Wagner 515010 Paint Crew Plus Paint Sprayer Review

I didn't need it for spraying, but for rolling, and it worked great for that. I was priming my newly scraped and textured ceilings, which were really sucking up paint, and it was taking forever. I wanted something that would deliver paint to my roller without me having to return to the tray for more paint. I debated whether to get a low end professional machine or a high end Wagner and I ultimately ended up with this...half the price.
I hesitated because of the Wagner Paint Crew...non plus version. Reports of needing lots of paint in the hopper to work properly, long cleanup procedure, and reliability issues. I figured that this unit addressed the problem of needing lots of paint in the hopper by the new design; which it did (it was pretty much down to the bottom before it sucked in air). And then I figured that those who didn't complain about the reliability were complaining about the clean up. In other words, those who didn't clean, had issues on the subsequent use.
As far as clean up goes, it went well. Yes it takes awhile, but not more than expected. You need to be able to follow directions; at least the first time. After getting used to the machine, everything seemed to make sense. Just be prepared to read the instructions...for both setup and cleaning.
What could use improvement? Well, my roller attachment that came with the unit was a bit out of round. It was a little bit bulged in the middle, which made putting the paint down a little more difficult. Many people also complained about needing a swivel attachment on the gun handle. I took their word for it and bought one just to be on the safe side; and yes, it is a must have (~$25).
Last thoughts/summary.
-Read manual
-Spend time to cleanup.
-I didn't use the spray nozzle...just the roller.
-Good for large area. Small area isn't worth the clean-up time.
-Would highly recommend

The Wagner Paint Crew Plus Paint Sprayer applies a variety of paints, primers, stains, and sealers, including both thin- and thick-bodies materials. This piston pump sprayer delivers the professional performance, versatility, and spray pattern of contractor units at a fraction of the cost. Whether you are waterproofing your deck, painting your fence, or priming your garage, the Paint Crew Plus provides simple, trouble-free operation and cleanup. The Paint Crew Plus fits most standard accessories and comes complete with hose, removable hopper, tip, and metal spray gun.
Features include the unit's piston-pump technology, which helps maintain a consistent flow of paint. View larger.On-Demand Piston Pump Technology Maintains PressureThe Wagner Paint Crew Plus's 0.5-horsepower motor provides plenty of power for quickly delivering spray from the unit's innovative piston-pump delivery system. The on-demand piston-pump technology provides 2,8000-psi (193-bar) to maintain a consistent, even flow of paint for professional-looking results. And the precision-machined pump components mean you get the highest-quality parts where you need them most.
Crew Control Pressure Selector Simplifies Operation from Startup to CleanupThe Paint Crew Plus system features Wagner's Crew Control dial, which makes it easy to select the perfect spray pressure for the job, anything between 1,000 and 2,800 psi. The selector is great for when applying materials of varying consistencies, such as wood stain--which is thin--and latex paint--which is thick and requires greater air pressure.
The Crew Control dial also has settings for system cleanup and priming and for using optional accessories (not included).
2.5-Gallon Removable Hopper Increases Spray Time and ConvenienceWhether you're painting the entire exterior of your house or touching up the stain on your favorite rocking chair, the Wagner Paint Crew Plus is the ideal tool for the job. The high-capacity, 2.5-gallon hopper is capable of handling big projects without having to be constantly refilled, saving you both time and effort. And because it's removable, cleaning the hopper is a snap.
Professional-Grade Spray Gun with Reversible Tip Delivers a Great FinishThe Paint Crew Plus's professional-grade spray gun controls material flow to your project surface. The gun has a forged aluminum body for maximum durability and features a full-sized in-line filter that accepts standard G-thread (7/8-inch) accessories.
The gun also features a reversible 0.015-inch spray tip that creates the spray pattern and can be used either horizontally or vertically. Because it's reversible, clearing clogs from the tip is as easy as turning it 180 degrees with a twist of you wrist. An added bonus, a tip holder is built into the gun for total convenience.
The Paint Crew Plus spray gun fits standard accessories such as tip and pole extensions and high pressure rollers (not included).
Designed for Versatility and ConvenienceThe Wagner Paint Crew Plus is a versatile system that does more than just paint houses. It can also handle stains, primers, preservatives, and other nonabrasive materials, so you can stain your deck or wood fence, apply primer before painting furniture, or coat your outdoor furniture with long-lasting preservatives. Add a paint roller accessory (not included) and turn your Paint Crew Plus into a professional-grade rolling tool for interior painting. With this versatile tool, you can also apply pesticides and liquid fertilizers to your lawn and garden.
The Wagner Paint Crew Plus features a lightweight design, telescoping handle, and durable wheels for easy maneuvering and transporting. Centrally located controls simplify operation from startup to cleanup, and a 25-foot high-pressure hose makes it easy for you to tackle multi-storey projects. Just wrap the hose over the built-in hook to keep your system neat and compact when not in use.
The Wagner Paint Crew Plus is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Accubrush XT Deluxe Kit with FREE MX Edger Review

Accubrush XT Deluxe Kit with FREE MX Edger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had a decent amount of success with the Accubrush. It doesn't take long to learn how to use it, but it IS important you spend time learning how it works and practicing with it a few times.
You've likely seen the videos the company has demonstrating the product:
1) It does around windows amazingly well leaving a perfect line - and fast!
2) It does around doors and trimming in the ceiling pretty well. The only draw back to doors and ceilings is that the entire brush must pass over an area to draw it's edge, which simply wont work in ceiling corners or where the door trim meets the floor. This leaves a gap of about 10 inches in each of those spots where you will have to trim in by hand; though I rather only trim in those spots and not the whole area.
Note: The brush has an adjustable setting that dictates how far out the line is to be made, and you will need to extend it to trim ceilings. So again, learn the product before using!
Pros:
1) Very straight line in a very short amount of time.
2) The trimmed area has the textured roller effect instead of the directional line effect achieved with a regular brush.
3) Ease to clean.
Cons:
1) Still leaves manual trimming in ceiling corners and at the bottom of doors.
2) Will not work against baseboard - wood is too thin.
3) The plastic latch that secures the handle to the device for handhold use, versus on a pole, is too flexible and often pops open when rolling by hand. - Very annoying, I'd like to see the company fix this to make it 100% solid.
4)There is a "floating metal square" on the plastic guard that helps control the paint. When trimming ceilings the metal square rubs against the ceiling and leaves a gray/black mark on the ceiling. I solved the problem by cutting a square of painters tape the same size as the metal and carefully covering it up. The metal must still move/float, so it's critical to have the tape cover only the metal. I would like to see the company coat the metal in plastic or something that wont rub off.
In conclusion:
I, like you, have wasted more money on other edgers and trimmers in my life time. This one performs the best of them all and gives you a hand drawn line with less effort. Buy it, but just realize it's JUST an edging tool to give you a leg up... it wont remove all of the effort out of painting a room!

It contains everything you need to get started and to paint an entire house (or more!)
