Ratings & Reviews for Wagner Flexio 590 Handheld HVLP Paint Sprayer

Invest and you shall prosper

I really don't think I could have made a better investment. Anyone that says there is too much overspray or clumping, leaking, etc either did not give it the time, did not keep it clean or simply do not know how to read directions. This was the first sprayer I have ever used. I sprayed the aluminum siding on my house and garage with both primer and paint in 90 degree weather (not my choice - only free weekend) with ease. The house is 1200 sq. feet, garage around 300 and it only took me about 5 1...

Awesome for wood lattice

I got this after realizing that hand staining 4 sheets of wood lattice would be an insane amount of time and work. I was able to stain 4 sheets (4'x8') in about 25 minutes - one side only since the other side isn't in view. That breaks down to about 6 minutes per side. Once you learn how to use it you're golden. I didn't even use the included practice sheet and I got the hang of it almost immediately. The key for me was just using a consistent motion and keeping the head the same angle and d...

What a waste!

Maybe it was just the sprayer I got but what a waste of time and money. Lowe's did take it back with just a few questions on its performance. I will give Lowe's five stars in customer service. I purchased this sprayer to replace my Grayco which after 6 years decided to die. I choose to go with the Wagner as my Grayco did not have any adjustment and way to much over spray, but boy it would put paint on a wall. Wagner however wow what a piece of junk! The sprayer will not spray un-thined paints, p...

Not worth the money!

The first use was perfect! I took it apart, cleaned the machine and put a different color in the paint holder. It worked fine for about the first two minutes then it stopped working properly. Overall frustrated with the product.

I love the sprayer! Worked really well and was light weight and very quiet.

We used the Wagner sprayer to do our outdoor metal furniture. We are "beginners", so we read the instructions, but more importantly, we watched the Wagner and YouTube videos. The videos really helped with set up and clean up. We followed the directions and had no problems. I was amazed at how light weight it was and happy that it was so much quieter than the old one that I had years ago. I can't wait for another project to use it again!

Great Sprayer

I have purchased sprayers in the past and ended up returning them. I needed to paint my deck and I started it by hand, not fun!!! So I decided to do a little research and on this sprayer and watch some youtube videos. One video show the sprayer just leaking out paint from the nozzle after the trigger is released. I was concerned about this. With that being said most of the other reviews were favorable. I bought the sprayer and brought it home. Like a kid in a candy store I unwrapped my new toy, ...

impossible to get an appropriate finish

Bought this sprayer to finish custom cabinets after reading some great reviews. After playing with all settings and paint mix, after hours of youtube research it was impossible to get anything other than a textured finish with massive overspray and paint spitting all the time. I can not envisage this being useful for any painting need. Have resorted to employing a professional, Lowes were good enough to accept the products return.

Great sprayer for first time user BUT...

First time user of any Wagner product. Comes in nice case to keep everything together. My first project was to spray a 20 foot wide metal garage door. Purchased 1 gallon of Rusttoleum Oil based Enamel paint (for metal). I was painting an original dark grey garage door to a Bright Gloss White. Tested the sprayer on a large piece of paper taped to the door. Setting was best at 4-1/2 for pressure and about half open on paint trigger. Wow! It worked great! Covered the dark color very easy, even wit...

Quit working

Purchased in 10/15. Used for a small job. About 45 minutes of painting front of house. It performed as expected. Tried using it again a week ago, Started working fine but after 20 seconds, it quit completely. I called tech support. They asked if there was paint in the handheld section as that would cause the motor to fail. I have not inspected yet and feel I shouldn't have to as I assembled properly. told I would need to ship, at my time and expense, back to them. Once they look at, they would d...

Be Sure

Got the Flexio 590 paint sprayer to help me out but only using it for about one hour the paint got sucked up in the motor some how . Of course you can't buy a warranty for this item ( go figer ) . They did give me another one but I haven't use it yet .

DO NOT BUY!

I bought this product to paint a few cabinet doors. It worked great the first time. The second time paint backed up into the motor and shorted it out. I will be calling Wagner to request a refund.

Works great, good value

I love this product. BUT, it takes some practice to get it right. My situation: Painting 3 interior rooms. Using Behr Latex with Eggshell finish. Straight pour; no thinning or other additive. Re-coat with same color. Initially, the flexio was putting FAR TOO MUCH paint on the wall. 20 mins after spraying when I would check the wall, there would be multiple, large drips. My only option was to go back over the area with a roller. The instructions tell you to turn up the power and paint volu...

exceeded my highest expectations!

I have owned many Wagner products of the decades and had from decent to great performance. This Flexio 590 is by far the most amazing paint sprayer I have ever used! This has many more really valuable features the 570 does not have. Buy the 590 for sure. In the past few weeks I have created painting projects so I could use this sprayer. It if flassless in it's performance. I even used the smaller detail union on some inside cabinets and I was blown away at the quality of the job. Very little ove...

Good Buy for DIYers

I read the product reviews on this one and the lesser priced product. A representative from Wagner comment about on that product after the customer commented that the paint had to be thinned. As a result I spent the extra money and could not be happier. I started on the fence and 20 mins later I ran out of paint and had a 3rd of the fence finished in 1/3 the time I would have spent doing it by hand. I have several other projects that need lots of painting and this by far saves time. After readin...

You Win, Flexio 590. You Win.

I so badly wanted our relationship to be different, Flexio 590. I wanted us to be like those happy, smiling people in your commercials, painting their deck chairs and fences with you as if they didn't have a care in the world. But that's not what happened, is it? You refused to paint my shelves. You refused to paint my wicker baskets. In fact, you've refused to paint anything I attempted over the last seven months. I give up. I gave you three chances, and we're through. You're going to live with...

Dissapointed-Took it back after first use.

Paint spattered. Tried several adjustments no luck. Not a smooth spray. Trying to find an ariless hand held sprayer.

Product was reasonable

Overall I would never buy another one as they don't support their products. I'm in need of some replacement parts and went where I bought it. Product is not supported at all. The salespeople don't care, aren't knowledgeable on them . Has left me very disappointed.
