Wagner Paint Crew Paint Sprayer

Pros: Works great, introduction to pro level
Cons: Noisy, uses a lot of paint, overspray

I needed to stain our fence this summer and after getting some quotes I decided that I could do it myself (which I am finding that I am doing more and more). As long as the final cost is less than the quote I am usually not in trouble from the spouse if ...

Pros: Easy to use. Excellent results. Doesn't clog much.
Cons: Hopper holds little paint. Takes forever to clean. No extension/roller accessories.

I'm using the Paint Crew to completely repaint my house. I am halfway through, and I will use around 20 gallons of Latex Primer and Paint by the time I am finished. This is my first time painting a house, and using a sprayer. I'm very impressed by the ...

Pros: Really fast painting and staining.
Cons: Laborious and potentially shocking cleanups.

If you ask me, Tom Sawyer had it right: You are better off getting someone else to paint your fence and pay you for the opportunity to do so. Barring that, other options must be explored. We already had experience with the brush/paint roller method ...

Pros: Fast, 25 foot hose, 2 gallon hopper, excellent gun, no clogs
Cons: So fast you'll go broke buying paint

You'll lay down paint so fast and effortlessly you won't be able to buy it fast enough! I've used thick interior latex inside and thin exterior latex outside and it works equally well. Cleanup is very easy, just follow the directions. 'Do take a ...

Pros: Easy to set up Easy to use
Cons: Limited Hopper size

This sprayer is everything it promises to be and I would compare it to the professional ones available for 350 and above or rental equipment. Painted 600 ft of fence in about 5-6 hours with no problem. And I have to say this was my first paint job with ...

Pros: Worth the $140 it costs now, sprays great when it's working.
Cons: Will not last for more than 1 house painting job. Needs a swiveled end.

I purchased this Wagner 770 Paint Crew last year, it's been sitting in my garage a while and I just started painting around late April 2007. We're almost finished painting my 2 story 4 bed 3 bath house I have one small area left and I don't know if this ...

Pros: cannot think of any
Cons: Long clean up time, sprayer clogs too easily

It was a straight forward project: paint the atrium. It evolved to something out of Mission Impossible. A short background: we own a town home with an inside atrium open to the sky. The atrium walls are brick, with one inside wall with glass windows, ...

Pros: Under $200
Cons: Very difficult to clean well enough to re-use.

I spent a lot of time researching and reading reviews on-line before deciding to purchase this unit. It seemed that for a pretty "serious" do-it-yourselfer, like myself, this was the ticket. Small, compact, easy to use with a built-in hopper. The ...

Pros: Great price, Easy to use, Fast
Cons: Paint hopper shape, Over-spray (leaning curve), Little wasted paint

Cost – You can not beat the price of this sprayer. I think that it is priced just right for what you get. No, it is NOT a professional stray painter, and neither am I (or you), or you wouldn't even be thinking about this unit. My unit performed ...

Pros: Easy to use, does a great job.
Cons: The hose is stiff and needs a swivel.

For the money this is one of the better products I have purchased. I purchased the Paint Crew because of the price and I had to paint a stucco house. I painted a 1500 sq. ft. three bedroom house and a 8 x 10 ft. storage shed in 6 hours. I was a ...

Pros: When it's working, puts out paint quickly and evenly.
Cons: Short-life, disposable paint sprayer. Hopper design - bad idea. Don't buy it!

I recently bought a house that needs a lot of priming and painting inside and out. Because of this, I started looking for a paint sprayer and found a reconditioned Wagner Paint Crew online for $99.99. Even after paying the $9.99 extra for a year extended ...

Pros: Ease of use. Good spray gun and pattern.
Cons: Prone to fail at inopportune time. No local parts.

The Wagner Paint Crew is a step up from the handheld Wagner and a big step down from a professional airless model. If you are a professional or even an avid DIY'r spring for a low end pro-type piston sprayer. As mentioned on many other posts, ease of ...

Pros: When working..sprays paint great.
Cons: Cheaply made. No over the counter availability of replacement parts, Bad Customer Service.

But the truth is this machine is not all Wagner claims it is. Fourth of July this year I purchased the paint crew from a local home store. I had a fence to paint with exterior latex. I'm not a novice to airless sprayers. I've rented ones in the past ...

Pros: Lots of paint with good control.
Cons: Parts not readily available, simple but critical part failed.

I read the reviews, I looked at the literature, I shopped around, and this seemed like the most capable, least expensive unit on the market. I have had bad experiences with a Wagner in the past (twenty years ago I spent an entire summer trying to coax ...

Pros: Quick, relatively inexpensive, reasonably good quality, learning is easy but must read directions
Cons: Time to cleanup, careful w/over-spray, no paint speed control, some learning time, hose management required

Bought this unit to paint my house before the weather got too cold to paint. Didn't have many days left, so I needed something quick. Had to do a lot of taping first - covered most of the windows. Once that was done I started on my cedar siding. I ...
