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

Works Great!!

I've had a Wagner Power Sprayer 4.2 GPH p/n 0285050 since 2005 and it finally gave up the ghost. Having over 300 balusters to paint, I bought a cheap branded sprayer. What a mistake! It took me over 5 hours to partially paint 60 balusters, having to constantly unclog the device. I went out and bought this device and the day was saved! It took me less than 10 minutes to finish up the 60 pieces. Read the manual carefully and you won't have any problems at all with material flow and spray pattern. ...

It’s just OK

Bought it last weekend and used it to paint my interior doors. When I sprayed the paint, it was really splotchy. Overall, the coverage was great, fast and easy.

Liked it, BUT....

Bought this to do ceilings that were being retextured. I have a lot of experience with airless sprayers, having sprayed numerous exteriors and interiors of newly built homes. The overspray inside is toxic. So, I decided to purchase a Wagner PaintReady Station HVLP sprayer for my ceiling project. It took a big of getting use to as the material does not come out as strong or fast as an airless. Glad I needed to shoot primer first. The result was pretty good, but did have some clogging is...

Poor product performance

I purchased this product to spray my basement ceiling. Day 1 I began spraying the ceiling and everything was going great...used a paint thinner and I completed about half of it. I followed the instructions and cleaned this product thoroughly. The next day I started spraying again and a minute or two in this product clogged, so I took it apart cleaned it again and began to spray...once again it clogged. I tried to clean again, but was still had issues. I spent hours spraying as it barely spit out...

so easy to use

bought this sprayer to paint kitchen cabinets, i was able to do this outside. sprayer was amazing, nice even spray, no thinning required, easy clean up! saved me countless hours of work, and i could never have got the results i did!!

Wagner paint ready

Easy to use. Have to thin the paint just a bit, but very easy clean up. All paint is usable. Highly recommend.

Use to paint a basement ceiling

I used the paint ready station to paint a basement ceiling. It was quick, and cleanup was a snap. Had some issues getting the spray dialed in at first using a gallon a lot sooner than i had expected. Overall, once I got the hang of using the machine and the nozzle settings, the job went super quick, and the results are fantastic.

Great paint sprayer

I used this paint sprayer to paint numerous projects, it works great! The sprayer is easy to use as well. I would recommend this paint sprayer.

Terrible spray

Trying to paint a walk-in closet and this sprayer started right from the box doing a terrible job. Barely spitting any paint. It appears there’s so much hot air coming out of it that it dries the paint as it comes out of the nozzle, almost immediately causing a nasty goober of snotty paint that clogs it.

Paint sprayer

It was used by my grandson to paint his room. It lacked the power and coverage we expected.

Good for price

Good even spray. Volume a bit limited. Had issues with oil based sealer but water soluble was fine.

Worked Great for my Large Fence

I used this with Gabot full cover deck stain (color was Red Tile) without needing to thin out the mixture. Cleaning was easy as the gun disassembled nearly completely. I used mild soapy water.

Stop Working!!!

I bought this in November 2018 used it for a week, cleaned it, put it away went to go use it again last week and the unit will not power on at all.

NOT WITH UNTHINNED LATEX AS STATED

It says most latex paints will work unthinned. I already had the paint that couldnt be thinned. Two different semigloss paints. I tried both paints and every setting they had. Neither paint sprayed well. It looked like spackle and the tip was clogged in less than 30 seconds. I bought this sprayer because it said it was used for unthinned paint. I would NEVER recommend this for paint right out of the can. I have 3x the work into my trim now as I have to sand and redo every bit of what I t...

Owened for about 4 years

This product works ok, but it must be cleaned after each use. Do not clean it as per the instruction book, it must be totally disassembled after each use. You must clean the inside so no dried paint remains and this no easy job, if you do not the next time you use it the dried paint will sluff off and clog the orifice. If you are using it for more than thirty minutes you must take it apart and clean it or it will fill up with dried paint and start spiting globes.

Surprisingly Impressed

I bought this for a couple of small areas on the exterior of my small house. The unit does a great job; no clogging, no excess over-spray, and super easy to clean up. I ended up using this unit to paint the entire house instead of renting an airless sprayer. Make no mistake, if you've got a big job, get a real sprayer. For rooms and smaller projects, this little thing does great.

A pain to clean up and lots of overspray
