worth the money
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
It was definitly worth the money. I would have spent more if I had rented a unit. It cut the painting time more than in half. That said the unit I received had a broken part. The weekend I had wanted to paint I couldn’t. Tech support is only open Monday-Friday. When I called them they were fantastic second day aired me all I would need and the painter works fantastic.

Excellant Buy

I sprayed my shed today and right off the bat I was impressed at how nice this gun worked.I sprayed the whole shed in about twenty minutes. For the first time using this type of gun I didn’t end up with any runs, The spray is very simple to control.I then went on to painting my house and after a while the gun did start acting up. I emptied out the paint tray washed out the whole unit and it started working just fine.I had forgot to strain the paint and had gotten the screen in the tray blocked off I also washed out the filter in the gun. It does take about forty five minutes for clean up, but that beats the time using a brush or roller.This is a fantastic buy for the price.

absolutely satisfied with paint sprayer

I wish I had used it sooner..but, better later than never. After opening the box and looking inside, I thought, what have I gotten myself into? I remember a couple of weeks ago (from today), I took my paint sprayer outside to get used to it and read the booklet. After at least 6 hours of being dumbfounded I got out my paint brush and brush painted.

Well today I took my sprayer outside and filled it with paint. It took me awhile to get the hang of it. In a few hours this afternoon, I cannot believe how much of my house I got painted. I am so glad I bought this wonderful machine!!

I honestly don’t know what everyone was complaining about when it came to cleanup. (the reviews) I emptied the hopper, scraped it out with a spatula, like someone else said to do. Got all cleaned up I thought rather easily. Instead of paint, you’re running soapy water, than clean water til everyting runs clear. Piece of cake. It really is fantastic way to go. I am a 50 something female and I figured it out, so can you.

A fantastic sprayer for the money

The refurbished Wagner Paint Crew sprayer only cost $100, and was well worth the money. I had looked at other Wagner sprayers and more commercial brands costing up to $400. I took a chance and tried the Wagner.

It worked fantastic! I painted a 200 foot cedar fence in about 2 hours. Previously I had been brush painting it and it took about an hour for 10 feet. Now I am looking forward to the next huge paint job.

Fantastic Product

Fantastic product if you take the time to prep. Cleaning unit after project is time consuming. Have to remember to THIN out paint before using (didn’t realize this); If not, filter will clog nearly instantaneously. Hint: water thins out latex (didn’t know this either). Still haven’t learned the right ratio of paint to water.

For the do it yourselfers…

I own Powerpainter plus. It does work fine till it breaks usually around or after 25 gallons of paint. You can rebuild it yourself and forgo sending it of for repairs parts are simple to find to rebuild piston pump which went even though all maintenance was followed. If you are a pro DON’T EVEN Reckon OF THIS MACHIENE. Buy A spraytech model instead unless you just want to use it and chuck it plus 25 feet of hose is a joke.

Like it!!!

Although there was a small extra prep involved, it made the job not only end quicker, but it made applying the stain very simple and helped me give my new shed a fantastic look! I see why they call it the paint crew, I Like this machine! Since I was using latex paint, even the clean-up was pretty simple.

The unit was pretty obviously a refurb, but it was in very excellent shape and for half the price of a new one, who cares! Thanks again Amazon.

UPDATE: Also used this to stain the new deck this summer, still going strong. This was truly a Fantastic BUY. Don’t pass it up.

Fantastic Tool

I have rented qualified airless sprayers in the past. The Paint Crew worked equally well. 25 feet of hose is marginal for a huge two tale house. I had to go the unit nearly every time I went the ladder. Adding a swivel adapter helped with the problems of the stiff hose. After 5 hours and 8 gallons of use I had to clean the intake filter. The viscosity of the paint is critical to an even spray pattern. The unit does not have a pressure adjustment so viscosity is the regulator. I uas using a heavy body paint and added one cup of Flotrol and one cup of water per gallon for stucco. For Wood I added two cups of flotrol per gallon. ( It was a hot day.) Clean up: Wipe the pan clean; purge the pump; added a quart of water to the pan, purge the pump; Do it again: Add a quater of water again and spray it through the hose and gun. Keep doing this until the water is clear. Clean the gun. Oil pump and gun per directions. Takes 30 min.

