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

Great product

The sprayer solved our issue w/ a popcorn ceiling that would not take the paint. The painting crew that painted my entire house used the sprayer on every ceiling w/o any issues. It was a much better option than renting one- cost & ease of use. Thank you Thank you

This is my second Wagner spray painter and I' m pleased to say it seems Quieter and had less vibration than the previous one. I definitely would recommend it for many uses around the house. I used it most recently to paint our bedroom furniture . Some spots on the headboard would have been impossible with a brush so the sprayer was invaluable. Also the drawers on the dressers were very easy.

Must be something wrong

I got the sprayer set up, read the directions, and started painting. It was spraying a little thick, so released the trigger to adjust the flow, as in the directions, the paint kept dribbling out of the orffice, all over the paint container, and all over my floor of my garage. It had also sprayed globs of paint on the doors I was painting as it bled off the pressure. I had to set it down to get a brush to smooth out the globs. It was still oozing out paint so I picked it up and sprayed the other...

Had to return

I already owned one of these at home but was over 7 years old and decided to get a new one to paint my laundry room. Item was already put together in the box and ready to go. After reading all of the instructions, put in the paint and began to spray. They spray was great and it was easy to use BUT, when you let up on the trigger paint began to pour out the front of the sprayer for about 30 seconds. I continued to make adjustments and try again; however, each time I sprayed the paint came pouring...

Nozzle Tip Cracked during 2nd use

Worked great first use. Started dripping paint profusely during 2nd use. Cleaned and found the cracked nozzle tip. Apparently a common problem, and I will call customer service to get some replacement nozzles. I believe this is due to turning the nozzle assembly to adjust from vertical to horizontal pattern. The black plunger/piston on my unit does not turn easily. And it is the nozzle tip that turns the plunger/piston when you adjust pattern. Once I get replacement nozzle, I will avoid adjustin...

easy to use and easy to clean

Very nice indoor outdoor sprayer. Simple to use, does a great job and easy to clean. Reduced the painting time of my fence immensely.

Worked good the first day.

Had 1700 sq ft of fence to stain. Worked excellent first day. Had to stop just short of being finished due to the wife wanting to grill some kabobs without over-spray getting on them. I did however, flush and clean the equipment as per the Owners Manual. Second day...had about a 10 ft. stretch of fence to finish. Got to the very end and the sprayer started puking out stain from the nozzle even without the trigger depressed. Just pointing the nozzle towards the ground, stain flowed freely from th...

Stick with a brush

Advertised, as per the box, as able to spray un-thinned latex paint. After reading the instruction manual I learned this was not always the case but I decided to try it any way. My initial attempt with the un-thinned paint clogged the sprayer immediately. After cleaning the sprayer I attempted to spray again with generously thinned latex paint, it sprayed with a terrible spray pattern. I cleaned the sprayer a second time and was able to spray plain water with a nice even spray pattern. Then the...

ready right out of box, easy to use

Easy to use and ready right out of box. Assembles in 1 easy step. Spray pattern adjustments work well as do the other controls. Took out of box and was painting in just a few minutes. Does great job in coverage. Sprayer gives a rolled on look, slight orange peel look which if wanting a smooth look just lightly go over paint with a brush. Best latex sprayer I have see so far for the average homeowner.

Electric-Powered High Volume Low Pressure 0529002

I have used several Wagner products before and this one has some very good features such as paint capacity and the ability to control the spray amount. It makes the unit fairly heavy when you are trying to control the spray pattern to be sure it is even. The flow control didn't work particularly well; I couldn't tell the difference. You can adjust the spray pattern and that is helpful. It does a one hour paint job in about 10 minutes once all the pre work is done to cover everything. not being p...

Not sure if I would buy again.

The sprayer works good, except for all the plastic parts. Lowes does not carry parts for this sprayer, I had to call the manufacturer to order the part that broke and then wait for the part to come via USPS.

Great & affordable sprayer!

This is a great spayer for the price. I had no clue what to look for in a sprayer, so I took a chance on this one. While we planned to paint the inside of the house, I first used it on the exterior. It worked great. Despite having to refill the container, I was done very quickly. Paint was evenly sprayed and looks good - even though I've never used a spayer before. We always disassemble it & clean it as instructed. I did misplace a piece, so I'll have to either search the kids' rooms again or ...

Nozzle

Nozzle part number 2317424 was broken after only one use. Tried to find replacement parts no luck.

Perfect Paint Sprayer for the price

This paint sprayer has been a workhorse since I bought it. It is easy to clean and sprays exactly as I expect every time I use it. You are able to tilt up or down, and the spray is virtually unaffected with the tilt. It is light enough to hold for lengthy spraying times. This is well worth the money.

Not impressed, but getting the job done.

I bought this sprayer to paint an exposed basement ceiling. I've never used a sprayer before and figured this would go faster than rolling or brushing around every nook and cranny. Even though I was doing the ceiling, I never tilted it more than 45 degrees. Everything was going fine until about 30 minutes in. Like others report, hot air came out of the blower and dried the paint to the nozzle. After 45 minutes, the paint started oozing out without a finger on the trigger.

Terrible Product

I purchased this sprayer to paint doors. I had to return the sprayer twice because it would suddenly stop working. I had deep cleaned the sprayer multiple times trying to get it to work. Spend the extra $50 and get the next unit up. It has more power, works very well, doesn't clog, and doesn't stop working.

Great product

I bought this sprayer last weekend, I painted the entire outside of my home in a couple of hours. This product is great., I just wish it was not so heavy. But I still give it two thumbs up!! Good Job!!!

Pretty good for the price.

I just bought this sprayer yesterday since we are doing a full house remodel. I used it today to spray Valspar Primer in one room. As others have said the tip will drip/spatter when you let off the trigger. However as long as you aim it somewhere other than your project and pull the trigger into the first position (That starts the blower) then aim at your project then fully squeze the trigger it works pretty darn good for a DIY'er. It did spray the Unthinned Primer ok but I will probally thin it...

Splattered paint all over project

I purchased this sprayer to use on bathroom cabinets and on the very first use it was horrible. I then thinned the paint and it wasn't much better. I had to sand all the paint off and re primer. Not sure if I will try again. I don't know what else to do to make it a smooth spray and finish as I have already thinned the paint. I may try to strain it and see what happens. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
