Easy to use/efficient
We stained our fence and deck last weekend. Originally, they were both a natural cedar-tone color. And we decided to change things up quite a bit and go with a solid stain in a slate gray color. It was suppose to be a "4-Gallon" project according to stain manufacturer's quantity estimate. 10 GALLONS later, we have an amazing looking fence and deck! We couldn't have done it without the sprayer; as we did the spray/back-brush method that was recommended to us. The stain was quite thick since it was a solid stain and they tend to be thicker in consistency. So the sprayer did not work so great in our first attempt. However, we added paint thinner to help with the application and the back-brushing...and that worked beautifully. We will definitely be using this sprayer again. Our only wish would be for the container that holds stain to be a bit larger (for large jobs) so we wouldn't have to fill it too often.

Terrible!
If you're looking for a sprayer to never use, this is the right one. If you're looking for a sprayer to paint a fence, move along. I've attached a picture for your reference, but it took me about 3 hours to paint a stretch (half) of fence about 20 feet long. Impossible. I had to stop every few minutes to unclog, take apart, clean, or just investigate the machine to see what was wrong. I could not believe how troublesome and difficult it was to get this sprayer to do the job. I was spraying straight up and down so there was very little tilt or unevenness. The suction pipe kept getting clogged and there's no way to unclog it without taking the whole thing apart and blowing it out. Disappointing.

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser11/19/2020Bottom Line Is It WorksIt's messy. You have to thin the paint and you have to be very, very careful about cleaning it up when you're done for the day, but the bottom line is it works and it works well.PikeminnowRewards

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/13/2020Great SprayerI am surprised how really well this inexpensive sprayer works. Normally we all know the common story about buying less expensive items - they either don't work right or last very long before falling all apart. Wagner on the other hand produces quality products even those normally classed as being less expensive. I am most pleased with this Wagner Sprayer purchase - thus far it has sprayed basically any fluids I've fed to it w/o any problems i.e. oil and latex types of paint, sealers. Had to really thin the sealer but that was due to the fact that I also added some non-slip grit to the deck sealer and it turned out just fine. Great product would recommend this product to others.Richard321

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/28/2019Pretty decent for the cost!It is works really well, you have to be careful how you twist it on, I think a small piece may have came off but its still functional and it worked great for my textured living room wall. No clogging as long as you follow the direction, I added enough water to thin it out. Overall so far a pretty good product!SharisseY

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/05/2019Couldnt be happierBought this to stain our deck. Used a solid stain. The most important thing was to thin the paint correctly which we jused used wayer and it was a breeze. What used to take us 6-8 hours took us a total of 2 hours start to finish. Wecouldnt be happier and cleaning the sprayer was simple. Took about 15 min. Now its boxed up and teady for the next jobEasyaspie

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/05/2015Great for detail and projects that require a finer finishYou have to use the right tool for the job. While I have other airless sprayers that work perfectly for house and fence painting/staining, this tool works great for furniture and such where you need a nicer finished product and don't want to waste as much material when dealing with the details. My first project was staining and sealing wine racks before assembly and installation in my wine cellar project. The preassembled sections of the racks were made up of 3/4"x3/4" oak. The result is wonderful. The coats stain and poly went on great and provided a furniture like finish. And when I was finished I found the cleanup to be a breeze compared with either of the airless sprayers I have. As I said you have to use the right tool for the job but I do try pushing the limits. I am going to try using this to spray .025 metal flake suspended in a urethane clear. I'm out on the Wagner site trying to see what tip the gun has #2.0 is recommended for the Metal flake# LOL! Wish me luck! Of course if it immediately clogs, I'll know it's the tool's fault. Seriously, This is a great tool, simple to operate, cleans and stores nice. If your spray finish on a piece of furniture from time to time you will love it.TJNotorious
