4.0 out of 5 stars A good tool for the money!, August 10, 2005

This review is from: Wagner Power Products 9140S 1/2 HP Twin Stroke Piston Pump Paint Sprayer (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is the first airless sprayer I've ever used, and I have been very impressed with it. I am using it to paint the exterior of my house and it is proving to be a huge time-saver. Tricky areas like the eaves under the roof would have taken forever with a brush. With this tool I'm done in minutes, and it looks great! Even though this is the entry level model in the Wagner line, it still can throw a lot of paint on in a hurry! I can only imagine what the big models will do. I am spraying a latex exterior house paint straight out of the can, no additives or dilution required.

The unit came with a 415 tip which was fine for large areas, but proved a little wide for the detail work. I bought a 313 to do the trim. Fortunately all of the brands (Wagner, SprayTech, Grayco, etc.) use the same tips which can be found at any big-box store (Home Depot, Lowes). You will also need to buy a swivel for the gun (about $20). The paint hose becomes very stiff under pressure, and without a swivel, the gun is very hard to maneuver.

Cleanup can be a chore. The capacity of the pickup tube and the hose is substantial and all of that paint has to be thoroughly flushed out. Then you have to clean the gun with a brush. None of this is really unexpected. It's a professional style tool for big jobs, and even with the cleanup, you're way ahead of the game.

As for the other reviewers who complained about a broken tip, I'm not sure how that could happen as it's made from steel. Maybe they were talking about the tip holder? Just buy a new one from HD for $15 and get on with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful time saver for large projects, September 23, 2003

This review is from: Wagner Power Products 9140S 1/2 HP Twin Stroke Piston Pump Paint Sprayer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I primed and painted four new rooms and trim using flat acrylic paint. The 1st setup and clean up each took about 30 minutes but subsequent setups and cleanups took 10 minutes. The consistency is wonderful but a quick light pass with a roller is recommend to even out the paint dispersement and user error. It took me a hour to prime four rooms and two hours to paint two coats of flat paint. Overall, I estimated a 75% time savings. Highly recommended. An earlier reviewer had mentioned a broken tip, this package comes with an extra tip and is easy to replace (1 minute)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sprayer paint frenzy, October 11, 2005

This paint sprayer saved a lot of time more importantly it allowed an ammateur painter do quality work on his new home. I had to read directions carefully and then look at the directions on manufacturers website in order to get accustomed to operating and cleaning sprayer. I originally bought it to stain my deck which it made the job from impossible to a matter of a few hours (stripping included). It was well worth the money and i wish i had bought one 20 years ago.
