Ratings & Reviews for Wagner Control Spray QX2 Electric Handheld HVLP Paint Sprayer (Compatible with Stains)
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this sprayer for transforming staining projects, with many reporting dramatic time savings—from 15+ hours to under an hour—and highlighting even application, eliminated brush marks, and minimal overspray. Reviewers emphasize its lightweight design, simple operation, and quick cleanup. However, a notable group reports the sprayer performs poorly with paint, requiring excessive thinning or failing entirely. Some users experienced mechanical issues like clogs or inconsistent spray. The 20-ounce reservoir requires frequent refills, though most accept this trade-off. Overall, customers strongly recommend it for staining despite paint compatibility limitations.

Would RecommendI used this to paint T1 11 siding, some of which was new, and some which was very old. I used two coats of Valspar Duramax Flat Base 4 Tintable Latex Exterior Paint + Primer and didn't have to thin it at all AND IT WORKED GREAT!
Stain Application
Would RecommendSo far the unit has worked as advertised. It is a bit confusing about being able to use it for "certain paints". The instructions verses the web site and product page, I've used it for stain and will be trying with thinned paint. I wish the material container was larger as you have to refiill it often if spraying larger areas,

It's a good paint sprayer. Had no problems with it except the motor gets hot. Got to switch hands before it gets unbearable

Not great for indoor projects
Would Not RecommendBought for an indoor project, but it doesn’t work well for that purpose. To much air and no way to adjust it

Waste
Would RecommendThis is an absolute piece of junk. They know it or they'd have an appropriate return policy. I ended up just tossing it.

Worked well…except…
Would RecommendThe only issue I found was the stain volume adjustment screw. It is too loose and I was constantly having to adjust it. I finally wrapped some teflon tape around the threads and it stopped turning on its own. Other than that, great little sprayer!

Do not buy!
Would Not RecommendThe sprayer is garbage. Was able to use one time, with multiple starts and stops. When I did finally get it to work, it sprays too much stain. To get it to the correct spray amount the knob is right on the edge of falling off, which happened numerous times while spraying. The second time trying to use and it took the hand of God to get it to work. After refill, it will no longer spray. I took it apart completely, made sure nothing was clogged, nothing. This was a waste of money. Buying another o...
