Ratings & Reviews for Wagner Control Spray QX5 Electric Handheld HVLP Paint Sprayer (Compatible with Stains)

Nice for DIY

Everything was as promised. Gives good coverage for a DIY project. Takes a little getting use to the spray volume controls. Overall a good buy.

Is a bit heavy after using some time

worked great

Easy to use!

Great value for this product - easy to use

It works well, but only if it is kept clean.

Bought this to apply stain to my fence (Cabot Australian Timber Oil). Spraying is easy, but refilling is difficult and frequent. If doing a large fence, the gun only holds enough to do a couple panels before needing a refill. I bought a 5-gallon bucket of stain and had to purchase a transfer pump for easier refilling. Generally, just a messy process.

Efficient and easy to use

The spray gun performed as advertised made staining a split dog ear fence fairly easy adjustment for volume is critical and should and can only be done when applying product ( runs or too dry easy to adjust) not first Wagner product and I depend on consistent performance which they deliver

Needs Improvement

Used this sprayer once without any issues. During the second project, the sprayer stopped functioning and would not draw paint from the canister. All trouble shooting steps failed to fix the problem so I retuned it for exhange to another, more costly model. So far, the updated model seems to be working correctly

Better than I imagined

Had several spindles on a very large porch and steps going up, tried brushing on semi transparent stain and was very disappointed with the brush strokes. Had a painter suggest the Wagner spray HVLP unit. Extremely happy with the results and easy cleanup.

Excellent DIY

Very easy and simple to use

Died on day 1

My wife and I just bought out first house so I was excited to get rolling with this. I watched a ton of YouTube videos. Thinned my paint to be safe. After 2 ceilings it died. Lowe's won't swap or return. You have to go through Wagner. Now I'm rolling paint to keep our move-in date on track.

great product

This is great product. Cut my time painting fence in half.

Great product

I had old paint sprayer that quit working and went and brought QX5. This made painting my fence so much easier and it also did better job.

Wagner QX5

Was looking at the QX2 but decided to go with QX5 due to higher coverage. Old Wagner stopped working and needed replacement. it was worth the money. canaster holds over a quart and i sprayed water first to check spray pattern. sprayed as soon as i hit the trigger. switched over to undiluted paint and again started spraying paint as soon as i hit trigger. No waiting. made quick work with a 12 by 20 shed. clean up was simple. took less than 10 minutes. not as loud as old Wagner, sounds like a dril...

Advertised as $105 on the website but when I went to the local Lowes it was marked $129. Attendant stated they can't price match online price. I talked to a manager, and he was very courteous and said the same thing but went ahead and matched the price. Nothing on the Lowes website indicates that the price is online purchase only. Complaint is against Lowes. The product works just fine, no issues.

Very poor

We have a very poor quality Wagner paint sprayer, used 3 times and started having big troubles ! Wouldn't start up, then came back on, then quit and that was it ! Used 3 times ! Beware !!! stay far away from anything wagner !!!

Worked great for the job

I researched some options of sprayers for staining my fence. A lot of people recommended getting the airless sprayer because it would save time and lays a better application. But I just couldn't bring myself to pay around $400 for a tool I hope to only need to use once every 2 years or so. I watched some videos on this model and saw someone use it to stain a fence and it seemed to work fine so I took a chance on it. And I was happily surprised with how well it worked. It seemed easier to get set...

Wagner sprayer (excellent)

This Wagner sprayer cut staining my cedar house in half, it really surprised me how well it performs, highly recommended
