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

Waste of my Money

Bought this paint sprayer after it was recomended by paint person at Lowes. Will never listen to them again. We added onto the house a couple months ago and I needed to paint a bedroom. Paint left globs all over the wall, had to let paint dry and sand walls then painted with a roller. Paint was all over the front of the sprayer dripping from the nozzle Then today I tried to paint under a sink where I had to repair some sheetrock. Paint shot out in one squirt then start running down the front of ...

Do not buy!

After using the product for about 15 min it started to splatter instead of a nice even spray. I thought maybe it was low on paint but that was not the case. Had to stop and clean the nozzle and start again. To my surprise it did the exact same thing. So this time I added some thinner to the paint to see if that would make a difference and it did not. Thankfully Lowes, with their great customer service as always, let me return it for a refund.

Pure Junk

Run away if you see this sprayer and need to do good work. Total junk bad spray patterns drools all over the gun and hands and on down to the floor. Also it will wear your arms out holding this up very poor balance, and forget any weird angles you might need to use.

did not function properly

I ended up taking this back. It spit paint out in big blobs and when you let off the trigger paint continued to flow from from the nozzle.

first time buyer

I wasnt sure what brand i wanted. I knew that I didnt want to pay a lot of money. Im not a pro painter Im just a home owner. I picked this item because it was the same price as another one but offered more... on the box. Reminder check the box at the store. when I got home I discovered it was already used and not completely clean. I had no choice i had to use it. I used it to paint my exterior of my house. As for use it works. Its a little messy. You have wipe the spray area down every so often ...

Quick

The painter was easy to set up, learned to control it fairly quickly and started painting right away. The adjustable paint pattern made it easy to paint corners or baseboards and the adjustable pressure was nice.

terrible for indoor use

I returned this after 1 min of use product says for indoor use but it makes a paint dust all over your entire house

Very handy tool for painting large areas

This paint sprayer was a very good product. We used it on the concrete walls of our whole downstairs basement. We felt it saved on time and it did a really good job once we got used to using it. I would recommend it

Good for intended purpose. Spray adjustment very useful.

This product has many flaws!!!

I bought this product knowing that it had many flaws, however I still need to get the painting done. After 3 months of owner ship and some adjustment on how it sprays paint everywhere the trigger broke and now it is on when I plug it in or off when it is unplugged. I cannot find a replacement trigger on the parts list and every time I call the 1-800-328-8251 no one answers.

Good product

I just purchased PaintReady sprayer and was using it for 4 hours. Overall i would say it is working as expected and it is doing job especially for non tinned havy paint sach as latex. I realize it is spending a lot of paint and that is what i was looking for for good coverage stained concrete wall, first time painted. I read a lot of review for this and for different products and definitelly i would say Wagner is the right brand to go with and i see customer servis is giving their best. What els...

Good product for the money

My first time using a spray painter...I had trouble painting the ceiling...Guess I needed a different product. Holding the sprayer to aim at the ceiling made it difficult to access the paint. The unit is a little heavy to hold when standing on a ladder and painting high places.

Works great

The first one I got I had problems with it and then it just quit. I took it back and got one just like it and it works like a charm. It worked like a was supposed to.

Don't read into the negative reviews.

I bought this sprayer for refinishing my bathroom cabinet doors. I hesitated after reading all the negative reviews. This sprayer worked very well without having to thin my interior latex paint. The first coat went on without any issues. One thing I figured out right away was in order to get the fine finish I needed for cabinets I would have to by the fine finish attachment. I gave the doors a light sanding then sprayed them with the fine finish sprayer and they turned out beautiful. This spraye...

Three uses and it's junk!

It's my third time using, gun heats up while in use, I have a little bit of paint around rim of container now it's impossible to remove the paint container. I would understand if I had let it sit, but it stuck just after use, and very oddly shaped so it's extremely difficult to remove the paint container. Not to mention the spray gun is very sensitive it has to be perfectly cleaned for use for the paint to come out properly, my suggestion go with a different brand of spray gun.

Great sprayer

We painted our cabinets and wanted the "professional look" that can only be obtained by spraying. My wife went to Lowe's and after an hour of interactions with multiple FANTASTIC staff members, decided on the Wagner PaintReady Sprayer. I took it out of the box and was spraying within 20 minutes, including reading the instructions. WOW, results are fantastic! Can't tell from the pic, but the finish is even and perfect. We brushed on one coat of primer and then sprayed Valspar Reserve Paint+Primer...

Had higher expectations...

Was unclear as to how to attach the yellow nozzle that was an extra attachment. Messy process - adding paint, sprays everywhere and on everything, meaning it splatters. messy clean up and red width adjustment piece broke off, and sprayer became inoperable after only having for one week.

Not worth carrying home

I purchased a Paintready sprayer to paint some wicker furniture. It definitely was not worth carrying home. The paint sprayed in globs and ran down out of the spray head while spraying. Followed the trouble shooting info in the manual with no benefit. Definitely not a good product.

It was a very good purchase

I think the more I use this Paint Sprayer, the more efficient I'll become. I did notice that there were paint dropping/ drops after I started painting my board-walk. I maybe something that I did not do properly preparing to use the Sprayer. It was sure a heck of a lot faster than a roller or paint brush. I think/ hope that I will get a whole lot better . Clean up on it was faster then a brush or roller. I was able to put 2 coats on my board-walk in just a couple of hours, very efficiently. where...
