Review of the Wagner Power Painter Plus

Tricks, Ratschläge, Online, Reparieren, Landwirtschaft, Landwirtschaft Maschine

1. My review: This sprayer is manufactured to work with water base acrylic latex, oil & stains only, and I must say that after cleaning latex acrylic which is very easy, I will not use this sprayer with oil paint because oil paint is a pain to clean up.
   
   Back to review: The quart (up to fill line)., only lasts 5 minutes and you must reload. By the 5th re-load, it clogs which you must take apart to unplug the super tiny vent hole located on pump housing, (use a toothpick)., to unclog or it will not work at all.
   
   So, in order to get to this tiny vent hole you literally have to take apart: material container & suction tube. Be warned, you will get material on your hands and anything you touch- so make sure you set sprayer on plastic drop cloth. If after you put back together sprayer continues to hum & won't spray then you must take completely apart by uncrewing spray tip, atomizer valve, lock nut, slide out the pump housing to open the suction tube with filter (to clean filter)., you'll get paint all over the sprayer assembly (yellow unit) so remove completely from pump housing and set aside. This clean up is very messy so I do not recommend where satins, eggshell, semigloss or gloss finishes are called for unless you have a second spare sprayer to pick up immediately where you left off or job will not look uniform. Any material with a slight bit of shine fact is surface must be covered corner to corner while paint is wet....or you will end with holidays here and there.
   
   Problem which needs modification; the suction tube with filter after throughly cleaned and lubricated got stuck on me three times which was very frustrating when clock is ticking & you have a deadline to meet. The suction tube should be made out of a light metal or aluminum because the plastic even if lubricated as you turn to unlock should release and it didn't so no I do not recommend WD-40 that caused my problem -- I used gun lube instead as it needs viscosity to turn & open.
   
   Solution: this buy was $99.00 and you bought 2 - with the various clean ups, wasted time trying to release the suction tube & filter do to clogging & short lapse time reloads.... for $300 more a used Titan 440I or Graco sprayer from Sherwin Williams I would have finished my parents house in one day. Try spraying a metal fascia & soffit around a 4 bdrm house, windy yet sunny day in FL hmmmm! and btw for every clogging while you're at it wipe down tip good and oil.
2. Extremely informative information and positive representation
3. es normal que sea tan ruidosa?
4. can I use it with oil base paint?
   or just water base?
5. Helpful. Thanks. Have you used the remote suction hose to draw paint straight from the can. The Plus unit doesn't come with it but it is available for it.
6. thanks good review.. Picking up one today
7. Thanks for the video-- i cleaned everything , but can not seem to get it back together-- checked all parts and it still will not go
8. hello, I got a question, what side on the switch is for paint? I'm confused, top says one thing and the switch another.
9. It's a pain , big pain to clean that thing up,,,way too many pieces to clean, and the paint hardens right away if it's water based. ,,,and if you don't like it , can you return it? Good question. Not at Lowe's.
10. Nice job. Just got one and seeing you step through the dismantling/cleaning procedure was very helpful. Thanks!
11. No lung transplants - great video!
12. Do you know if they make an extension nozzle for this sprayer?  Good, informative review.
13. Love the intro and lighting of your set...looking really slick!
