easy to use, easy to clean

Love this machine

I purchased this sprayer to repaint my stamped concrete walkway, side and back patio approx 1500sf. I sprayed 2 coats of paint, then 2 coats of a gloss sealer also sprayed 2 coats of sealer on flagstone porch, all went smooth and saved a lot of time then rolling entire areas. Just make sure you do your prep work and keep a clean rag handy when spraying to clean the tip every so often, overall this new sprayer worked as expected and cut my painting time in half.

Fence and Pergola stained in 4 hours for fence and about six for pergola. Each would be easily double or triple that time by any other method. Physically the effort is minimal compared to other options. Clean up was not bad. Just be sure to keep the nozel clean with damp cloth while using to prevent clogging.

We bought this kit as we were renovating our basement and wanted to paint the beams..its an older home so we were going for the rustic white wash look, however we knew we couldn't brush it on. Picked this set up and away we went. Easy to set up and use. Just be careful not to leave it sit idol for too long allowing paint to dry, however if you do this si super wash to take the parts apart, soak and they come out looking like new again! As with any sprayer, there is some overspray bit it's too be expected.

I purchased a Flexio 3000 to stain the 1200 concrete landscaping blocks used in various berms throughout my yard. Previously I performed this task with a paint brush over several days, but this sprayer allowed me to complete this task within hours. The Flexio applied the paint across the rough uneven surface of the blocks, applying the paint in all the nooks and cranies of each block. Looks great! Since then I have used it to stain fences and decks and have had great results with all projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I truly enjoyed working with this sprayer. It was so easy to use and clean up was a breeze. I was afraid that the paint would look spotty but it looked even after I was done. I did not have to use a lot of pressure to operate the trigger. It was easy to press and the paint came out evenly. I believe it cut my painting time down by 60%. I did a 10 x 11 room in 15 minutes. It took more time to tape off everything. If you have a small paint job, this painter is great. It's simple to use and very easy to clean afterwards.

I have used the equipment on a 2 projects. Follow the instructions and you will be pleased with the results. Clean up is a bit time consuming. Painting the interior roof of a she-shed took some forearm strength and 3 hours but it would have taken days to paint the all those nooks and crannies effectively with a roller and brush.

I give this sprayer a 5 star rating for spray quality and easy clean-up. Sprayer was easy to set-up and even easier to clean than some of the older spray guns I've used in the past. One thing that I found a bit of a nuisance was the distance from the trigger to the handle. I found it a bit easier to use my middle finger to reach the trigger, to avoid hyper-extending my traditional method of using my first finger to pull the trigger. On a long spray job this can be bothersome. That's why the four star rating was given.

Spray painter works poorly. Dispenses too small an amount of paint. Used on an exterior fence. Could have painted it with a brush quicker and with better coverage.
