About me - I started my career within the built-environment aged 15 as decorator. I then trained and worked as a Carpetner & Joiner, and nowadays work as a qualified Building Surveyor, developer and an all round DIY-enthusiast, and so I'd like to think I can offer a fair and balanced review here... Other peoples reviews - Never have I been so conflicted in whether to buy a product or not; a read through the reviews and you'll see conflicting positive and negative reviews from both DIYers and Pro's alike - I would however point out now that this product is not designed or intended for use in the professional trade, it just wouldn't stand up to such sustained use or the typical wear and tear tools are subjected to within a site environment. For DIYers who are likley to use it for shorter periods, and for occassional small projects, I think it is absolutely fantastic (I'm thinking decorating a house, extension, loft conversion, furniture, shed, fences and so forth). My justification for buying this machine was that for £200, if it only lives as long as it takes me to complete the projects I want it for, and it provides a superior finish to traditional methods, and it saves me a load of time in decorating (I actually hate decorating!), than it's money well spent. I also don't usually write reviews, but I felt strongly that the this unit, for the price, had been misrepresented and that based on the many conflicting reviews I had seen, others will have struggled to make the most informed decison, and hence I felt motivated to write this (lenthy) review. My projects - Initially I bought this product for 3 specific uses; first off, I am refurbishing a baby changing and drawer unit and wanted more of a professional spray finish than the hand-painted look, but also I wanted to use a more specialist water-based non-VOC paint (from Little Knights) and invariably such water-based paints are otherwise tricky to acheve flat finishes with via traditional methods, and also spray cans and oil based paints werent an option for me. I also wanted to spray our converted garage room, and next year I intend to spray an extension and loft conversion we are planning build. Set-up - There's not a lot of options to setting up and its all quite intuituve; however, I will stress the importance of following the instructions step-by-step and I suspect those who have said the machine failed early, paint pouring out everywhere, may not have followed the instructions and set it up incorrectly. I can't stress enough how important this is. Preparation - The machine is an air compessor, it effectively blows air out at quite a rate continuously and then trigger controls the flow of paint. For the reason that it continously blows out paint, you are going to want to make every best effort to remove any dust from the envionment and this can be tricky, but otherwise, there will be the tendancy for the air to kick up any dust built up in corners or rooms, or from below skirtings etc. With either attachements, there is an incredible amount of paint mist created and so you are going to want to be exceptionally careful if you are spraying in furnished rooms or around windows and doors etc - lots of plastic covers and masking tape required - Good and thorough preparation is absolutely key here. Bottle fed gun - So first up is the baby changing unit with the hand held bottle gun; having thoroughly prepped the unit and set up for spraying I went straight for it with no practice run - I have to say that it was not at all that bad for a first attempt. With the set-up of the bottle, you have to mindful as to which way you angle the straw feeder, because if you are spraying mostly upwards for example, and you start to run low on paint, the paint will naturally build-up towards the rear and this is where you'll get a bit of splatter occurring. After a light key and second coat, finished with a light rub down with wet & dry to flatten off the finish, I was really pleased with the results I'd achieved. I did however put a third coat over it just because I was being fussy, and there were a few areas wihtin the drawers where it had blown dust out of the crevices that slight tarnished my finish (but this is my own fault having not preppred thoroughly enough!). All in all, each coat took about about 5mins to apply (rapid!) and I used approx 1.5litres for 3 coats of Little Knights water based paint liberally applied. I would also just say, that for a water based paint, it provided a really nice flat finish but slightly rough finish which was simply improved and flattened off with a wet and dry sandpaper finish - To manage expectations; with the gun and a water-based paint, you will get a better finish than with rollers & brushes, but you would be hard pressed to achieve that absolutely perfect factory-type finish. Next up is the spraying of the conveted garage with the lance - directly fed into a well mixed tin of dulux emulsion, only very slightly diluted, and I absolutely flew around the room within 30mins and the finish is great. What I will say is that in this room, there is no final floor finish, one small window, and only one door and so prep for me was minimial and I didnt need to be too worried about the mess from the overspray. If however you are spraying within a furnished room, with lots of light fittings, windows and other tricky features, you'll need to spend the majority of your time prepping over painting. Cleaning up - This is equally as important as prep, many have commented that the unit worked fine on first use but on further use they have had issues with splatter spoiling their finish and again, I fear they may not have been following the instructions on clean-up and that dried paint in the machine will likley have caused this issue - Follow the instructions, clean up every component after use, use the clean setting of the lance, flush through a lot of clean water several times only and not only is it still quicker than cleaning up trays, brushes and rollers, but you'll be good to go when you set it up the next time around. Build-Quality - I cannot believe some have commented that it feel's cheap and plastic, take a look at comparable professional equipment, take a look at the cost of air compressors and spray guns, and I think you'll find that for £200 you are actually getting a lot of equipment for you money here. So what it's made of plastic, just be careful with it. Again, I doubt very much it would stand up to being used on a daily basis for pro-use, carted from site to site, and being packed in and out of a van, its just not designed for that sort of use - it's £200, you get more than what you pay for. Summary - Excellent value and all round excellent piece of kit. I think it would be onerous to buy it to redecorate a fully furnished house due to the amount of paint mist it creates, but for clean and clear rooms which are not liable to being trafficked, new extensions, fences, and small items of furniture, I think it is an absolutely superb piece of kit and well worth the money - I almost enjoyed decorating again...almost. Best of luck, read the instructions, prep well, clean it well and you'll be golden!

