    Spray Bottles changed design?

    This past year I purchased 2 spray bottles like the one pictured with the long curved siphon tube & was totally impressed with it because of the pressure & siphon tube. I can use it at almost any angle & use almost all the product in the bottle. They’re soooo good, I recently bought 3 more. To my disappointment, they came with very short siphon tubes & not as efficient as the old bottles. Now I wonder, are they the wrong siphon tubes or is someone cutting back on quality trying to save the almighty dollar?

    Re: Spray Bottles changed design?

    I wouldn't necessarily say cutting back on quality as it's probably the same bottle and the same siphon material. It IS definately saving cost though - looks like two inches of siphon hose per bottle times however many bottles are sold. That probably equals a good savings = more profit. Nothing wrong with that, a corporation should try to be cost effective; after all that's why they're in business.

    As a user, you (and others) now have to decide if the change is better or worse and if you should now purchase another vendors bottle that meets your specifications.

    By the way, it looks like the whole handle assembly has changed configuration also.

    Totally understand your point. Not cost effective in my case. For that reason I wouldn't buy another one, and for what? One or Two cents?
