Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Wagner Power Tex is an all-in-one powered texture sprayer--no separate air compressor or air hoses needed! It has a built-in turbine with more than enough power to texture an entire ceiling, yet it is simply designed, so it's great for even small touch-up jobs. And because it features Wagner's Lock-n-Go Technology, setup and cleanup are fast and easy with no tools required.

The Wagner Power Tex package includes: Wagner Power Tex One-gallon hopper Three nozzles (small, medium, and large) Cleaning brush Lubricant

With Lock-n-Go Technology, the sprayer features quick, no-tool assembly.

This sprayer's hopper adjusts easily to add attractive texturing to ceilings and walls.

No Compressor? No Problem
The award-winning Wagner Power Tex texture sprayer features a powerful built-in air turbine that generates enough air flow to spray professional-looking texture on walls, ceilings, and other hard surfaces. Because the turbine is built into the sprayer, there's no air compressor or long air hoses required. The turbine is rated at 120 volts, 3.7 amps, and 60 Hertz.

The Wagner Power Tex has received the "Member Tested and Recommended" seal and the "Contractor Tested and Recommended" seal from the Handyman Club of America.

Hopper Adjusts for Ceilings or Walls
The Power Tex features a large, one-gallon, two-position hopper that can be quickly configured for spraying either ceilings or walls without the need for adapters. Simply fill the hopper with water-based texture material--the same stuff the pros use--plug the hopper into a standard 15-amp wall socket, and spray. The hopper's three-point stand will stabilize the unit, making filling a snap, and the built-in arm rest will keep you comfortable while you work.

Lock-n-Go Technology for Quick and Easy Use
Featuring Wagner's Lock-N-Go Technology, the Power Tex is easy to set up and clean anywhere--no tools required. Assembly takes just minutes: lock the air turbine onto the back of the spray gun with a simple twist and fit the hopper into place on the top of the gun. Screw on the desired nozzle and the Power Tex is ready to go.

Cleaning the Power Tex is also a breeze. Simply remove the air turbine, hopper, and nozzle from the spray gun and clean with the included brush and warm, soapy water. Let dry and reassemble the unit for storage--it's that easy!

Create Professional-Looking Texture Finishes
The Wagner Power Tex includes three nozzles (small, medium, and large) and a variable-flow trigger for producing professional-looking textures: Acoustical Popcorn, Knockdown, and Orange Peel finishes. The Power Tex is designed to be used with a wide variety of water-based texture materials, including standard texture material, aggregated texture, unaggregated texture, and diluted joint compound.

The Wagner Power Tex is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
Wagner Power Tex, one-gallon hopper, three nozzles (small, medium, and large), cleaning brush, and lubricant.

Three included nozzles and a variable-flow trigger expertly create three textures: Acoustical Popcorn, Knockdown, and Orange Peel.

2.0 out of 5 stars Will work you to death or, Free workout, September 3, 2008

By	No GI Jane (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wagner Spray Tech 520000 Power Tex Texture Sprayer (Tools & Hardware)

It should be noted that I consider myself handy and have done several home projects and have had good results without knowing what I was doing and that I am normally physically capable.

After reading the previous reviews I was encouraged to purchase the sprayer. I played with the mixture's consistency and practiced spraying most of the morning and then tackled a small closet that included the ceiling.

It was messier than I expected with not just pieces hitting the floor but gobs oozing out of the nozzle and onto the trigger. (The instructions mention that some water may leak out of this area.) If you are an Amazon lady or trained with the military and are used to holding an AK-47 or lift weights on a daily basis you should be fine pulling and holding the trigger and holding up the sprayer to get the coverage you want. (I had to use two hands at times to keep the trigger fully pulled.) I only finished because it became personal after the first hour. I was trying to get the pattern that would match my existing texture so maybe I was expecting a little too much. (Professional texture man is scheduled to arrive in a few days.) I will still use the machine to texture the walls in the garage but I was not able to get the design I wanted for the house. I am good about reading and following directions so I do not think I could improve upon the performance except with maybe more target practice. I did find that clean-up was not bad at all.

NOTE-----Updating you on my 2 star review. The professional painter/texture man showed up and guess what he was using? Yep, the same Wagner machine! He has had it a long time and swears by it. He complimented me on my closet and said that he had to go through the same trial and error but the main tip he gave was very thin mud. I watched and it was very runny. The instructions state "like pancake batter" but his was VERY THIN. Can't stress that enough. Still was messy on application but not like when I used it and it will not work you as hard since you will not have the mixture so thick. So, based on everything he said and the fact that he no longer uses the bigger machines and his Wagner had tape all over it from obvious hard use, I am upgrading it to 4 stars and withholding the one star for when I attempt the garage. Hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're thinking about buying it, DO IT!, February 23, 2008

By	E. Rodriguez (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wagner Spray Tech 520000 Power Tex Texture Sprayer (Tools & Hardware)

My wife and I just purchased our first home and she really dislikes popcorn ceilings. So she insisted that we have it removed and put up a knockdown texture in it's place. Then after a few estimates, the cheapest we could get it done to our whole house was for a little under $3000 which was more that what we were willing to spend with all the other things that we needed to have done to the house. So I priced out all the materials needed and my estimate came in at about $900. Keep in mind that this price is also including the cost of the tools needed (ex. 1/2" drill, trowel, paint primer, sprayer, ect.) which I didn't own.

Anyway, after going to my local Home Depot, they wanted about $60 a day to rent a sprayer and since I wanted to take my time, this really wasn't an option. I know that Wagner states that this sprayer is really for touch up jobs and not exactly for doing a whole house but let me tell you, I did my whole house and it worked great. After practicing a bit in the rooms first, my results were identical to a professional job at 1/3 the price. I will tell you this, it is a lot of work and the hardest thing about it is removing the popcorn and preping the room. I know some people say to use a garden sprayer and then they sell this neat little scraper at Home Depot that you can attach a bag to so you don't make a mess but that scrapper is junk. If you want to move fast, tape up the walls and floor using plastic sheeting and use a garden hose with a 10 or 12 inch taping knife to remove the popcorn. You'll barely scratch the sheet rock underneath and you'll remove the popcorn in under 30 minutes per room. The whole process is truly a huge mess but the end result is a very nice looking textured wall. I decided to go with the medium nozzle (yellow) and I ended up with a very nice looking texture that isn't as bold and some of the houses I've seen.

So if you're in the same situation my wife and me were in and you're fairly competent with tools, you'll be able to do the same thing because I'm a complete novice when it comes to drywall textures and I ended up with a great looking house. I'll also be honest and tell you that the first room I did, didn't come out as nice as the last but not because I applied the texture incorrectly but because I knocked some of it down too soon. Make sure you wait at least 20 minutes before knocking it down and after you spray a wall, take a step back and if you see any bare placed, just go over it with a quick trigger pull and you'll be amazed at what you're left with.
