Ratings & Reviews for Wagner Flexio 5000 Electric Stationary HVLP Paint Sprayer (Compatible with Stains)

Easy professional paint sprayer

Easy to use, made job easy

Fast and easy painting

Made my fence staining project go fast! At first I thought the reservoir was a little small, but then after using it a while decided it was just the right combination of quantity and weight. Easy to handle and not loud at all!

Totally worth the money! Top notch sprayer

I enjoyed use this sprayer for my fence and touch ups around the house. Only used about half the paint i thought it would so i was about to extend my painting into the neighbors fence also. Almost no fatigue in my hand after painted for an extended period of time. Super easy clean up, and I had no issue wrapping the hose like I read some had.

Do not recommend

Broke on the second use. Paint started coming out in large globs. When I took the nozzle off, paint started pouring out the front. Followed all cleaning directions after first use. Finished the job with a paint roller which was way faster anyway.

Very Reasonable Value - Medium Jobs Done Quickly

Gets dirty fast -- affects amount of paint being sprayed. The instructions say to clean the nozzle frequently. That's great tip -- must do! Keep a rag handy. It's a little more effort that just wiping the nozzle. The paint will splatter a bit (normal and fine) and dry up. I was wiping and scraping with my fingernail every 30-60 seconds. If you don't, you'll quickly notice the spray pattern deteriorate. I painted my 12'x20' shed with primer and then exterior paint. The Kilz primer is thi...

Pleasantly surprised

I bought it to spray all of my interior doors. Was worried that it wasn't going to be able to spray Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel because so many places said an HVLP wouldn't be able to because of the thickness, but the bigger nozzle handled it like a champ (didn't try it with detail nozzle). I did thin it 10% with distilled water, though. Was my first time ever spraying and I made a huge mess but it was worth the time saved painting, I think. Now I have to figure out how to clea...

DOA Unit

We ordered from the lowes website and picked up in store. It was DOA. Now dealing with a return for an item we need now that isnt available in stores it seems.

Great beginner sprayer

Quick setup, easy to use and cleanup of sprayer is very easy.

Flexi(ble) - can be used for many projects.

Easy set-up, comfortable to use, quick clean-up, and great storage container.

Great tool at a reasonable price

The sprayer is easy to set up, simple to clean and does a great job of applying paint and stain.

Take the time and practice!

With these units you never know if they will work or not! This one surprised me! Its all in the setup and practice with the paint you have! Take the time and practice.

Love it

The flexio 5000 does an excellent job. It is easy to use and the cleanup is quick. I have a larger sprayer but this one is much easier for me to control. The detail sprayer makes it easy to control overspray.

Excellent product

I used my brand new Flexio 5000 to spray both sides of 115 feet of cedar fencing with a BEHR semi-transparent stain. I was able to complete the entire project in 2 days, and it looks great! I read the instructions closely and experimented with the adjustment controls until the flow was just right for my stain. Cleanup was easy at the end of each day! I recommend cleaning the sprayer in the middle of a long project to ensure a quality spray pattern. I also contacted Wagner customer support ab...

The Good and the Bad

I did a lot of research prior to buying this sprayer, and I’m glad I bought it. But there are a few things about it that bug me, and since I didn’t see them listed in any other reviews, I’ll list them here. (Wagner, pay attention.) This wasn’t available in my local Lowe’s, so I had to order it. It arrived via FedEx in a few days, in good condition. I really like that it has a nice hard case to store everything in. The case is also the blower unit that makes the air that sprays the paint, and ...

Great Sprayer

This was my first time trying a sprayer. I painted stained walnut kitchen cabinets with the detail nozzle. Sanded everything first. BM primer and Advance satin paint. Thinned it at about 5% with water. It worked fantastic. Did a soft sand in between the primer and top coat. Short learning curve on the gun but not too bad. Didn't have one run in the last two coats and it looks like a pro job!
