Amazon.com Product Description
Rated by "American Painting Contractor" magazine as one of the top 10 painting products to come out in the last year, the Wagner PaintEater is three surface-prep tools in one. Great for outdoor painting projects large and small, the PaintEater is the first rotating paint prep tool on the market that, in a single pass, removes paint chips, feathers paint edges, and abrades surfaces for excellent paint adhesion. Aggressive on paint, gentle on siding and trim, this tool efficiently removes peeling paint from siding and trim as well as concrete block, steel and masonry. Equipped with a soft-grip main handle and retractable side handle for optimal comfort, the tool is also designed for single-handed operations where the other hand wants to hold onto the ladder, as well as two-hand operations where high-pressure, aggressive work is required to whisk away loose paint siding, trim, and outdoor furniture. A Velcro strap offers secure hand position for ladder work. A protective shroud keeps hands safe near the rotating disk. A smoothly designed, arbor lock makes it easy to change disks without tools. Lightweight and easy to control, the unit's flexible disc gets into corners and quickly removes paint from clapboard overhangs. --Brian D. Olson

 you should probably buy this July 8, 2008

Somebody painted my deck before we bought the house. Surprise! It's peeling. This tool seems to do a pretty good job of taking up the paint without damaging the wood beneath.
If you're reading this review and you've tried hand scraping and a heat gun, your next step really should be this tool. It's going to be a combination of those tools to get the paint off of my deck, but most of the work will be with this tool.
You will need a respirator, too. It puts out a lot of dust.
Good luck.
 Effective, but not cost effective. I may be able to save you $60. March 18, 2008

The good: Product does what it says, removes paint quickly.
The bad: HOW MUCH FOR A REPLACEMENT PAD THAT LASTS 15 MINUTES???
I have gone through 2 pads to take paint off roof trim. After the first pad wore out rather quickly, I made a conscious effort to go easy on the pressure, but the results weren't much better. One pad will clean the paint off about 20' of 4" wide trim, and takes 10-15 minutes. For $15 a pad, it is cheaper for me to buy new trim and nails and to replace it, and it takes about as much time. Also, the pad will cut grooves into soft wood, so using it on contoured surfaces (like window trim) is a no-no. Also, you will still have to find some other way to get into the corners, since this is a circular tool.
If you have a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a 5/8" arbor, you can use it with the pad alone and not have to buy the whole tool. Save yourself $60.

I was really concerned about the wide range of opinions on this tool, but I had a tough job and needed any help I could get. I wish I hadn't spent the money on this. I was using it to strip off peeling, chipping paint from a bedroom with 1960's wallboard. It was very difficult to keep steady on a flat surface. It would easily dig in to the wallboard, and also left circular marks. The only way to avoid damage was to have a very light touch, which didn't help to remove the paint. I think it might work better on hard wood or metal, but they will need to develop different types of pads for different material.
Great tool for removing paint June 2, 2007

After a short learning curve. The machine worked well and is much lighter then other machines owned. The pad works great. The pad can be aggressive to wood but a aquired feel allows good control. You might want to start in an out of the way spot not the front door. It similar to a pressure washer, used properly it is a great tool, but misuse can damage the surface. My only negative is the switch which should deenergize when unplugged.
 Do not buy this!!! March 26, 2007

I bought this to strip paint off of my 1870's, 3700 sq foot house. It got a good review in handyman so I thought it would be just the thing I needed. Boy was I wrong! Not only is it extremely awkward to handle, it put circle impressions in my siding. This created even more work, now I have to fix my damaged wood! Do yourself a favor, if you care about the wood under the paint, go buy a $5 rubbermaid scraper or a good heat gun.
