Misto M100S Gourmet Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer

I like adding a touch of olive oil to my dishes, but the problem is it comes out far too easily from bottle = gobs of unwanted fat and kcals; hence the purchase.

There are three things that eventually made me discard the product:

1) LOUD-ASS BRAND NAME ON PRODUCT: this was just annoying in the first place, but because it seemed like the best oil sprayer available on amazon, I bought it anyway and covered it with electrical tape.

2) INCONSISTENT SPRAYING: after similar levels of pressure/pumping, sometimes you'd get a mist, sometimes it would shoot out in a relatively fine stream. Having it stream defeats the purpose of the sprayer.

3) OIL LEAKAGE!: this was the act that caused me to toss the thing. Oil began to leak not only from the suction 'tube' inside, but also from the white screw-on cap. Oil drips all over the place; not fun.

Annoying and dysfunctional does not a great product make.

We have had two of these already and both eventually failed. Usually the spray evolves into a stream, and then the plastic spray mechanism, which seems very cheaply made, totally fails.

After trying a couple of other atomizers that did not work, I ordered the Misto with low expectations and it's performance exceeded them.

It has to be pumped after 30 seconds or so of spraying, but it is easy and fast process. I relieve residual pressure after using it and it has not clogged after several weeks of use.

Good product at a fair price.

I'm so happy with this Misto thing. Now I have olive oil flavor without too many unnecessary calories. I just wanted to add one small note to what others have said. My Misto started streaming instead of misting one day and all I had to do was pump it up a little more. I don't know if that will always solve the problem, but it worked for me. Also, when I was pumping it up I noticed it was getting low on oil, so I added a bit. Not too much though! The instructions say to put about 2 oz in there. That's not much, but you'd be surprised how long it lasts when you don't have an oil slick on your salads anymore. Anyway, I liked it so much I bought a second one. Not sure if I'll put canola or sesame oil in it. Maybe I need a third one...

get product. really conserves the olive oil and puts just the right amount on whatever.
