WagnerSpraytech 2422951 Control Pro 130 Paint Sprayer Kit, High Efficiency Airless Sprayer with Low Overspray & 12" Extension, 515 & 413 Tip for Large Projects, Yellow

I found this item really easy to use and clean up afterwards. I think it’s a great item that really saved me a lot of time and effort when it comes to painting. Its straight to the point with easy to follow instructions. It does have a lot of features and is built well. Its a trusted brand that's why I bought it. The spray pattern can be adjusted. This was my first time using this type of machine and it came out better than I thought. If you like or hate painting, I would suggest this machine. I don't care for painting, so I was looking for a quick get it done solution and this was it.

It works great for me, you just have to properly clean it after.

CHEAP PLASTIC PARTS. Spray gun worked great for the first 3 gallons, then the trigger return broke so it takes two hands to stop the spray. After 6 gallons the seals around the nozzle failed, so now it leaks more paint than it sprays. No way to fix it. GARBAGE, WASTE OF MONEY. On top of that, cleaning this thing after a job is a royal pain. The sprayer tank needs to detach from the compressor so it can be washed under a garden hose. The spray gun needs a connection to the hose so the gun can be replaced with a reliable alternative, instead of being permanently attached to the hose. The spray hose is coiled up so tight its effective reach is only 8 or 10 feet. The power cord is only a foot or so long so an extension cord is required. And it makes an awful racket when the compressor is running.

Good

I bought a second home in a different state and had old panelling removed and cracked plaster fixed in 6 rooms. figured I save a few bucks and paint myself but I forgot my old Wagner sprayer at home. Thank God I did. looked it up and this generations models looked much simpler to setup and use. Ordered it and Amazon had it to me the next day.for this model there is no need to dilute the paint, just dip the pickup wand into a 1-5 gallon paint bucket, prime the pump until paint comes out the handle, install the nozzle and away you go. You've got greater control over the pressure and spray pattern than with the handheld unit and as a result there is far less overspray and paint mist in the air. I still masked and used painters tape to get a nice clean edge, but if you careful and practiced the pattern is so tight you could probably get away with a clean straight edged piece of cardboard.There are far less nozzle jams and you don't have to disassemble the unit to clear, just turn the nozzle backwards and spray for couple of seconds on a piece of scrap then turn it back. The standard hose it long enough so you don't have to move the pump or paint can to do an average size room. I covered all 6 rooms in ceiling white in about 3 hours from a 5 gallon bucket. The walls and trim took another day and a half, because of the color changes and masking.Clean-up in between colors and in the end was a breeze compared to the old handheld model. Remove the nozzle, Remove the pickup wand from the paint can and put it in bucket of water, Run the pump until the hose and handle are out of paint (because this is straight paint you can put it back into original can), Once water starts coming out run the pump into a spare bucket until the water runs clear. If you're not going to use the unit for a while dry and add a few of drops of oil to the pump and run it a few seconds. Disassemble and handwash the spray handle and nozzle (about 6 pieces) in soapy water and dry and you're done.I donated my old handheld unit to Goodwill when I got back home. Honestly even for 1 room this would be just as fast as paintbrush and rollers when you include setup and cleanup. If you're thinking about it get it, there are plenty of videos on Youtube that detail how to setup and use. I too was skeptical but it is just as quick and easy as they show.

I love it!!! We have painted the whole house

Contractor loves it!

I’m gonna talk to text here, so apologies for any typos.I got this thinking, OK, I’m not a professional. I’m just painting a shed and occasional smaller wood projects. I used it for a WD-40 like oil for my car initially called ACF 50 and it did a stunning job. I had been wasting years putting ACF50 in spray bottles. Clean up with the oil based chemical was not a huge deal, I even left it in there for a few days prior to going out and buying cleaner… They run about $11 for a jug of paint sprayer cleaner FYI, so every time you use this device, you will have to wash it out thoroughly with soap, water, and then Ideally a thinner or cleaner, so keep in mind that every single time you use this you will be spending about $10, excluding the price of paint.However, as soon as I put bears premium plus paint in this and follow the same steps, I took a backfire in the face. I tried several times to resolve this, but I don’t know what went wrong. Of course the initial thought is my bad. I screwed something up, clean it out and then try again when you’re not eight hours steep into DIY projects. I tried a 311 tip, re-priming, etc. I don’t know what was happening. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized, this paint sprayer, kind of holds a gallon of paint and runs through it really quickly and God do I hate cleaning this darn thing it makes working with it miserable, not to mention the amount of waste water if you care about that sort of thing. I get it, all paint involves a lot of waste, but I like enjoyable experiences, it’s that simple. The container itself feels a little bit cheap and flimsy like there’s some Chinese small motor at the bottom of it and a plastic container and I just knew that it’s gonna be a disaster in a couple of months. I think you wanna go metal here so that you can really get in there and pressure wash stuff For cleaning purposes. So anyways, after having to clean my eyes out and mulling on it for two days, I realized this is a little bit too amateur for my needs anyways and I’m pssed off about the backfire that I don’t know why or what went wrong. The only thing I can think of is thinning the paint more?So ultimately, I read a bunch of reviews that pretty much said from people that had experience that this is kind of good for entry-level but just not great for larger projects and by larger projects I don’t mean contracting grade. I just mean like a large wall or a serious DIY purposes I don’t think large is a good description here that’s why I avoided the first time. But the way I see it now large projects just means better and more efficient. So I upgraded to another model, not Wagner because my eyes still hurt.