Waste of lots of time and money (£130). The lance sprayed a bit on first use but not impressive and was very messy. Fortunately I was just whitening a very scruffy dark loft. Wouldn't dare try it on a domestic room. After this I cleaned thoroughly and followed all instructions and videos but it would only squirt thinned emulsion but not atomise or spray it, seemed to lack sufficient power. Wasted hours diligently checking everything but to no avail. Every attempt to use wasted huge amounts of both paint and my time. It is very cumbersome and a lot of hassle. It has merely hindered and prolonged the job I wanted to do. As a last resort, I tried to use the bottle attachment which only requires the main air hose but this didn’t work at all. Pulling the trigger does absolutely nothing. Back to rollers and brushes. Too late to return, not ethical to sell such rubbish. Now destined for the tip!

I bought this to try and spray a workshop with deluxe easy care and didn’t expect it to do very well but I’m gobsmacked how well it has done a simple 10 to 1 dilution and it worked faultlessly and only used the spray bottle not the extension the video shows just one thick coat it’s worth every penny

This is a quick review of the product after just receiving it and using after day 1. Package arrived super quickly and I had an entire house to paint so started off with Leyland Trade Contract Matt Emulsion Paint to cover bare plaster (whilst it does state that you do not need to dilute, I did dilute as this was the first coat on bare plaster). I started off by masking up all areas like windows and anything that was still in the room and then started to assemble the sprayer. This is not complicated but there are quite a few bits to assemble. The instructions are OK but I did get stuck at one point and sought help from youtube but could not find anything relating to a setup guide for this model. The issue was where to connect one of the pipes as there is a plastic cover hiding the connector on the spray end of the handle, this has to be removed to connect the paint feed. Everything connected I turned on and filled with paint with following the instructions, easy job. Then when you turn the device on beware that the air pressure will come out of the nozzle even when the trigger is not pressed, hence if you still have the nozzle pointing at the paint pot when you turn on, you will get a nice spray of paint from the air coming out of the nozzle. Now pointing the nozzle at the walls (as I should have been) and a pull of the trigger and a nice steady flow of paint comes onto the wall. I did notice that it takes a while to work out the speed and distance to get a good covering but generally the finish was looking good all over. I noticed that after some time I lost paint feed completely and thought it was due to the paint getting a bit low, so topped up but still nothing came. I checked the manual again and it only refers to no paint == blocked hence you need to clean it. As I had only been working for a short while I thought this unlikely and eventually realised the reason, there is a small pipe which connects under the handle which had popped off, the connection on this is not great, but reconnected it and back in business. When spraying walls, I found it fairly easy to avoid the over-spray but when doing ceiling, this was more difficult and found i got covered pretty much with a fine mist of paint. But the paint on the walls and ceilings look great. Occasionally I put on too much and you can either wipe it off and start again or simply turn off the trigger to stop the paint feed and use the air pressure to push the paint where needed, once its dispersed it dries nice and even. Once finished I then went through a clean process by simply getting some hot soapy water to clean the exterior of the device and a bucket of warm water for the pipe, following the clean process, it was very easy to clean and overall very pleased. Only dropped 1 star due to the slight difficulty with the pipe disconnection which I can be avoided by carefully fitting one of the pipe clips in place carefully at the top where the pipe connects so that there is no movement on the pipe.

