But several factors made me decide against it. (Mainly 1) paint projects must be nearby the compressor 2) major major paint clouds)So I was recommended the Wagner 305 by the Home Depot paint guy. It works better than I expected. But I do agree with other people who have written reviews. 1) there is quite a bit of cleanup time, but take this with a grain of salt--I usually don't clean up paint brushes and rollers, I just through them out and buy new (really! hehe) 2) It's noisy yet not extremely loud. It quiets down once the paint starts flowing into the compressor. The gun would be no problem outdoors at all. But in confined spaces the echoing might get to you. 3) Overspray. It's going to happen. Get tarps. This was expected and should be expected. 4) Some wasted paint. If you have a large job buy the paint in 5 gallon buckets and consider cutting a 1/2" hole in the lid. Then put...

Buying one next time, By Particular Individual (California) - See all my reviews This review is from: Wagner Power Products 305 Painter Sprayer (Tools & Home Improvement) I was in the process of ordering a Wagner painter and noticed the bad reviews. So rather than buy one just yet, I borrowed my boss' sprayer which is the above model. Here's my objective opinion, BS free.If you think it's loud, you don't work around power tools much. Spend a few minutes with a router, table saw, sander, whatever. I needed a sprayer because I had to paint louvered doors --a guaranteed mess with a brush. I used alkyd enamel --I don't know how this thing sprays latex. (What does?) I have never used an airless sprayer before and the job came out perfect. I have used compressed air sprayers on signs and a car before and to me there is no difference in technique or coverage. There will be overspray and there will be wasting of paint with any sprayer, right? It's a tragic fact of life. The other tragic fact is that cleanup is intensive. That's a small concern, overshadowed by the splendid results. Certainly, with practice and experience, one could, no doubt,...

I find them often being sold after very limited use. Why do people get rid of them? Well, often they don't properly take care of them so they are upset with the results. I find that usually about 20mins cleaning the used gun yeilds an almost brand new gun that operates properly.Apparently by reading the reviews, people also don't know what to realistically expect. First, you WILL get overspray from every sprayer airless or not. You should wear appropriate clothing to avoid being drizzled upon. Second, it is heavy for many people. You have an electric spayer with a container of fluid that needs to be held up for relatively long durations. Your arms are likely to get tired. Third, if you use latex paint, you will need to thin it a bit. A little experimentation is involved with a scrap piece of cardboard to get the mix and setting right. Do this before you start your project. Fourth, I agree with a previous... Read more |
