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

time saver

Cut fence staining time in half. Probably used more stain than rolling. But worth it. Cleans easily.

Avoid

I’ve gone through three of these remodeling my house. One broke because it wasn’t cleaned properly but the other two just fried the motor on it, avoid this model. Personally I’ll just be buying from a different company all together.

Works Once...

Purchased this to finish our kitchen cabinets. After one use, the finish was super splotchy. I can't even get it to work now. It is super hard to clean. The design is just terrible. Put your money into something nicer.

Works well but Quality is below Average

I've used this sprayer to stain my fence and it did a great job BUT the power button doesn't work anymore after just 1 week of use. Sprayer will not turn off

Just get one

First off, I almost never write reviews but I have to express how much I love this product from Wagner. I had a large 600 sq ft pressure treated deck built several years ago. The first year after it was built I stained it by hand brushing a semi-transparent Cabot stain. It took me a 2 full agonizing days and 20 hours of work.. It was a painstaking job brushing every single one of those wood balusters and all the nooks and crannies and I was sore for a week after. Fast forward a few years and ...

Great buy

Purchased to put Linseed oil on cedar fence. Very easy to use. Much faster than bucket/brush. Looks great too. Only thing is I wonder how much more product I had to buy for ease of application. Definitely worth it for me!

Wagner paint sprayer

This is the first time I have used a paint sprayer, it works well and I was using thick paint, just be sure you mask off any area you do not want to get paint overspray on. The reason I am giving it 4 and not 5 stars is it is loud, this might be normal for sprayers but I thought the motor for its size was loud.

amazing

I had the previous Wagner power painter and it had many parts that complicated assembly and cleaning. If you didn't get it just right, it didn't work. Frustrated, I went and bought another, the next version and it not only works like a dream but has minimal parts to disassemble and is very user freindly. I am super happy with this purchase. Thanks, Mariana

Light weight with many pro features

I purchased this Wagner handheld sprayer to do one job that would have taken me two days to hand paint but only took an hour and a half to spray. It was well worth it! In my pictures I tried to show where the nozzle is adjustable to spray horizontal or vertical, where the paint flow is adjustable by numbers, and where to change from wide to narrow spray pattern. My project was spraying the underneath side of a large deck roof and I was pleased the unit is light weight and didn't kill my arm. A...

Wagner sprayer

It makes outdoor painting of my patio and deck easier for a non pro. I made nozzel spray adjustments on the fly it maked it go smoothly. The hard to reach painting corners, often difficult with a paint brush also easier. Cleanup is almost effortless, your done in half the time. No mistake painting is still work but the day goes by quick and you enjoy your body of work.

worthless

To start with this is the first time I have used a "home use" sprayer. I worked in apartment maintenance for years have had extensive experience with commercial-grade sprayers. The sprayer has a collar behind the nozzle that is supposed to adjust paint flow, it did not. 1 threw 6 did nothing. could not engage the sprayer. just after 7, it would finally engage the sprayer but there was no difference in flow rate after that. If you hold it perfectly level you can get a halfway decent clean s...

Excellent

My fire department uses this as a disinfectant fogger for COVID-19 so I also purchased it with theCorrect chemicals and I also use it at home

New room

Our son painted our ceiling and walls in the living room evenly. He was so quick and did an amazing job.

work great for staining

The sprayer seems to work great as a stain applying. Did have a problem in that the on-off switch quit working during the first gallon of stain. Had to unplug to start and stop. I will be returning the sprayer for a new one.

Get a better one

Needed to paint my shed, purchased this to save on time. It worked great for about 30 minutes. Once I was completed it started spraying paint on its own. I had brown paint everywhere, luckily it was outside. I cleaned the sprayer very well and put water in the unit, it did the same exact thing, so I returned it to Lowe's and got my money back. This is a piece of junk, spend more money for the better unit.

Leaked everywhere then motor died.

Leaked everywhere on day 1. Went to tech support. They told me over the phone how to really get in and clean it. Day 2- put it all back together after soaking like i was told. Motor ran for 10 seconds and died. Troubleshoot guide said try smaller extension cord. Check. Try a different out light. Check. Try plugging straight into outlet withiut extension. Check. No power. Called tech. Tecj said wait an hour. If it works it just needed the built in reset. If not, replace. It did n...