Price is cheaper then eny we’re else and delivered on date stayed hassle free

Bought this as I had a few large rooms to decorate. It is Really well made. Fairly easy to set up. I used the small spray bottle first to try and get a feel for it. Results where really good on a freshly plastered wall. Next I tried the spray lance on the ceiling. Results were not great. The paint appeared to come in large splats rather than an atomised mist. Even on the lowest paint setting. Probably user error, so I went back to the smaller portable spray gun. Again results were great. I did give the lance another shot after reading the manual again. However I had the same results. Too much paint and not great results. Conclusion - using the hand gun is really easy and the results are tremendous. Paint seems to really go a long way with seamless coverage. Would give the lance a wide berth.

Awful. Avoid, avoid, avoid. It felt like a Fisher Price toy during assembly. Then despite the marketing saying 'It will spray any paint'.... Well, it won't. I was using a water based primer, quite thin and it broke on first use. The pump was surging on and off. Feels very, very plasticy and like it could break at any moment. Even the spray nozzle is plastic! On more professional sprayers the replaceable nozzles are made of tool steel and still need replacing eventually. Fortunately Amazons excellent service meant I could send it back and get a full refund. So I've used the refund to get a Graco sprayer which feels like a tank in comparison. Lots of inconvenience and time wasted trying to trouble shoot and then wait for a new sprayer when I'd taken time off work to do the spraying.

Fantastic product a must buy i hate painting ceilings with a paint roller and so time consuming and aching arms so i brought the Wagner Universal Sprayer W 950 FLEXiO and am i soooo glad to buy this product, not only it is easy to use and clean, i painted my living room ceiling (which was 20ft by 16ft) with this product and finished in under 15mins not only that but i not long moved in to my property and all the ceilings was purple so i thought 2 or may be 3 coats would be needed boyyy was i wrong this product done it in one coat well impressed and does a professional job my only advice with this product is to use a Respirator Moulded Valved & Protective Goggles & overalls highly recommend this product.

Attention ! Prise américaine ! Pas d adaptateur fourni! Sinon pour le reste tout est ok! Pas encore testé !

Nach dem dritten mal benutzen, war das Sieb im Farbeimer ,während des spritzens hart geworden. Das Gerät konnte keine Farbe mehr absaugen. Nach dem reinigen ging es für ca 5 Minuten wieder einwandfrei. Danach hat das Gerät wieder keine Farbe angesaugt. Diesmal war es ganz defekt. Auch der Mechanismus vorne an der Spritze war schon defekt, sodass ich es mit Panzertape fixiert habe. Oft hat es vorne die Düse verstopft. Amazon hat mir nicht den vollen Kaufpreis erstattet. Selbst Wagner, also den Hersteller habe ich eine Mail geschickt und keine Antwort bekommen. Insgesamt aus meiner Erfahrung total schlecht. Die Idee ist gut , wenn alles funktionieren würde.
