Most useless tool I've ever purchased.:
I originally purchased this sprayer to stain my deck and cedar sided house. It was a nightmare from the beginning. The unit will not draw the stain out of the bucket unless the bucket is held above the sprayer. Tried every nozzle, every tip, every setting with no luck. Finally discovered that it would work but if I only used the small paint container and diluted the stain to water viscosity. I then ended up spending more time adding paint to the container than I did painting. Cleaning the unit is also horrible. It must be totally disassembled and pipe cleaners used to get all the paint out of the passages, otherwise it will be totally clogged. It clogs even while in use. Advertises 1600 psi. and "warning injection danger;" HA what a joke, my children have toy squirt guns that deliver more pressure. Like an idiot I thought that I had a bad unit so purchased the fix up parts (piston repair kit, o-rings) and rebuilt the thing. That was throwing good money after bad. Still doesn't work right. I still thought perhaps I was doing something wrong and mentioned it to some friends. Two of them related the very same story. Have written to the manufacturer and gotten no response. This unit is a piece of junk. Worst tool investment I've ever made.

Great paint sprayer!:
I've painted my 21' sailboat, my travel trailer and now am painting my house interior with this gun. It's easy to use and does a super job. I can't believe all the negative comments I see here. I've never tried the additive mentioned. It is a bugger to clean up, but it saves so much time in painting and does such a good job that a little clean up isn't a big deal. I'm a videographer, not a handyman, so if I have good results with this tool, you should too.

Good sprayer, so much faster than brush or roller!:
I'm using the 2200psi 2 speed model. This is a -spray- painter, so expect anything nearby to get paint on it. Tape and cover anything you don't want painted, and go to it! So much faster than brushes or rollers. You will need to allow a lot of time for clean up, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. I'm using it with the hoses, but I have it pulling paint from a bucket on my back rather than a can sitting on the floor. I have no problems with it feeding paint. I am using latex paint as it comes from the can, no thinning or additives. I'm painting my house, so if it spatters now and then, it makes no difference, but I have not noticed a lot of spattering. Like spray from a can, when you first hit it, it will spatter a little, and if the paint gets low and it sucks some air it will spatter. This is -not- for really small jobs, simply because clean-up takes so long. But even using a brush or roller you spend time cleaning up. Heed the warning about the spray being an injection/amputation hazard. It may be a mist a few inches out, but right at the nozzle it -is- at 1600 to 2400 psi, depending on the model, and can cut a finger right off.

Wagner Power Sprayers:
I purchased the 2400-PSI spray painter, and wanted to let you know I found the product dreadful. (The lower power 1600-PSI would be even worse with this problem). Without warning, the spray would start "spitting". I spent hours of effort and time making spray adjustments; making sure the can was full; making sure the sprayer was level; using different attachments; cleaning the heads; with no improvement. I am confident they manufacture an inferior product and could not recommend this to anyone. With all the mess and time of cleanup, I was further convinced I wasted my money. I came to grips that their product was useless when I realized I was painting as much with my roller fixing the blotches, as I was spray painting. I put away the painter, grabbed my roller and painted two rooms in about 1/2 the time, with a lot less mess to clean up. After sharing my experience with some friends, several said that is typical of the product. (Too bad the advertising leads one to believe otherwise.) Sorry, but I will discourage anyone I talk to from buying a Wagner paint product.

After much frustration...:
...I finally finished the job after 1.) switching to the quart container and ditching the tubes that fed into a gallon can 2.) adding the Floetrol additive from Home Depot to prevent the clogging & splattering 3.) called Wagner for support. I do have to say Wagner's support was excellent. That's the only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 2. I agreed to try a few things before requesting a replacement unit although I probably didn't have to. The rep gave me her direct extension and needless to say, I did end up calling her back and requesting the replacement. This was before I added the Floetrol which made all the difference in the world. I'd also learned not to hold the button down for more than 8-10 seconds at a time. You can't leave the unit sitting for more than 3 - 4 minutes or the paint will dry and clog it up. A quick rinse of the internal parts fixed that, but it was a pain. I ended up finishing the job with the old unit. A brand new unit arrived from Wagner the next day. All in all, I'm glad I had it, despite the problems. A brush or roller would have taken much, much longer. This review is on the 2-speed 2200 PSI version.