Wagner 770 Reconditioned

I bought this unit to spray the walls and ceiling of a new garage I built, about 1000 square feet. I had no problem setting it up and it sprayed fantastic. A nice pattern with the supplied 413 tip while spraying latex. A small overspray so use dropcloths. The tip clogged once but I turned it around and cleared it quickly. I sprayed 7 gallons of latex in 2 hours and completed the job saving me at least 15 hours using a roller and brush. A real time saver and the results were very nice. I am soooo glad I bought this unit. The cleanup took about 35 minutes. Let the pump push as much paint out of the bin using the ciculation tube pointed back into the paint bucket. Then wipe as much paint out of the bin as possible to speed the cleaning process. The rest is a breeze with very warm soapy water.

I borrowed my neighbors paint plus this fall to paint my shed. I was so impressed with it, that I bought one from amazon that is reconditioned. Upon inspection of the unit, everthing seems like new on it, a few left over paint specks but they cleaned up easily. I have’nt tried the unit because of the winter season, but plotted to paint my house with it this spring.

Most paint on unintended targets.

We bought this reconditioned sprayer to paint the ceiling in our family room. Sorry to say paint flowed from where the handle and hose connect. Then we bought a groundbreaking new unit from a local store and the paint dripped excessively from the end of the gun. Perhaps it is not intended for vertical applications. Maybe if we had bought a non-reconditioned unit to use for horizontal spraying our encounter would have been better.

Disaster waiting to happen

Buy this item and followed directions to a “T” and made sure all was tight and secure. I filled the hopper and as soon as I turned it on it blew out the connections like a bomb and cause $400 worth of hurt!

Decent Sprayer, but drips
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
At first the sprayer didn’t spray, but after cleaning the filter, it worked fantastic. The only problem is I haven’t figured out how to keep the paint from dripping. I laid kitchen cabinets on the ground to spray, and every once in a while a drop of paint fell.

The cleaning is relatively simple.

Fantastic value
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Aside from a tiny spot of dried paint here and there in the crevices of the paint tray, you’d never know this product was not new. Works perfectly and at half the price of a new unit, it’s hard to beat.

Fantastic Value And A Powerful Tool
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The reconditioned model is a fantastic value for this tool. We own the Power Roller also, and together they make painting very quick and qualified looking. The downside of the sprayer is that the user needs to practice and become comfortable with it before tackling a real wall — otherwise, the paint may end up in places that aren’t wanted! Cleanup on this tool is similar to the Power Roller — you need to attend to it promptly and fully to avoid destruction of the unit. Wagner’s lessons manual is brilliant, and answers nearly any question you’re likely to have.

Worked well but….

My spray gun came with broken handle and appered heavly used but worked well.( Idecide not to play shipping game).This gun would be excellent for outdoor projects or new construction .After spraying my room I found all inside to be covered in paint dust.Taping ,clean up and cleaning gun made this a longer process than ancient fasion roller painting.Have fun with your project and remember to protect all around working area from paint dust.

Rating:4 out of 5 stars
In small, it does what its bought to do, and it does it well. I bought the reconditioned cause I’m a cheapo, but it arrived in terrific condition. And I’m glad I saved myself the extra $99. There are only 2 small problems. 1. You do have to reprime the machine every so often, (usually when paint gets low, but it only takes about a minute or less). and 2. Cleaning it is very vital. It isn’t hard to clean, its just tedious work. But I am very glad I bought it and do recommend this to anyone looking to save time and get a qualified result.

Have used the sprayer twice since buy, used exterior stain and worked very well. Using paint very soon. Also I was very impressed with the shipping. When I order I was told that it would not ship until sometime in June. Low and behold I received the item much sooner. Have bought a few items from Amazon and have been very pleased with all that I have bought.

