Customer reviews for Wagner Flexio 3000 HVLP Handheld Paint Sprayer forlove it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this sprayer because I was going to paint the white vinyl siding on my house. I researched the right paint to use and bought the paint and then September we had only 7 dry days out of the whole month so the project was put on hold. But after finally having cooler and dryer weather I was able to use my Flexio 3000 and boy was it great. Good control for getting around windows and fast coverage of the broad areas. I will use it to paint the shutters as well after I remove them from the house. Half way through and I am very happy with how it is coming out. I will post pictures when I am done.
Wont do what it says spatters more than anything
I bought this to make my job easier due to a bad shoulder. I am painting my garage walls and ceilings. I used the sherwin williams primer for the ceiling and ultra high gloss as a finish coat. All the sprayer does is spatter and doesnt give a fine spray no matter what setting i use. I have to redo everything with a roller. It will not spray latex and give a good finish. All in all i am very displeased with the product. I am 6 to 8 inches away when spraying and my walls look more like stucco from all the spatter.
Easiest sprayer out there.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this out and it worked great. It was very easy to set up. The spraying went excellent for an interior room. I had precise control over the application of the flow, so I could apply just what I needed, with no waste. The clean up on this is very quick and easy. It only took a few minutes and I was done. This also comes in a protective case for easy storage. I would highly recommend buying this.
Amazing tool
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.
Easy cleanup!
[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.
Perfect sprayer for the money!
We bought the Wagner sprayer to makeover our kitchen cabinets. It worked great & then we used it to repaint our doors, and brick work. It saved us a ton of time!! It was easy to set up, did a great job and was easy to clean up. (Although it did take a few moments longer to clean properly than they said.). Overall it’s a great little product at a reasonable price!
Great for trim and fine painting!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about two months ago, and I had some trim to spray and some other misc furniture, I really like the end result detail spraying this stuff, the sprayer had two nozzles and I've also used for spraying primmer. Works great all in all!
Great easy to use sprayer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still new but so far so good. I am doing a major inside painting/rehab project. I have acoustic, rough, ceilings and plan to use the painter to greatly simplify the job. New bathroom is the current task. Stay tuned!
Great for trim
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an owner of a Flexio 890 HVLP paint sprayer. I have used that system over 500 times and would probably be considered a power user. The folks at Wagner have asked me to evaluate their Flexio 3000 system. Since the 3000 system shares some significant similarities with the 890 I was definitely interested. Starting with general comments, the 3000 consists of a power unit, a detail sprayer for small jobs and an iSpray nozzle used primarily for walls. The power unit is handheld and compact and attaches directly to the sprayer nozzle without any additional hoses. From the tip of the nozzle to the end of the power unit, the assembly measures 12 to 14 inches long depending on which nozzle is attached. This means that any job that intended for the 3000 must be easily accessible without any confined spaces. Painting in between shelves or inside of cabinets may pose some problems. The 3000 is a very quiet system. The system only runs when the trigger is pulled. Detail Sprayer: The material for all jobs that I will use the 3000 on will be either water based or water borne paint. On 5 jobs, I was shooting primer. I shot a heavy solids primer similar to Zinseer or Kilz, followed by Behr 75. In all of the jobs, I used the detail sprayer and adjusted the material flow. I left the power unit setting at min. The unit did an excellent job at laying the primer down. There was no problem shooting the heavy solids primer but, I did cut it. One thing I did notice was that the unit was heavy and caused my arm to tire after a while. On the next series of jobs using the detail sprayer I sprayed a satin enamel. The 3000 laid down an excellent finish on each of the jobs. One thing I noticed compared to my other system was that the finish laid down by the 3000 is much less susceptible to flashing. This makes it a good tool to use on doors and trim. I was impressed. Pattern width control is not part of the detail nozzle design and would certainly be a plus if added. Clean up of the sprayer really doesn’t take more that a few minutes. I don’t usually spend more than 5 minutes, but I have had a lot of practice. PROs: Excellent finish, quick to assemble, easy to clean CONs: Heavy, work must be easily accessible iSPRAY: I did several jobs using the iSpray nozzle. I am familiar with this nozzle as I have done many jobs with an earlier revision of it on the 890 system. One of the changes that was implemented on this revision of the iSpray was the material flow control. It has 12 numbered positions which make dialing in the proper flow easy. Some additional changes were made on the nozzle itself which I assume were aimed to eliminate the stippled finish of the earlier version of the iSpray. I wasn’t able to confirm this since I was painting textured walls. For my jobs, I was shooting both PVA and latex wall paint. I had used both of these paints before on my other system. I prepared the paints by filtering and cutting. I started with a small amount, 500 ml. I left the power unit on min as a start and dialed in the material flow from 1 to 4. Although there wasn’t much paint in the sprayer, the unit became heavy after a short use. It would be very tiring using this while working on a ladder especially with a full sprayer. My paint strokes with the iSpray did not start smoothly. Each time I pulled the trigger, the nozzle would spit. Normally, I would expect spit if the paint wasn’t cut properly. That wasn’t the issue here. I attempted to eliminate the problem by adding power. I tweeked the power setting from min up to 3. That did not fix the spitting problem. All it did was cause the unit to consume more paint. Paint consumption has been an ongoing battle between me and the iSpray. At power = 3 and material flow = 4, the 500ml I had loaded in the sprayer didn’t last long. I encountered an additional problem with the iSpray that did not manifest with the detail nozzle. This was a delay in material delivery between trigger pulls. With the detail nozzle, the type of work being done generally involves quick strokes in rapid succession. With the iSpray, the strokes are slower and the time between release of trigger to pull of trigger is usually a few seconds longer compared to the detail sprayer. With each new pull, there was a noticeable delay between the time I pulled the trigger until the time the paint started spraying. It was only a second or 2 but I had already started the stroke. Clean up was similar to what I am used to. The entire process took only about 5 minutes. PROs: material flow much easier to adjust on this revision, clean up is easy CONs: Heavy, spits, excessive paint consumption, flow delay Overall: I like this system with the detail sprayer. It is very quick to set up and lays down an excellent finish. Clean up takes just a few minutes. I highly recommend the system for jobs compatible with the detail sprayer. I do not like the system with the iSpray and don’t recommend it at this time.
Well Worth It
I bought the Flexio 3000 to paint some old cabinets I’m turning into a bar. I’ve only used a spray gun on my house. I read the directions, then I practiced on the non visible side so I could adjust the pattern and they came out beautiful. Can’t wait to start the next project. Keep in mind reading the instructions is a must.
