What Customers Are Saying
The product has a mixed performance, with some users finding it effective and efficient for painting various surfaces, while others reporting issues like clogging, leaking, and uneven paint application. The adjustable spray pattern and ability to handle different paint types were positives, but the small paint reservoir and overall weight made it difficult to maneuver. The reliability and durability of the product appear to be inconsistent.

Used it one time and results were mixed. I used it a second time to paint garage walls. After wiping off the nozzle and filled container up with paint and paint blotches was spraying out. So I decided to take it apart and thoroughly clean it. When I twisted the turbine off, paint started to drip out. I cleaned everything out and let all paint drip out of the turbine and wiped it out. I tried to spray water thru the sprayer but the turbine would not work. Looking to take it back to lowes tomorro...

A Time Saver
Would RecommendI purchased this sprayer to paint my breezeway ceiling and walls. after reading the directions I practiced on a piece of scrap cardboard to adjust my flow and rate of paint till I got the spray that I needed. The sprayer cut down on hours and did an amazing job. I did notice you have to make sure that you keep the nozzle tight in order not to leak or spatter the paint.

We're sorry the Paint Ready wasn't ready. If paint was flowing at first, then it stopped spraying paint, but the turbine continued to run, it may be ...

Great Buy
Would RecommendI had previously owned a different Wagner sprayer and it had run for a long while. It finally quit running and I bought this model. It is a very nice model and well balanced from an ergonomics stand point. The functionality of the sprayer is much improved from the earlier model I had. Set up and disassembly was very simple and the use on my concrete wall was very good. I have attached a photo of the basement wall in which I used the sprayer.

Does not work as advertised
Would Not RecommendAdvertised as being able to spray paint from the can. clogs constantly and shoots lumps into the work if not thinned. Causes big mess rather than creating a quality job.

There are some ways to help prevent clogging. Stirring with a mixer in a drill will turn the latex paint into a smooth, creamy liquid, that will spra...

I am giving this a low star when it comes to painting furniture. this may be a good option for walls but i was told i could narrow the stream but it only allowed me to go vertical or horizontal. If you are needing something that is for small work this is probably not the item that will best fit your needs.

Don't Buy This
Would Not RecommendThe first day it worked great. Got a lot of painting done. Cleaned in thoroughly and put it away. Day two, a little fizzle of paint only. Cleaned it twice and still only fizzle. Returned it and got something different. Should've worked for more than one day. Would give zero stars if that was an option.

This thing is junk!!!
Would Not RecommendWent through 2 different models of sprayers with this company. Both of them were completely clean when I used them and after 2 minutes of using them the canister would work itself loose and fall on the floor creating a big mess. When the canister would stay on for that few minutes, the paint would splatter all over what I was paintinh

Good job for concrete

FANTASTIC!!
Would RecommendWeve only used it once so far, but what we used it for was absolutely perfect! The only thing you have to prepare for is some overspray on the ceiling and floor. I suggest having the floor covered and having new air filters ready for when your done! It lets out A LOT of dust.
Thank you for a great review ! We're very glad Paint Ready sprayer did a great job, and you are correct it is always a good idea to have your floor c...

Dont' put in old paint
Would Not RecommendI tried to paint using some old paint and the combination of lumps and paint did not go well. I am thinking I may have burned up the motor. It popped the circuit breaker at home after I got it cleaned up. Next time I will use fresh paint and see if it works better. Live and learn that it is costly to be a cheap person to try to save a penney.

Excellent advice, old paint should be strained before loading into any sprayer. Clumps cause clogs.

Wonderful paint system
Would RecommendI bought the paint ready station last spring to paint my neighbors house. I had just landscaped her entire front and back yard and she was impressed with my keen eye for detail so she asked me to paint her house. After learning the parts of the sprayer, practicing on plywood and scrap pieces of Wood i realized just how easy it is to use. It does excellent narrow or detailed areas as well as the wide pattern covers exceptionally well. As I began to paint the soffit areas i was pleased how quic...

over-spray, messy, very heavy
Would Not Recommendweighs as much as a brady bunch meatloaf then add the weight of 45oz of paint. over-spray goes "everywhere" regardless of the settings and tip. side air filters clog fast, by extra. it's a messy effort to refill but that does provide a break from the weight-lifting. i can't even recommend for outdoor fence painting. tarp tape everything, prepare to clean up and plan on waste. i give 1 star because it turned on and does distribute paint. Heavy, messy, lose paint to over-spray.
HVLP sprayers actually have the least amount of overspray, but practice can make it even better. These guns should be no more than 6-10" from the pro...

This thing is exactly what I needed
Would RecommendI am painting everything with this little guy. I love it. It’s just right! It puts out a decent amount of pressure and is pretty durable. I’ve been hard on it!

Get what you pay for
Would Not RecommendI purchased this because of the price. Affordable. Got what I paid for. It either sprayed very little or if I adjusted it slightly, everything came out at once. It had poor control of the spray consistency. The motor part of the gun was also heavy and after painting five cabinet doors, it started getting heavier. Not recommending this for anyone. I returned it after one usage and purchased a Grayco instead.
