Wagner Spraytech 0529091 FLEXiO 5000 Stationary HVLP Paint Sprayer, Sprays Most Unthinned Latex, Includes Two Nozzles, iSpray Nozzle and Detail Finish Nozzle, Complete Adjustability for All Needs

I've used lesser quality HVLP sprayers before with mixed results. I have a cheapy Graco factory refurb and a new DSP 360 and used them for several projects, but now they both leak or won't spray correctly. Rather than drop a king's ransom on an Earlex or Fuji HVLP, I decided to give the Flexio 5000 a try, as the reviews seemed to be favorable. We are painting our kitchen (Kent Moore cabinets, not cheap stuff) and my wife is hand-priming the face frames in the kitchen whilst I took all of the drawers and doors out to the garage. We didn't want to mask off the kitchen to spray indoors. Everything was washed down with genuine TSP and then sanded with 320 grit 3M sandpaper and rinsed again. I got a gallon of Zinsser 123 primer and thinned it a little until it smoothly ran off the stirring stick. I tested the Detail gun on a flat surface, dialed in the power (about 50%) and started spraying. After priming about 18 doors, I have to say this is a *very* good HVLP spray unit! Since it is humid today (typical Houston spring with a little rain) I need to wait longer for the primer to dry, and then flip all the doors over to prime the fronts. I will edit this review once I have painted on the Behr Cabinet paint. I expect great performance with it too. Clean up is a breeze, and I do suggest the purchase of the cleaning brush set (I got the 22 piece set and it took me only a few minutes to clean up the gun and paint container. I did a full cleaning since it would be over an hour before I can continue spraying. Edit (as promised): This is getting better and better. We bought the Behr Cabinet, Door and Trim paint in the satin sheen. This paint brushes on like butter, but we're not talking about brushing, are we? It sprays on beautifully too, and without thinning! A few things I learned along the way. 1) Strain your paint ALWAYS, 2) Spray on first coat and note the finish when it dries. If a little rough, sand very lightly with 320 grit or higher, 3) Spray next coat a little more slowly to allow a somewhat thicker coat. The Behr Cabinet paint is self-leveling, but you have to make sure the coat is thick enough for that to happen, 4) Check the spray tip often and wipe off any build up, 5) Clean up the gun very thoroughly, even just between coats. We're talking about a very expensive paint job, and you want the sprayer in tip top condition for every coat. 6) The cleaning brush kit was a god-send and made clean up so much better,. In summary, this is a terrific spray kit for the price. If I was a professional cabinet maker, I would probably splurgh on a Fuji sprayer and spend upwards of $1500, but I am a weekend sawdust maker and this unit fits my budget AND gives me great results.

I was a little skeptical buying this paint sprayer with it being relatively inexpensive. I used it first to paint my porch, which has plenty of spindles. It worked really well, but lots of overspray, with nothing behind the spindles. Probably not the best choice to use this. If you do, cover everything. I spent an hour power washing my exterior after it was done. It does save you paint, regardless of overspray. I thought I was going to go through the paint reservoir in a matter of minutes. It lasted way longer than expected, with infrequent refills (sometimes a good half hour to an hour before I had too). Also, if you are painting over with the same color, it is really hard to tell how much paint it is putting out. So, the next day I was hesitant, as I was painting our 2 metal garage doors from light brown to white. I didn't want to deal with clean up. I started on the bottom panels with a roller and trim brush. It was taking forever and the trim brush just mostly smeared the paint. Probably took an hour and a half just for the bottom section panels. I attempted the paint sprayer, and wow, I had a first coat on the entire 2 car and 1 car garage door in probably an hour or less. The difference in color you could really tell how much the paint sprayer was putting out. Second and third coat went even faster. I also rolled once more which was only a few minutes for each door. The sprayer saved me hours of work and little to no overspray at all. Really happy with the purchase. It's not perfect, but does save time and paint. Used less than 3 gallons for both projects. I wouldn't say it's the smoothest finish, due to occasional larger droplets (especially after stopping and starting again) or hovering over a spot for too long. But if you don't mind using a roller to smooth things out, it's worth the buy.

I bought this last year during Black Friday sales and never got to use it due to health problems. We finally opened it up three days ago and got about 6 hours over three days of use out of it before the motor burned up. It is now non functional despite our cleaning it out to the best of our ability. It still runs but the motor is seriously damaged and air output is insufficient for use. I can't recommend this product as I don't think that's a good value for the money. :/ EDIT: Wagner honored their warranty although it was probably a few days past the one-year limit they claimed, so kudos to them. Buyers need to be well aware of the reason this happened and how to avoid it, however: We were in an enclosed area and were unable to keep the unit outside of the spray area. In such situations, the turbine will suck in the paint aerosols until it chokes and dies. This will happen much faster than you expect and when that happens, there is no bringing it back. To prevent this, the following precautions are recommended: 1. Keep extra filters, which can be constructed for cheap out of quilt batting, and change them every hour or two of use. (The vent at the back of the unit will still have to be cleared of buildup frequently.) 2. If possible, keep the unit elevated--even two feet up--as aerosols and other debris are more concentrated at floor level. 3. Construct a disposable "pre-filter," which can be put on with a rubber band and changed frequently. 4. Use a box, like the box the unit comes in, to keep it in. Cut a hole for the hose to go out the back and then cut off the back and put an HVAC filter there. Or any combination of the above. Otherwise, I've been very pleased with the unit's maneuverability and ease of use, the quality and smoothness of its coverage, and the simplicity of cleaning.

Tout simplement wow! Ça me prenais 1 heure teindre le plancher du patio, là en 10 minutes le tour est joué. Facile a utiliser, netoyer et ranger, c'est un indispensable. L'appareil est de qualité bricoleur, c-à-d, en plastique, mais un plastique solide. Il y 2 "fusils" d'inclus, 1 pour le grossier et le plus petit pour la finition. Je recommande cet enssemble si vous avez des travaux de petites à grandes surfaces. Si vous avez seulement des petites surfaces, ce n'est peut être pas approprié. Au fond c'est votre budget qui vas vous guider.

Easy to clean. Thin you are paint! Track down some Wagner Paint Easy, or some other latex extender ! Works wonders! Strain your paint! Your best results are going to be if you can lay the material flat. Yes, you've got to take the time to do one side and then the other. But gravity is your friend if you want to get a good finish! No regrets in purchasing this. Do some practice. Learn how to mix the material.

Couldn’t even try it! The one I received isn’t operational, tried different power outlets but still didn’t work. Return requested. Once completed I might reorder to give it second chance.
