Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this sprayer because I got tired of painting my interior doors. It was taking 2-3 hours to paint a single 6-panel door both sides, two coats. After two doors I ordered this sprayer to finish the remaining nine doors. I pulled two doors down to test with and set them outside, leaned against a stand in my grass on cardboard (in case of over spray) then commenced to paint my first two doors. Gun worked excellent, took about 3-4 minutes to paint one side and one coat was sufficient. I used the higher end Behr paint which is pretty thick so I thinned it just a bit. The sprayer came with a tool to test the thickness of the paint, I'd suggest using that if you are not familiar with spray guns and paint. Saves some headaches from paint not spraying right if you suspect you are using thicker paint. The doors were dry to touch inside of 10 minutes (weather was in the 70's, partly sunny outside) so I flipped the doors and finished them. Took about 45 minutes to do what otherwise would take 4-5 hours and that included drying time and taking them down plus re-installing them. My only criticisms would be that your project has to be fairly vertical. If you can move the item being painted then it's easy, but if it's immobile like a deck or stationary surface then you'll have trouble. This sprayer can only tilt 45% off of vertical, so a deck surface would be too far horizontal but the side of a deck would be easy. Second, it covers nicely in one coat and without streaks but it does spray a lot of paint to do so. It seems to go through about 15-20% more paint when compared to the same job with a brush, though it's well worth the trade considering the time it saves. Lastly the over spray was a little much, if you engage the trigger about half way and take your time painting, you get very little over spray. If you follow the instructions and adjust for full air flow, it will cover your project much quicker but create a decent amount of over spray, so be careful if there is a bit of wind. Clean up is a breeze. My previous sprayers cost twice as much and were a pain to clean, even easy to lose small parts. This sprayer is quick to take apart the nozzle and wash. Barely anything to clean up since I peeled the small paint film away from the nozzle while I was painting. It just took a moment to fill the tank with water and spray the water out the nozzle like it was paint, then remove the nozzle and clean it. Bonus: the instructions say to use it like an air gun to clean out keyboards and computer parts. I happen to be in IT so I do use it to clean out servers and desktops. It's mush easier than lugging around an air compressor and far more powerful than a can of air. Conclusion: If this was a $200 sprayer it would still be about 4 stars but since it's closer to $60 it's definitely 5 stars. It's a bit quieter than other sprayers I have used and even has advantages over sprayers I use on my air compressor since there is no noisy compressor and the air never runs out because it's on electric plus there is no moisture buildup to cause spitting. Even with several moisture traps on my air lines, my other sprayers have issues once the heats after long spray projects. This electric sprayer is a great value and has effortless performance!
