Wagner 0529085 FLEXiO 3000 HVLP Paint Sprayer

Have always been skeptical about these sprayer units and stuff with various roller types.Had some outdoor projects that I needed to take care of, so I decided to give this thing a shot.I am happy to say it is exactly as advertised and worked amazingly well on the first project I tried it out on. Needed to paint a few areas of fence that were exposed after removing a deck. Set up and assembly is ridiculously easy. Unit worked like a charm. So well I ended up repainting the whole fence in the areas I had to touch up. I didn't have enough paint or I may have done a large portion of the fence (which could use a new coat.). Figure now I can do the entire fence, which is pretty long, once I have the paint in and hour or two. Had zero issues with paint clogging or the nozzle get gummed up, though I had a rag and wiped it a few times as instructed.Little hard to tell how much Overspray was produced, since I was outside, but I didn't notice any significant amount on me, my hat or my shirt. So it doesn't seem like much even set at the highest output. Will have to play around with it more before I would be comfortable using it inside.Clean up was as advertised. Simple disassembly, with no tools needed and wash in the sink. Easier than a roller.Very happy with the purchase!

Update:: I still LOVE this sprayer.. I have used it for walls, floors and cabinets.. I did put some pics up, but honestly there is nothing to see.. except it is WHITE! Lol.. The one thing I can say is purchase extra filters!!!! I thought it would be powder on the filters but it was paint and had to be changed after a couple of uses.. then had to wait for delivery because I couldn’t use the spray gun.. without the filter, at least I didn’t use it without a filter.. but still the best and saves sooo much time!!!Original post:So we purchased this after reading reviews and me no longer wanting to hand paint our new cabinets! I hand painted one and sprayed the other.. I spent 2 days painting one section by hand.. and 5 mins with this sprayer! It goes on smooth, dries well and looks like it was professionally painted!! Now the thickness of the paint is a factor. I used Behr and Glidden paints with NO PROBLEM, not having to thin the paint at all.. I keep the setting in number 12 for thickness and use max power for everything…I’m BEYOND impressed with the ease of this sprayer! Now for the clean up.. once I learned how to remove and take apart everything it did get faster with each time I have disassembled the spray gun…. I still have not met the 5 min clean up, more like 15-20 mins depending on if the paint is dried on the outside of the gun and how much elbow grease is needed…it does come with a small spiral brush to cleanse the smaller areas, but a large one suffices so much better… I had to get a larger scrub brush to clean the over spray on the gun itself.. if your OCD like me… if you aren’t OCD then you should meet the 5 min clean up… I have used this gun on walls and now my cabinets! Wished I would have bought this earlier!!! I will submit pics when I get them!!

Love it. Bought it at Menards for $129.99. It does a great job. Clean up is not 5 minuets as the instructions and cardboard box says. It does take a fair amount of time to clean up (I like my tools clean and ready for next time). You must clean out the air holes, including the one on the material intake (it’s difficult to find, but it’s there, near the top), if you don’t it won’t work. It uses far less paint than brushing. All in all I would definitely purchase it again!

This was one of my best purchases. Super easy to use fast doesn’t have a Lotta overspray just a real incredible machine for around the house.

Tried of using the rollers to stain my fence, so decided this year to get a sprayer. Read the reviews and the Wagner Flexio 2000/3000 had this best reviews. Didn't expect to pay as much as I did at first, but after using it this past week-end, this little jewel saved me more time than money. Glad I invested in it, can't go wrong. No more rollers for me.

i purchased the sprayer at a local store to paint a 10x10 outdoor shed with Sherwin Williams latex. The job got done fairly quickly. I think i spent more time reading/watching instructions than actual painting. Here’s what I didn’t like.1. The speckled finish was fine for rough cedar but probably not for finer work. I tweaked settings and finally eliminated most of the splatter but still had an orange peel finish. I didn’t try the smaller nozzle.2. I had to strain the paint - even high quality new latex paint.3. I had to thin older latex (but not the new stuff).4. The unit is heavy. You have to use two hands which makes it harder to do smooth sweeping strokes.5. The biggest problem was the tendency of paint to flow back into rhe turbine when painting tall vertical surfaces.6. You cannot clean the unit in five minutes. Twenty or thirty minutes is more realistic.7. To avoid splatter i had to give the sprayer a cursory cleaning with every paint fill.8. The sprayer is very apt to tip over if you set it on a level surface.I really wanted the 890 with the turbine in the base, but it wasn’t in stock. That might have helped with weight, cleaning, and backflow.

Easy to use, can clean in 5 or ten minutes which is well worth the time you save with painting projects.

It’s super easy to use and with fusion paint you don’t need to thin!