Soooo pleased I got this!

We have an addition to our home, another 625 sf. With some 12 ft high ceilings. I rolled the primer on the ceiling in one room which took quite awhile since my arms and shoulders got so painful. The thought of doing the rest just kept me from getting it done. First primer since its new wallboard, then painting the color! This sprayer has been just wonderful. Spraying means more masking off all but the time was cut to nothing! I couldn’t imagine having to do all the work without it. It runs just as new, you could barely see any evidence that it had been refurbished. I like it, it makes me much more motivated to conquer the outside of the house! Well worth the price!

Very excellent sprayer; tedious cleanup
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Highly not compulsory sprayer. The sprayer, once you get it going, is very excellent at distributing paint evenly and quickly. The organization of the Owner’s Manual, but, is another matter. The Owner’s Manual is hard to follow. The cleanup procedure, as described in the manual, is tedious but necessary if you want the sprayer to work next time you need it. Make sure you follow all the cleanup steps including the oil in the Inlet/Outlet Valves. After a couple of iterations you get the hang of the process and all goes much more smoothly. A rewrite of the manual would make this an brilliant product.

Need a reason to make your life miserable?
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
If your life is humming along and you are pretty pleased but feel you have no right to be, then buy this paint sprayer. Believe me that happiness will go right out the window every time you try to use it. It had more clogs than the 100 year ancient drains in my house. The sprayer clogs, the primer clogs and the hose is too stiff. It takes as long to clean the thing as it does to do the painting. So be prepared to stop your painting and start cleaning 2 hours before you get tired. I returned mine to Amazon-they are fantastic about taking things back that don’t work. Save yourself the distress and don’t buy it in the first place.

Rating:5 out of 5 stars
We chose to buy this sprayer while finishing our basement but also wanted to be able to stain our house w/o having to dilute the stain. This sprayer is awesome!! And, we felt it was simple to use! I cannot believe the amount of time it saved us to primer & paint. We just practiced on scrap wood before using on our walls, which worked well. We do recommend wearing a resp. mask while using due to the free floating mist. Clean up was simple, it just takes a small bit of time. Just follow the information provided in the user manual. But, I’m sure w/ future uses, this process will become a small quicker each time. So far, the repair unit works perfectly! Absolutely worth it for us!

Excellent product, takes a small practice
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I used this to paint a 2 tale house and found it really saves time. It takes a small practice to get the hang of it and apply an even coat. Usually it’s best to keep a brush with you to take care of any drips or get into tight spots. It does take a while to clean but if you clean it well it will work sight the next time. Overall it’s a excellent product for a homeowner I’d recomend it.

Fantastic Buy!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I place this item to work today, coating 4×8 sheets of malabu for soffits and about half our horse barn. In about 2 hours I did a job that would have taken all day without the Wagner. The sprayer worked perfectly and was no problem to clean-up afterwards. I agree with another writer, a swivel on the gun side of the supply hose is a must-have, and would make use of the sprayer that much simpler. Well worth the money and not compulsory for anyone and everyone that has log structures on their property. You’re gonna be caulking and coating logs for the rest of your life, this makes it alot simpler.

Review of Seller Northern Tools , Not Product!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
If you order this from Northern Tools be careful. I ordered and received an email notice that estimated delivery date would be 7 days. I rented scaffolding for the week of the est. delivery for painting the exterior of my house, which was a terrible thought. After 1 month of patiently waiting and still no product, I called Northern Tools and was told that product was not in stock and told me should be in any day. Another 2 weeks went by and received an email that my order was canceled because they could not get the unit in stock.

Horrible customer service. Would have been nice if they would have called and clarified the problems with my order.

zero star design
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
If zero stars would be an option to express the appreciation for a product, this spray painter would be a prime candidate. What a deficient design. Unit plugs up about every time you use it. After the 3rd time the intake valve seized. It is a major effort to clean out the unit when these things go incorrect, and after you had a thriving paint session. Stay away from it.

