I've never owned or used a paint sprayer before, but I wanted to try one for repainting our kitchen cabinet faces, doors and drawer fronts as part of an extensive renovation. This model was recommended to me for small-scale jobs where accurate control is important. Long story short - it works great for that purpose.
The sprayer is easy to set up for use - just a few simple parts that go together with no problems. The feed tube in the material cup can be angled in any direction, which allows you to tilt the sprayer as necessary to work on horizontal or vertical surfaces.
If you've ever used aerosol can spray paint, you can get comfortable using this sprayer in just a few minutes. It has two controls: one to adjust the spray pattern (I used the horizontal pattern exclusively) and one to adjust the volume of paint going through (about mid-point worked well for me). The spray pattern is very precise, allowing you to achieve almost brush-like control with minimal overspray. I disassembled my doors and drawer fronts and worked on them horizontally. The only limitation I encountered is that the whole assembly is kind of large, which limits how close you can get to horizontal material. I had a tendency to bump the paint cup against the work quite a few times before I got used to it. Vertical surfaces present no problem.
Clean-up is also very easy, at least with water-based paint. The clean-up instructions are described in detail in the manual, and it took me less than 20 minutes to get everything spotless and ready for the next job.
Now a couple of important points: First, the sprayer does indeed work with water-based latex enamel. The key is to thin the paint. Wagner sells a product for this purpose called 'Paint Easy'. I got a 32-ounce bottle, which is enough to thin about two gallons of paint, for a few dollars. The viscosity measuring tool included with the sprayer wasn't much help for me, but I just played it by ear and thinned the paint until it obviously flowed much easier. Second, it might take anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds after you press the trigger for the paint to actually start flowing out of the nozzle. Not knowing this the first time around, I almost gave up when I saw no paint coming out, thinking the sprayer didn't work. Be patient and allow plenty of time for the flow to start. If nothing happens after 30 seconds or so, you'll probably need to thin the paint some more. And whenever you let go of the trigger, the paint retreats back into the cup, so you'll have to allow for this start-up time after any significant pause in your work.
Now that I know how to work with this sprayer, I'm very happy with it.

I recently purchased this item with primarily one purpose in mind: I wanted to stain lattice panels under a deck with a latex stain. The thinning chart in the documentation specified usage with only 6 types of finishes. Instructions were not furnished for latex paints and stains. As one reviewer pointed out, they do specify later that warm, soapy water should be used to clean latex materials. And since water based materials are thinner than oil based, I decided to take a chance and use the stain as delivered. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The spray was even and predictable and there was no spattering, even as the stain was running out. It definitely made the job easier for me....painting lattice panels with a brush or roller can be a monster! Since the spray pattern was only about 1 inch or so, I wouldn't dream of using this machine to cover a deck or other large object. And this product isn't advertised for this purpose. I do agree with Wagner that it would be good for deck railings. For the job I required with the material I used, I found it to be quite suitable. But I must admit I haven't tried to use oil based enamel with it, however. If I ever choose to do so, I would hope it would work ok if I used the viscosity test as specified. I generally use water-based materials anyway. Cleanup was no fun (it never is). But I found it to be quite manageable. I simply removed the parts specified and soaked them in a warm, soapy water solution as directed. Have you tried to clean a roller and a paint brush lately? If you want to read real horror stories, read reviews of other power paint sprayers (including Wagner) on the Internet. They are almost impossible to clean, require frequent maintenance and are very noisy and heavy. They also are much more expensive. Noise was not a problem with this unit and it weighed slightly more than 3 pounds.
In conclusion, I found this unit to be quite adequate if it is used for purposes for which it was designed. It was not designed as a heavy duty unit and should not be used as such. Bye the way, you might want to Google search for the best price.

What a waste of time! I saw Wagner's infomercial and the sprayer looked like just what I wanted. I have a screen porch, some eaves and some furniture to paint. I purchased the sprayer and got ready to start painting and guess what. You can't use latex paint with this sprayer. I called their 800 service number and was told by a service tech that it wasn't powerful enought. I don't use oil based paint only latex. The infomercial never said it wouldn't spray latex and the box doesn't say anything either. In the instructions it mention latex when talking about clean-up...even though you can't use it. I feel Wagner has been less than truthful in their ads. The certainly wasted a full day of my time.
