Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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

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.
