Other reviews are on the money, here's one for solvent enamels
And double ditto on covering other things that you don't want sprayed, this will shoot paint everywhere! Again, be careful and plan and you will have a finish that looks professional at a fraction of the cost.
Works really great for latex!
I bought my first Wagner Power Painter in 1993, and it's still working great!
A TOTAL WASTE
Yes, we read the instructions. Yes we did all the cleaning. We got 6, repeat, 6 uses out of this before it just stopped permanently. We paid $100 for this set so, it cost us $16 per use. We could have rented a pro sprayer and been done in far less time, not mention the aggravation. A friend of mine had a Wagner Power painter 10 years ago (one of the first models) and she had the same experience. Wagner apparently learned nothing since then, and we will never buy another Wagner product!
Wagner Power Shot Paint Sprayer
Needless to say, by the time I cleaned-up the mess and sprayer parts, I had lost any time that may have been saved vs using a good old, reliable roller, pan, and extension handle. My advise: stay away from this until they get it right...unless, you're just bored and are looking for new sources of frustration in your life.
decent sprayer
I found that this sprayer works good if you read and follow the directions in the owner's manual. Also, I have few tips of my own. I recently sprayed my entire house with a wide shot sprayer. After you assemble the sprayer put a few drops of oil in the intake. Make sure the tip holder is screwed in tight and check it while you spray. If you use the hose intake I found that it easier to drill 1/2" holes in the lid and shove the hoses into the bucket. That way you won't spill all the paint if the bucket tips over. If you use the cup, fill it often and make sure it never goes below half full. That way you reduce the chance of sucking air into the intake which tends to cause the gun to "spatter". If you do get spatters, just smooth them out with brush, and respray lightly over. Be aware that this unit can push out a lot of paint so you need to fill your pail or cup often. For cleanup, disassemble and rinse everything with water and place the parts in mineral spirits. I use mineral spirits for cleanup on all my spray equipment. It will dissolve most paint materials and it does have lubricating qualitiies. For spraying heavy latex or acrylic paints, there really isn't anything like the wide shot.