Worked well, died quickly
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Bought the refurbished Wagner Paint Crew sprayer from Amazon 8 months ago and just got a task to use it on. Sprayer worked well and did a fantastic job at increasing the speed and quality of my home-improvement painting. Sorry to say I had 2 problems with the sprayer: 1) During the first cleaning I learned that during refurbishing they did not replace the gun filter and it was absolutely clogged from the previous owner, 2) The unit died after the 3rd use. The pressure activated microswitch burned out. Cannot comment on routine of new units but based on my encounter I would not recommend getting a refurbished one.

excellent for beginner
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This is a excellent airless sprayer if its your first time using this kind of tool. I bought this reconditioned and it worked perfect the first time. It is a task to clean about 30 minutes or so if you follow the directions. I used it again a week later and i noticed that it was losing pressure when i painted a shed that was 7 by 10 feet and it only took about 30 minutes, not incuding the time i waited for the first coat to dry. I will be using it again in about a month or so and hopefully it will work. If not i will be looking for another airless sprayer of better durability.

More than pleased!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The unit I received was spotless. I used the paint sprayer with thick, latex paint. Did not dilute and never had a problem with blockage. I had to dilute the same paint when I used a proffessional grade airless sprayer.

Cleaning was no different than qualified units I had used in the past. Follow the cleaning information listed in the reviews and life will be excellent!

Do this on your 2nd use…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I thought I clean this painstakingly after using it the first time. It was awesome using this machine to paint. The clean up was a bit messy, but well worth it for huge jobs (3 rooms or more)

Cleaning the machine: After you are done priming the machine with water, make sure you tilt it up right to drain all remaining fluid. Don’t let fluid sit inside the valves. It might be a excellent thought to prime again with water the next day to make sure it is working before you place it away for storage.

On your second use of the machine (days/months later), try to use water to prime first. I had to find out the hard way that it was stuck after I poured the paint in already. It wasn’t priming or spraying. After cleaning the paint off the sprayer, I had to take the front valve and tank valve out to clean it. After all was cleaned, I was able to prime/spray with water. The machine is ready to go!

Bought a reconditioned wagner, for a fantastic price. Got the unit, and took it out of the box. All in all, looked in brilliant shape. Went to use it, and paint started coming out of the nozzle the world over. Seems to have a broken seal somewhere, sent it back.

Very Excellent Sprayer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I just bought and used this sprayer and the thing worked perfectly. For the price I paid ($108) I feel it was an brilliant deal. Amazon said the shipping would take 5-7 days, but really only took 2!! I was a bit nervous about using b/c I read a couple of terrible reviews but I was very pleased. It sprayes heavy enough that you dont even need 2 coats on your exterior (I used Valspar, fantastic paint $19per gallon after rebate). It taked longer to go the ladders than to spray. If I had a helper and another ladder I could have easily sprayed a side of my house in 10 min or less, thats how quick this thing goes. You can spray and then do something else for an hour or so and itll still spray just as excellent. The manual says for overnight storage to ‘pour 1/2 cups of water on top of the paint in the hopper and to wrap the gun in a damp cloth then tie it up in plastic bag’…..I was a bit nervous about that but again worked perfect the next morning. People complain about the clean up taking too long but what do you expect if you leave pain globs of paint in the unit. Just keep running water through the unit untill it all comes out clear. Took me about an hour but I was very careful. I’ve seen other sprayer selling for $300 and up and cant imagine that they spray any better than this $100 unit. Highly recommend it!

Incredible machine
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The reconditioned Wagner Paint Crew Sprayer arrived looking nearly new with only a few pieces of ancient latex paint stuck to it. I followed recommendations that i found in other Amazon reviews and the unit performed perfectly from the first line that i sprayed on my house exterior to the last pull on the trigger. In 7 hours it handled 5 gallons of 100% acrylic premium exterior paint without one single missfire.

when work was stopped for masking windows etc. or for lunch I place the paint spray head in a bucket of water and when i returned to painting it sprayed perfectly from the first pull. It place out enough volume that one could paint an entire house in one day if the masking were done ahead of time.

