  I've had a few over many years of gardening and they last about 10 years before they give up.
  I've bought from garden centres and more recently from Amazon. 
  Eventually the seals blow - sometimes you can replace the o rings if it's just that. If not I buy a new one.
  
  This is the one I've had for 7-8 yrs-

  I guess I use it about 10x/yr
  
  My only minor gripe is that the measurements are embossed on the opaque plastic so are not easy to see.
  I rubbed a permanent marker over the marks to make them readable

  Ok thank you peter. Maybe I was just unlucky and should give this sort of sprayer another go ... I’d certainly take 8-10 years !

  I keep it in the garage so it's out of the light and frost free which probably helps. I store the flask and the plunger separately so they dry out properly between use.
