 Thin outdoor latex for best results (well for any results) July 5, 2008
Just reading the box on this item warned me... thin out your latex paint. I bought both it and a bottle of latex paint thinner.
At first I followed all the directions, and tried the outdoor latex primer at original thickness (don't do this). Having never used one of these, always using a brush and roller, I was surprised when the thing jammed up on me in the first three minutes. The paint was too thick.
After cleaning, and thinning the paint, the sprayer worked great. I was able to cover an outdoor shop with MUCH LESS PAINT than roller or brush.
The CLEANUP WAS SO FAST with this, I couldn't believe it. I just hooked up the waterhose to the provided attachment, put all the parts in the canister and let it rip. It took longer than the prescribed 30 seconds, but they were very clean; only minimal brushing was required. I only wish that all the parts could have been cleaned that way.
All in all, this was great. I learned how to use the tool quickly using the clearly written instructions. The troubleshooting guide quickly got me past the paint-too-thick problem, and cleanup was a breeze.
There is overspray on speed 2, and the nozzle drips after about 10 minutes of use, so good taping and tarping is needed.
(the other post is right; this thing is quiter than my drill, circular saw, and even my mouse sander!). It's not quiet, just not extremely loud.
 TOTAL JUNK May 31, 2008
TOTAL JUNK
This airless sprayer would keep going into some kind of vapor lock.
Sprayer would start spraying paint for 5 to 10 seconds then vapor lock. Release the trigger to turn off for 5 seconds and the repeat the process. Multiple cleanings and oiling, did not fix the problem. Thinning the paint did not fix the problem.
This thing just does not work. I should have read the reviews here first. A lot of other people seem to have the same problem
I gave this product 1 star because there isn't a negative start rating......
AND OF COURSE, Wagners' tech support line is closed on the weekend. WHEN DID THEY THINK PEOPLE WOULD BE USING THESE PIECES OF JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of the reviewer's problems can be resolved by straining the paint
and using the large tip for latex paints. I have been using Wagner sprayers for more than twenty years with great results. You do have to learn to tell when a part is worn out. Most parts that wear quickly are also cheap to buy. You want to have a replacement plunger and tips handy
so when performance starts to deteriorate you can pop in the new atomizer
or tip and get back to it. You will need to have a brush handy when you
get the occasional spatter. Also, for larger jobs use the extension hose kit to draw directly from the can of paint. Here is a great tip, keep the can of paint elevated so it is close to the height of the gun while you spray. This will make it easier for the gun to draw. You will find that
when you draw from the can the angle of the gun can be infinite. So spraying ceilings or walls is a breeze. No I do not work for Wagner. I do
own their Wagner 1/2 HP Twin Stroke Piston Pump Paint Sprayer #9140S and
several of the vibrating guns. I use the cheap vibrating (such as the wide
shot)guns for small jobs, hint I don't use the wide shot tip (fan tip).I have purchased many of these products and accessories from Amazon because
of fast service, good prices and the A-Z plan. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

I hate this sprayer! I bought mine to spray primer on dark painted surfaces and it couldn't handle it at all. After struggling all day with this disappointing machine I cleaned it up and and took it back. I'm glad it's out of my life. Rollers and brushes are easier.
Junk Does Not Sufficiently Describe How Bad This Is December 26, 2007

I own a Wagner SprayTech Twinstroke 9140, which is an excellent machine. I paint mostly with Latex, like most people do. But the SprayTech is a b***h to clean and is better suited for large jobs. So I thought I'd pick up a little guy like the power painter for small jobs like a few pieces of custom window trim or in this case a replacement stair skirt. Boy, what a mistake. First off, you can't paint on horizontal surfaces, so I had to get an adapter, a ninety degree bend that leaked all over the place. Second, no where in the literature did it say it wouldn't handle Latex; in fact it says it will and if the paint isn't coming out in a nice pattern then just thin it out. Well in order to get an even pattern I wound up thinning the paint so thin that it barely covered the wood, and even then there were drips everywhere. I never did get an even pattern out of it, notwithstanding the drips from the leaks.
What a waste of time and money. I'm taking it back just as soon as I finish writing this to warn people of the mistake, and drinking a beer to calm me down so I don't scream at the Home Depot clerk. I'll take cleaning my SprayTech any day over ruining my work with this junk.
