Ratings & Reviews for Wagner Control Spray QX5 Electric Handheld HVLP Paint Sprayer (Compatible with Stains)

easy cleanup great coverage

Works Great

Bought this to do a staining job on a cedar board fence. The sprayer worked very well and was easy to use. A lot of practice information included, or you can just do that in a more inconspicuous place like I did. This sprayer made incredibly fast work out of what would have been several hours by hand. Easy cleanup and good instructions for that too. Well worth the money spent. The only (minor) negative is that the reservoir could be bigger so less frequent refilling.

This product is a game changer in painting!

Excellent product! HIGHLY recommend. GREAT value. And so easy to use. My wood fence turned out beautifully. Enormous time saver. I'll absolutely use it again. The directions and online tutorial video were extremely helpful. If this beginner can use it...with these amazing results...anyone can!

not good value

used twice and 2-time trigger hung and would not stop spraying

QX5 Sprayer

I bought the QX5 paint sprayer to paint a yard swing. I had never used a paint sprayer before. This one was very easy to use. It took a lot less time to paint the swing than it would have taken to paint it with a brush.

Very little overspray

Easy to use

Stain dribbled out

Did not work

Big Time Saver

I purchased this sprayer to stain my fence and it was a game changer. I started with a paint roller which was slow. The sprayer said it could cover 5x the area and it did.

Best for outdoor use

I was very easy to setup and easy to use.

Waiting on the rain

It was a good sale. I am waiting for the rain to stop to actually use it

Defective and return refused

Defective product. Used it for 5 minutes and then it kept tripping our outlets. Lowe’s refused to refund and suggested to get new outlets. Stay far far away from Lowe’s and from Wagner.

What is this?

I read reviews. I watched YouTube. I did product comparison online. I even called Wagner who suggested this sprayer. I sprayed Sherwin Williams Deck Stain. I adjusted spray rates, pattern, directional spray. I fanned the stain on like I was painting a car, I used circular motion. I tried random patterning when I sprayed. All the while the canister on a brand new paint gun was dripping stain all over the place. I would spray a section, then grab a paintbrush to even out the finish in addi...

Easy to use, worked great for staining my fence

It was pretty simple

Nice for DIY

Everything was as promised. Gives good coverage for a DIY project. Takes a little getting use to the spray volume controls. Overall a good buy.

It works

Is a bit heavy after using some time

worked great

Easy to use!

Great value for this product - easy to use

It works well, but only if it is kept clean.

Bought this to apply stain to my fence (Cabot Australian Timber Oil). Spraying is easy, but refilling is difficult and frequent. If doing a large fence, the gun only holds enough to do a couple panels before needing a refill. I bought a 5-gallon bucket of stain and had to purchase a transfer pump for easier refilling. Generally, just a messy process.
