DOA out of the box!:
I purchased this item in August for a project requiring me to paint 12 six-panel doors. The cost was about the same as renting a commercial sprayer, and I'd have the flexibility to work when I could. I was tremendously disappointed when I prepped and hung the doors for painting, only to find the unit inoperable-no power whatsoever. There was the standard "Don't return me! Call this toll-free number for help!" sheet. Guess what? The number directed you to contact one of the service centers listed in the product manual. Guess what? They're not open on weekends. Guess what? When I did call the following Monday, they recommended I return the unit to the place of purchase. So I did. I applaud Amazon for their prompt and efficient return policy. I ended up buying a Fuji sprayer from Amazon during one of their tool sales for about $100 more. This unit was much more applicable to the tasks I needed it for (doors+trim). It was more expensive, but it is a professional quality unit and I don't intend to stop painting things around the house.

Taking it to the repair shop.:
At least I got to spray my kitchen and drive gate. I probably have a total of 2 hours on the sprayer. During the cleaning cycle, the sprayer pump decided to stop working. Shortly after, I saw oil dripping form the motor. But I have to say it sprays well when it's working. Thankfully, it is still under warranty (1 year).

stay away:
Have had trouble with this out of the box, difficulty priming, won't hold pressure. I had a good full day last weekend (when it works, it's great), thought I'd figured out how to squeeze some work out of this thing, but in the middle of staining it lost pressure. Motor sounds good, but the hydraulic system won't 'click' to pressurize the system. Took it apart, checked the oil level, all the actions in the troubleshooting, no good. Good weather and nothing getting done, wish I'd spent a little more $ and gotten something more reliable.

review house painter:
The product do the job better than expected. Instuction was easy to follow. Make the job go faster than expected

The Worst Purchase I've Made Yet on Amazon:
This should be a negative star. Works gerat if you're spraying with water, but it will die on you if you use a quality paint. I will be returning this. Do not buy this. Otherwise, you'll most likely end up returning it as well. Unless, of course, you like to spray with water.
