Ratings & Reviews for Wagner Control Painter Handheld HVLP Paint Sprayer (Compatible with Stains)

Awesome

Was a little bit of a pain to fill.

Worked great for my trim and interior door project

Great for homeowners diy projects. This sprayer was recommended to me by a professional painter and is worked great. I painted 13 doors and over 1500 ft of baseboard and trim. We painted outside in good weather so the overspray wasn’t an issue. It might be possible to paint indoors but the overspray would have to be controlled. I did add a touch of water to the paint and that helped a lot. Clean up was easy with water running through the sprayer and it disassembles easily so it can be used many ...

Not very well balanced when filled with paint.

Actually have not used this unit, but have 2 other brands. They dont spray water based paints well and this design does not work as well as the older (15 yrs ago) sprayers, but does cost 2-3 times as much

think about something else

this is not for painting of a room at all! I will try it for stain and small things. so far I am not happy with it at all!

Nice but not a tough tool

The ease of using it was nice. But its not a tough tool i dropped it from the bench to garage floor short distance and it broke the contact between spray and handle right at the end of my 1st project with it. So have to get another one to finish because rolling the paint now will be too obvious. It was a great 1 day with it.

Too easy

Extremely easy to use and clean up afterwards. After reading the instructions which only took about 10 minutes I was painting like a professional and I’m the guy that can open a can of paint and have it all over me as if I had been painting houses for years.

Do not buy.

It constantly blew air out of the air sprayer without even pulling on the trigger and when paint hit the surface the air kept on blowing onto the surface.

Worth while purchase.

This sprayer works great. Made painting two rooms quick and easy. Easy clean up.

Very pleased

Over the years I've owned a couple of these types of players. My old Wagner from the early 1990s was loud, vibrated and hard to use. This one is fabulous. My friend received a warning from her HOA. She had to paint her house within 4 weeks or face a serious fine daily. Due to having no savings after COVID, she was in a panic. I bought this gun, read the instructions and after pressure washing her house had the street side painted within two moderate workdays. The actual spraying time was maybe f...

Excellent Sprayer

Excellent coverage, smooth and VERY easy to handle (a bit heavy, when painting over your head, but still simple).

Awesome for staining a fence

I had a 15 year old Wagner that gave out while staining a fence so I bought this to replace it. It's night and day in term of performance, This sprayer is quieter, sprays more evenly, and is easier to clean up. We stained approximately 200 linear feet of fence with two coats and there's no way we could have done it in a weekend without this device. The results look great. Can't speak to it's performance with paint, but with stain it's a winner.

Not Professional Grade But Solid Performance.

I like the fact it can spray latex paint without thinning. Ceilings, walls and decks are no problem with all the settings it has. Some major drawbacks include the air filter which quickly loads up with paint and constantly needs to be replaced as it's not really washable. It's also a pain to clean as the included brush doesn't fit the nozzle, so in the end, the time you save laying the paint down over a conventional roller is taken up by a 30 minute cleaning routine for every hour you use it.