The only negative I found was that you do need to place the unit on a cart or in a wheelbarrow to go it around when painting a house exterior. It just is not practical to lift the whole thing and the hose with paint in it.

Works hard for a while.

I bought this paint sprayer to paint my fence and later my garage. It initially worked well on the fence, then stopped working midway though. It started working again mysteriously so I thought nothing of it. Six months later I used it paint the sealing of my garage with no problems. But, the third time I went to use it, the machine died as I was applying a clear coat to my garage floor. I got my money’s worth, but next time I need a sprayer, I will spend a small more and go to COSTCO.

Better than I expected
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this reconditioned sprayer and it worked better than I expected. The paint was very thick 1-coat trim paint that’s about as thick as runny grits: it sprayed just fine. We painted the underside of an exposed roof (porch). Rafters, sheething, nails, and all. Would have taken forever with a brush, took maybe 15 minutes with the sprayer. Did take a while to clean. The lack of a swivel tie on the hose is why 4 stars instead of 5. I am not sorry I bought this product. Wagner has a fantastic how-to video that you ought to watch before using.

Simple as pie to use.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I painted my house with a high quality exterior latex. The paint was about as thick as pudding. I set up my power sprayer per the directions, tightened the connections with a wrench, as suggested by other users, added some Wagner paint conditioner I picked up at Walmart (cheap!) and ZAP, my son and I had our two tale house painted in about 3 hours. I did find that the tank must be kept full to prevent air being sucked into the paint (you cannot use this for a quart of paint applications, you will be sucking air at once). Once you suck air and fill the tank, purge and go again. The sprayer had a fantastic pattern, smooth coverage. As for clean up, I followed another recommendation of having a spatula handy. Washed the tank with water, sprayed until clear, then place a solution of Simple Green, purged for about 5 minutes, then sprayed solution into a bucket, then filled with clear water and repeated the purge and spray process. It was not hard at all if you have a small patience.

Some of the negative reports may be users trying to use this for small quantities of paint for small jobs. When the unit is low on paint (maybe a quart in the tank) it would appear not to be empty but with thick paint, it will suck air and will result to no high pressure for the sprayer.

Service, what service
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I hope to get the chance to re-write this review, but I bought a Reconditioned unit about 4 months ago. The first time I used it, it bled paint down my arm – terrible seal in the trigger mechanism. But I liked the spraying that I was able to do. So I drove it down to the Wagner service center – - and here I sit, six weeks later, still with no gun. Guess I shouldn’t have done all of that sanding on the patio (still raw wood). I’ve been told that they are going to replace my gun with another reconditioned unit, and I should have it in a week or two. So if you do buy one of these, I hope you never have to have it serviced.

Works fantastic.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Four stars because I have no encounter with any sprayers and don’t know if the easily fixed problems are usual.

Read all the reviews and went for it. There were a couple of paint spots on the equipment but really worth the reconditioned discount and far cleaner than when I was done cleaning it. As not compulsory I bought the swivel and installed it before the first time I used it.

I have never used a sprayer before and started off painting two doors with semi-gloss water base. My first side was nearly perfect. My second side was much worse, but all because of me. I re-sanded and re-sprayed and that was all it took to be pleased with the attention.

Poured water on top of the reservoir and stuck the sprayer in a bag with a damp cloth, four hours later a small mixing and all was excellent. A few test sprays and cleansing sprays before starting made things as excellent as new. The directions say you can wait up to 16 hours which is more than enough time to let things dry and do another coat.

Clean up does take a bit of time, but no longer than if you want to reuse a brush or roller.

I was a slightly hesitant buyer and am a absolutely pleased buyer.
