Would RecommendI almost took the product back. I bought it with the box opened and mangled but decided to roll the dice. The first project I used it on was a sliding barn door baby gate. I have a test spray on cardboard and after being satisfied I shot the door. After the first pass I was skeptical. After completing the side, a cleaned the gun and was set on trying to return it. The finish wasn't desired. It was like it was fish eyed. After drying and sanding I decided to give the gun another shot. I played wi...

Makes painting so easy!
Would RecommendI bought this sprayer to paint the brickwork on the exterior of my home. This sprayer did EXCELLENT. It was able to breach the nooks and crannies that my roller and paint brush were unable to get. The paint went on smoothly and evenly. It is very easy to use and makes lightwork out of large tasks! Would purchase again!

Decent but I don’t feel worth the price
Would RecommendThis item works as advertised. I just feel it is pretty highly priced for how often you have to refill it

Useless
Would Not RecommendIt worked fine when we tested it with water. When we put paint in it, it clogged right away. So we cleaned it out and filled it with watered down paint and it stilled clogged. We cleaned it again and watered the paint a little more. Then the paint was too drippy. So we gave up and used a roller. The worst $100.00 I ever spent.

We're sorry to hear it's not working for you. It is sold as being able to spray stains, sealers and thinned latex paint. Did you mix the paint well, ...

Easy-To-Do
This made my waterproofing of my privacy fence and gate door so easy. The Wagner is easy to use and assemble, it just makes my life easier. The best thing about Lowe’s is that they will price match as long as you show them the competitions price on your phone.

"Blower" not a "Sprayer"
Would Not RecommendI ran in to buy this after reading a few reviews and going by the rating. I was not in the mood to set up my airless sprayer and thought this handheld was a nice option for smaller jobs. First, it is not an airless or even a sprayer. It is more of a blower that throws paint into a strong airstream and it does "paint" but not very accurately. More like a texture gun. Not for me, returned it. On a side note; with the container full of paint this thing is heavy and will wear you out quickly.
These are HVLP systems, High Volume Low Pressure air is what atomizes your material. They operate at about 3-4 psi. Very different from an airless. T...

Works Like The Pros
Would RecommendI bought this paint sprayer a few weeks back and it works great! I'm a novice at painting and I was able to paint my entire home interior which saved me hundreds of dollars. It's easy to assemble, clean and use. The sprayer does have a bit of an over spray so be sure to follow the instructions and cover what you don't want paint on. I recommend covering 1.5-2x the safe area to be extra cautious. Also be sure to rinse and clean properly after every use and allow the parts to dry before switching ...

Good sprayer
Would RecommendSprayer does a good job for the money but after spraying a gallon and a half of paint the filter clogged and I can't find one anywhere. There is no way you can properly clean the sprayer in 5 minutes but it does a good job and is comfortable to use.

Wagner Paint Sprayer
Would RecommendRecently my husband and I stained our back yard fence. It took five gallons of stain. We decided to try this sprayer. We couldn’t believe how easy it was to use and we were able to complete the entire fence in less than two hours, including cleaning up the sprayer. Highly recommend.

GOOD BUY
Would RecommendI had one of these paint sprayers years ago and gave up on it because it was so difficult to clean. THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. I used a semi-transparent stain and it cleaned up easily. Also, the instructions for using it were excellent. I sprayed a wooden fence with it and saved much, much, time! Glad to be back in the spray paint saddle again!
