 Worked Great With Stain August 31, 2008
I was able to stain both sides of a ~250' long wood fence and part of a deck in just a few hours. So much easier than constantly refilling the small cup on a hand-held sprayer. The wheels allowed me to roll it around outside on grass and through weeds.
The salesperson at Home Depot warned me that they do not stock the small Wagner maintenance parts (you need to order them from Wagner) so I will probably order some fine and coarse filters for future use and get a swivel for the spray gun.
One thing I noticed is that two tips come with the sprayer but neither is the 515 tip listed on the box and in the Home Depot ad so I'll be calling Wagner tomorrow to get the tip they advertise as included with the sprayer. The photo on the box doesn't show the paint roller attachment so I was pleasantly surprised to find it was included in the price of $189.
Be aware that some assembly is required. Also the owner's manual has room for improvement. I did not see any discussion of tip selection based on the material being sprayed.
I was hoping to also use this for spraying latex paint but based on some of the reviews I may just use it for stain.

I bought this to paint the inside of a shop I built. I read through the manual and tried to use it. I was using a primer that I had thinned with water but it still clogged. After thinning and trying a couple more times and going through the process of cleaning the filter I finally called the store where I bought it. They said "oh ya!, you have a fine mesh filter you need a more coarse one." I said what else. They said I should get a strainer for lumps that may be in the primer (there were no lumps in the strainer). So I made the 10 mile trip back to get the new filter that I thought should have been in the box where the manual was, the manual that made no mention of any of these problems. I installed the new filter and after a couple false starts (I had to remove and clean or reseat the nozzle) I finally got it to work (for 2 walls). I was just getting the hang of it when the pump/motor died. I had even been willing to deal with the splatter drops ( I figured it was from the primer being so thinned out. But this was the final straw. I'm taking it back to get my money back. I would keep it to paint my house and stain my deck but too many other people have had too many hardware failures for me to take a chance. Worst tool experience I've had.
8/23/08 This is an update. I returned the failed unit and after talking with the store personnel and Wagner Tech. Support I learned what I should have learned before using it the first time. You need to learn about filters/spray tips/paint and limits of the sprayer. This sprayer comes with a fine mesh 100 filter and a .015 inch tip. I found out the primer I was trying to spray requires a .021 inch tip and coarser 50 mesh filter.
These are available for the sprayer that is 2 models up from this one.
The Wagner guy said that my primer far exceeds the capability of the this sprayer. There are about a half dozen different tips for the Wagner sprayers and almost as many filters. You have to match these to the paint and sprayer you have. If you don't you will cause the sprayer to fail prematurely via motor failure, valve failure and poor performance. If the recommended tip size isn't listed on the paint can, call the paint manufacturer and they will tell you what tip to use.
Bottom line, against everyone's recommendations I bought a .021 tip and 50 mesh filter and some Wagner Paint Easy (good stuff), strained and thinned the primer and finished the job. It seemed to work fine but I was told the output valve life would be greatly reduced. The larger the tip size the harder you work the sprayer. I'm told you can drop in a new valve faily easy. Later I put on the top coats and it worked great. It's a good sprayer but not a do-everything sprayer as the outside of the box would suggest and Wagner should definately educate the new owner via the manual about it's limitations. I don't think they mention anything about filters or tip sizes. I would now rate this sprayer at least 4 out of 5.
 STOP! Don't buy this product! I should have listened to the reviews! August 6, 2008
Yes it's true, I should have listened to the reviews. Oh I thought I could learn from everyone's mistakes and if I cleaned my machine out correctly I'd not have the problems others discuss. I was wrong.
I have only used my Paint Crew once... for about 30 minutes, and then an essential part - (the inlet sleeve/inlet valve parts) broke. As it turns out this part cannot be replaced at your local Home Depot, you must contact Wagner itself to get it. I am furious. I did everything by the book and yet this junk - and I do mean junk - fell apart on its first use.
I will NEVER purchase another project from Wagner for as long as I live.
Do yourself a favor and go a different route.

I used this item new out of the box for a basement wall painting project. Setup and assembly were by the book with no problems. I painted for about an hour using 3 gallons of paint. It worked great until the pump would not start again. There was no pressure in hose, and the pump would not restart. Hose was not stiff like it had been under pressure. I disassembled and tried several times to change pressure settings to and from prime. The motor would not restart. The bad thing is I could not even get it to run to clean the nozzle or the hose. Basically the thing will become junk when the paint hardens in there. Wagner says I have to take it or send it to a repair center (over 2 hours away). Wagner will not send me a replacement even though it is less than a month old. I will try to return to store but I question how another one will be after reading all the mediocre reviews.
Stopped working halfway through the project July 10, 2008
Bought this item and had high hopes that it would save me a ton of work repainting the house. At first it did as advertised but after a couple of gallons of latex enamel it took a dump and would not restart. I read the instructions before starting and even added the flow additive but it still went south the first day. Too bad cause it worked like a dream at first! Needless to say I returned it for a refund.
