Sprayer
Takes a while to clean properly but the time tha it saves on a project is well worth it
professional results
I use this sprayer for applying varnishes to furniture. Before, I was making my furniture and either hand-varnishing it or taking it to a professional to spray it with their expensive rig. Hand varnishing is time-consuming, particularly when you are doing a chair with a lot of slats or some other job with a lot of fine detail.
So, for less than $100, this thing does everything that I was paying the professional for. Those chairs that would take me hours now only take 5-10 minutes. Big jobs go fast. A dining room tabletop is done in 10 minutes, and no brush lines. This sprayer saves hours of labor, and takes the monotony out of tedious, detailed jobs.
Expect a little learning curve. It helps to practice on something that you might screw up and have to re-do at first--like the bottom of the table before you try the top. You have to get a feel for the right volume setting; best to start out on the low side and turn it up slowly. Getting an even coat takes some practice, but is surprisingly not so difficult. My experience is that by the time the varnish dries, it looks remarkably even. What I have learned using this tool: 1)Don't try to put on a thick coat. Go for two thin coats; this avoids runs. 2) Use a mask. 3) Thin your varnish appropriately. If it's not well-thinned, it can create a real mess. 4) Spray an area completely before moving on. 5) Keep your equipment COMPLETELY clean. It's not hard to clean, but if you leave a little varnish in it, you may end up with a lump splattering out on your next job, or a clogged nozzle. 6) When cleaning, do NOT leave the parts to soak in paint thinner. Some of the plastic parts will swell over time, and won't fit properly if you do this (which I found out the hard way). Ten minutes soaking won't ruin anything but a few days will have an effect. 7) Work in a well-lit area. This essential to getting an even coat, as you can see the glare of the light off of your varnish job.
You also need to put in some thought as to where you are going to use this. My pro varnisher has his own ventilated varnishing room. Remember, this thing is putting out a mist. You can't just whip out a piece in your living room and spray it. You need to work in an area where you won't mind a little mist sticking around, like your garage perhaps. And you don't need bugs flying onto your wet varnish either. Therefore, you don't want to use it out on your front lawn, unless you can screen in an area away from the bugs and wind. I use a Coleman Geodome enclosure on my driveway, and hang a mosquito net around the openings. Works for me.
One other important thing: use it ONLY with varnishes that have specific instructions for sprayers. My first experience was using this with a fast-drying floor varnish that was meant to be applied with a brush or mop. The end result was that as it blew out of this sprayer, it got mixed with the air and dried before it could level, creating a mess for me to sand off. I've had exceptional success using this sprayer on two-part epoxy varnishes which are meant to be sprayed on.
Those caveats in mind, this little baby is capable of very professional results, much better than brushing. It's a real time-saver too. Hey, you are going to have a learning curve with ANY fine varnish sprayer, but in my opinion, it's worth it in the long run.
Awesome Value for Money.....
As a hobby I like to work with wood and finish my own pieces. Recently I had to finish a piece which had many different type of woods and thus had to tone it using an HVLP sprayer. I came across this Wagner sprayer at local Lowes and though I will give it a try.....
Pros:
+ Professional results at a fraction of cost
+ Can spray lot of different type of liquids
+ Great results with shellac, water based dyes, toner (shellac+dye), poly and varnish
+ Sprays evenly
+ Fluid volume during spray can be controlled easily at the gun itself
+ Different spray patterns can be obtained easily [oval (horizontal+vertical, oval]
+ Small sized, takes as much space as a vacuum cleaner
+ Quiet operation, less nosier than a medium sized vacuum
+ Very long hose allows you to move freely without pulling the turbine
+ Easy cleanup (spray with appropriate cleaning solvent(2-5 sec), soak, rinse)
+ Spare parts (nozzle, seals, cups) are available easily at local hardware stores and are cheap.
+ Competitively Priced

Cons:
- Spray gun is all plastic, will not last really long (no complains at this price thou and also spares are easily available and cheap)
- Can not atomize (spray) heavier fluids like some fast drying varnish, you will need to thin such fluids with appropriate solvent to an acceptable viscosity level (a viscosity measuring cup is provided with this unit).....this is not really a disadvantage but a nuisance.
Expect some learning curve (if you have not sprayed earlier like me) on handling spray patterns, speed, distance from piece and volume being sprayed.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this spray system and highly recommend it for small to medium size jobs for DIYs.
I am going to try Latex paint over some walls in my home with in next few weeks and will update this review on how well this system managed a latex paint.
Update:
I tried spraying Latex (without thinning) with this sprayer but the paint (Behr) will never atomize accurately for an even spray. I had to thin the paint by almost a third (with water) to get an even pattern with nice atomization. Since diluting Behr paint by third is not recommended I decided not to use this sprayer for latex.
Overall, the verdict is still the same, this sprayer works well for all the liquids advertised on the box (latex is not mentioned) and if can thin your latex paint to required viscosity you can expect good results with latex too.
