Good machine, but takes getting used to.
Generally, a good product once you get the hang of it - but for a novice it takes quite a long time to 'get it right'. The machine is very sensitive to paint mixture; too thick, and the paint sprays in 'blobs'. Too thin, and the paint runs into the air hose. Also, the machine clogs rather quickly after you are done using it, so for example, if you are painting a section and then stop for several minutes, the nozzles fill with paint and dry up. In this case the machine needs to be taken apart and cleaned, before being used again. Finally, the spray goes everywhere, so proper preparation (ie. cover everything) is a MUST. However, once you get the hang of it, the machine covers very well - the paint is applied very evenly, very quickly, and it fills in all the cracks that a roller or brush take a long time to cover. Great for Swiss stucco walls.
Pro
- Great paint coverage
- Quick, once all the prep work is complete
Contra
- Relatively difficult to use
- Requires very good masking of all surfaces that you don't want painted.
