3 months or so, so this works out nicely. The other reason to fill partway is that the air provides the "engine".. more air, longer sprays with one pumpup.. I bought two, one for olive oil and one for "salad oil" (whatever vegetable oil you like). The oil sprays nicely.. I thought it would be more of a stream, but it is atomized pretty evenly over the area. In fact it does such a great job that it will leave a "cloud of oil" floating around your kitchen if you spray holding it too far from your "target". I use it for salads, items to be browned (much more efficient than glopping it onto the pan), and for popcorn (love popcorn with olive oil.. or you could use a "butter flavored oil too I suppose) A negative is that I knocked it off the shelf onto the stove (about 3 ft drop) and it dented a bit (note it didn't break). This is due to the aluminum which is QUITE SOFT. They offer a STAINLESS STEEL version Misto Stainless Steel Olive Oil Sprayer of this same pump which may be considerably stiffer, but it is about double price. Contrary to others who have posted I find them to be pretty sturdy for a $10 item (was also "4 for 3" priced and "free over $25 shipping" as I recall), and based on the stream of reviews here, I think its clear they have improved it over the last couple of years. Which brings me to the second negative.. it is just too light and is slightly top-heavy.. the slightest tap (or if you don't set it squarely on it's base) and it topples over.. It would be greatly improved if they would weight the base with something heavy or perhaps shape the container to be larger at the bottom (of course that would take more shelf room). (edit 5/13/11): added links and minor updates. It also continues to operate reliably .. occasional cleaning is the only maintenance required) (edit 6/4/12): It has developed a slow leak through the nozel.. it works fine after pumping, but if I set it down for a few minutes, it will have to be pumped again.. not a major issue, but thought I'd mention it. If I listen at the nozel I can hear the leak. 6/20/12: A thorough, hot, soapy cleaning corrected this problem.. it now will hold pressure for days if I wish. After several years of great service I have raised my rating to 5-star. [edit: 8/2013] Still working, but I thought I'd add a note. I use EVOO in mine and I also don't keep my house very warm during the winter (50ish degrees F.) REAL EVOO and this will clog at low temps. I just heard on Dr Oz that 40% or more of "EVOO" sold in the US is "watered down" with cheap oils so as to raise their profit margin.. One test for EVOO is that if you put it in your refrigerator real EVOO will congeal into a thick gelatin.. "fake" ones remain liquid.

I have had this now for at least 5 years and it is still working well... So well, in fact, that I just purchased another one! I use one for olive oil and one for a home made herbal body spray, so they are for very different uses and the constitution of each is quite different: one is oil and the other is water and alcohol. Both work without a hitch every time. It is a useful size and it holds many sprays before needing to be refilled. Follow the directions and only fill it half-full-- if you overfill it, there is no room for the pressure to build up to get a nice, fine spray. When my oil master needs cleaning, the fine spray degrades into a thin stream. Hot water on and in the tiny plastic spray tube mechanism will flush it out. Just fill the unit with hot tap water and spray the water thru until you get a mist again. No dishwasher!!! The only thing I dislike about this is that when it is full (properly HALF-full!) the pump cover sits atop the sprayer loose and crooked. It looks funny on my counter top. Other than that tiny OCD complaint, you cannot beat this little device for years and years of consistent service and healthy eating (if you are using it for olive oil!), or misting (if you use it for other kinds of misting). It's even fine for plant misting! _____________________ADD-ON COMMENT! I purchased another one of these products. It jammed using simply water, not oil. I tried to clean it out, to "fix" it, to re-seat the plastic spray tube with the sprayer top, but alas! within 3 months it was thrown out. I do not know if the quality of the product has detereorated or if I just got a dud, but one experience is wonderful, and the other was a complete waste of time and money.

I love my sprayers. They've saved me so much. I use a fraction of the oil I used to, but don't lose flavor and I don't need to worry about chemicals.

The first fill and use of this product was perfect. After that, it streams instead of sprays. I tried recommendations for cleaning, but no mist. I purchase this because I appreciate it’s replacement of store-bought disposable cans. However, because it is ineffective and unreliable, I do not recommend this.

The best Oil Spray and I highly recommend this product!Such a big help in the kitchen!

Having two is great, I have one with chilly oil and one with normal olive oil in.

Çalışma mantığı piyasadakilerden çok farklı. Tüp içine hava basılarak yağ çıkış hızı artırıldığı için şişedeki yağ sprey şeklinde dışarı çıkıyor. Tavsiye ederim.

Había comprado anteriormente un producto similar de otra marca, pero al cabo de un tiempo se desfondó regando el aceite debido a que solo era aluminio por fuera y por dentro era un bote de plástico. Este NO es el caso, este producto tiene un bote de aluminio de una pieza, por lo cual nunca se desfondará (a menos que le conectes un compresor de 100psi). El acabado es muy bueno, se ve muy bien en la cocina. En cuanto al funcionamiento: llenas el bote hasta la mitad de aceite, lo cierras con su sello de hule y su tapa de plástico roscada, y colocas la otra tapa (la de aluminio) encima y bombeas con esta unas 10 veces hasta que sea difícil continuar, la quitas, diriges el chorro, presionas y ¡listo! Funciona tal cual debe funcionar.

بحثت عنه في متاجر عديدة واخيرًا وجدت بخاخ بالضغط ممتاز ويعمل بشكل رائع.. يجب تعبئة الزيت الى الخط الموضح او النصف فقط ليعمل البخاخ
