My wife bought the 3000 model and I used this weekend for the first time. I watched at least 10 how to videos on how to set it up, how to adjust all of the settings, vertical/horizontal painting and clean up. I felt it was important since it cost as much as it did. I bought 3 gallons of outdoor paint from one of the big box stores. I followed the directions and everything was going REALLY well for a few minutes. The next thing I know is this sprayer starts slinging....literally slinging paint. I stopped, cleaned the nozzle and started over......well this went on for a while. Good thing I was only painting a deer stand because it would have completely ruined anything else. My experience was so bad I thought about just throwing everything away. I had paint all over everything including myself. Not sure what to do at this point except get a different manufacturer for a better unit!

I have been using my sprayer for about three weeks now. I know every guy usually bust out the sprayer and tries to learn by experiment. If you take the time to read the instructions it makes it easier to use. Be sure to follow the directions on cleanup to help remove the residual paint that gets everywhere.

The wife hated the original color of our cabinets. I wanted a professional look (i.e. no brush / roller marks) without having to pay a professional to come in. I took a gamble on the Flexio 3000. I sprayed the doors and drawers in the garage, and then sealed off the kitchen and taped off EVERYTHING and even sprayed the cabinet bases on the wall with the finish nozzle (water-base alkyd paint along with having doors open and exhaust fans made it manageable to spray inside). I was very happy with the final look of the cabinets. There isn't a brush stroke in sight.

I am in the process of remodeling a 1974 Travel Trailer and it's time to paint the exterior. I have several paint sprayers from cheep to professional but I have to always play with the thickness of the paint. The Wagner 3000 says you can paint without thinning so I though I would try it. I have not used a easier sprayer then this one. I stirred the paint, filled the container for the sprayer, adjusted both setting to nominal position (5) and started spraying. Because I didn't have to thin the paint one coverage did a perfect job. My only complaint is that for a bigger job like this with the additional weight of the paint the sprayer does get a little heavy after a while so I found myself switching hands occasionally. For the ease of the job using this sprayer the weight is a minor price to pay. I would recommend the Wager 3000 to anyone. Clean up was very easy, I just removed a few parts ran them under hot water and the unit was ready to put away for the next job. I’m going to put new tires on so wheels will be stripped and painted at that time. Very Nice Job Wagner.

My new Wagner Flexio 3000 allowed me to complete my task of repainting my deck rails in about two hours. This paint job had taken me two days before,so as far as I am concerned the paint sprayer paid for itself in time saved. Simple to use and clean up was much easier than expected.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The nozzle is very easy to use and adjust. I used this product to finish putting solid water-base stain on my exterior fence. Paint went on with one coat with a medium setting. The only downside is sprayer with a full container attached with the motor can get tiresome after prolong usage. Other than that, great quality and easy to clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sprayer is attractive, easy to use and clean, and has easy to use controls that require little no no know-how or training. It is a great paint sprayer. One thing I’m ready to see added as a feature to the Wagner sprayers is a trigger locking mechanism. My grip is getting weaker, and my grip is getting exhausted quickly while using the paint sprayer. Holding the weight of the sprayer + paint (which isn’t too heavy) AND continuously pulling the trigger is too much for an extended period of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. Easy to set up and use. Will be using for a while. Would recommend tip use for small jobs around the house and garage. Convenient containers for easy changing of supply. Also very easy to clean after using the sprayer.

For me the ease to use and the easy clean up are the main factors weighing in on my choice. For the same reason I recommended it already to my brother-in-law for his project to stain the deck behind his house. The perfect tool for me.... I'm not good with a paint brush or roller, so most projects were handed to professionals. This time around I bought the Flexio 3000 and tackled painting the inside of my garage, it went quick and clean and it looks nice and even...
