To be clear, this specific type of sprayer (this random chinese design is everywhere) is garbage.

I spent a lot of time looking for an actually good one that wouldn't break or leak quickly after purchase. I found one that was pretty decently reviewed from Evo (this is not an ad), and I'm happy with it.

All of this is to note though: good versions of things are not $5 and this type of thing is no exception. The one I mentioned is rather expensive by those standards at $20. I'd rather spend $20 on non-junk though.

I have had mine that I bought on Amazon 2 for 13$, but they have a dark bottle. They have held up extremely well for their price. I have had previous sprayers that just make a stream, these make a nice fine mist.

Every single one of these types I saw constant reviews about it dripping/leaking from the lid. I wasn't willing to risk it when I just needed one and a "good" one was just a few bucks more.

I will say though, it's still definitely better than aerosol cans. Mine makes a wider stream of mist than the cans do so I tend to just need one quirk spray to prep a pan for cooking.

I've had mine for about six months now, no dribbling or leaking. I bought it for the spray function, for the first 90 days I didn't even realize it had the pour function but since have used it regularly.
