AOBEN Paint Sprayer, 550 Watt High Power HVLP Spray Gun, with 3 Spray Patterns, 4 Nozzle Sizes, Adjustable Valve Knob, Easy-to-Use Electric Paint Gun for Home with a Mask

No doubt that this is probably the same as many other models of imported sprayers here on amazon, just branded differently - you can likely apply this review to other similar sprayers as well. Anyways, as the headline reads - dollar for dollar it's been one of my best shop investments. I have other tools that are certainly 'nicer' but when it comes to the amount of money spent on this vs time saved/quality of work, it's hard to beat. The sprayer is easy to clean and it's not hard to get professional-looking results as long as you take some time to prep well. I am not sure how well it is explained in the manual, but the two biggest factors in getting a good result are: 1. Make sure you are thinning properly. If I'm remembering correctly I think it said thin to 45-60 seconds to flow through the included funnel. I have found that you'll want to aim on the low side of that estimate. I thin to 45 seconds flow at most, maybe even a touch thinner than that, like 40s or so. Of course, this will slightly change your paint color, so keep that in mind. You may need to lay on more coats, too, but I've found that two or three thin coats provides a much better result than one or two thicker coats. 2. Always, always, always strain/filter the paint! No matter how new it is or how 'clean' it seems - run it through a filter before putting it in the sprayer. You can get a pack of 50 filters here on Amazon for like 6 bucks. This is the most immediately noticeable change you can make. Even if it's thinned properly - even brand new paint will give you sputters and 'glops' if you don't filter it first. Conversely, well-thinned and properly-filtered paint will go on as smooth as you'd like. I am using the product mostly for furniture and cabinetry. I have painted a kitchen's worth of cabinets as well as some other household furniture (tables, desks, etc) and haven't ran into any problems thus far if the aforementioned prep steps are taken. I am sure for bigger jobs there are better options, but for my work it's been a real life saver. No more brush strokes or roller marks, no high spots or uneven areas, just great results. And frankly the sprayer's cheap enough that I can treat it as semi-disposable. For the price of a higher-end 'name brand' sprayer I could likely buy a half-dozen of these. I recommend!

Did want to risk getting electrical shocks again with the old Wagner so needed a replacement sprayer for an upcoming deck staining project. Looked at all of the options on Amazon and this one stood out because the high number of spray tips and being made out of a better, longer lasting, metal material. Not plastic like the Wagner. This also includes a size 3.0 spray tip that says it will do latex paints. I haven't tried spraying latex yet but it did work great for deck stain. I'll update this review later but so far so good. Just wish that it came with a larger cup hence the missing star. Also, if you're wondering , no, the Wagner cup does not fit this Aoben sprayer. Plastic bag only had one needle in it, wasn't taped shut, so thought I was missing needles. No phone support. Only support is through Amazon messaging. I contacted the seller about missing parts and got a quick reply stating that a package was on it way. Kudos for great customer service. Eventually found the missing needles wedged in the folds of the cardboard box. Update: Was quickly shipped a completely new unit in exchange for the first unit that we thought had missing parts. Now it seems that the first unit was a returned unit because the ziplock was cut off allowing the needles to spill out.

If you use this as you do any other sprayer and don't clean it out after you done it's your fault if it doesn't work. It shuts off if it gets to hot takes about 20 mins to cool down. Used on huge permiter fence, and while house in 2 weeks time plus friend borrowed it. You will need filters and your own container to mix thinner and paint but great deal over all.

Light-weight. That's all I can review. Sprayer did not suck up the paint all the way up the straw and into the sprayer head as seen in the photo. It just worked continuously for 2-4 minutes just spraying air. I gave up after the motor felt it was heating after under 4 minutes of use. Checked and read the users manual to see if I am doing something wrong and nothing was out of place. May be I got a defective one.

On unpacking the spraygun, the first impression is that the product is well made. Comforted by this, I ferreted for the instructions to establish how this would diminish my painting blues - I was trying to finish staining a fence, and the manual effort was proving excessive. The skimpy booklet giving details of how to use and maintain the equipment is woefully inadequate. There is no mention of how best to select the appropriate nozzle for the type of paint being sprayed, or how to achieve the desired finish. Terse instructions cover viscosity measurement and basic spraying technique, but little else. This is an appalling effort. I do understand that manufacturers of any product cannot assume a computer is accessible to all users, but if ever an application screamed for a supplementary explanatory video posted to the web, it is this. A picture is worth a thousand words - remember? In the finish, I bumbled through the set-up, and completed the fence painting. Using the gun proved easy after a little trial and error experimentation, and my end results were entirely to my satisfaction. I would say that the paint reservoir at 800ml is far too small. I caution users of ANY spraying equipment to be mindful of overspray, and that even a gently wind can carry the unintended consequence of changing the hue of your neighbor's car . . . .!

I was surprised at how easy it was to clean after use. I have only used it once but it worked perfectly for the job. It laid down a nice layer of paint on a door I replaced on our home. The nice thing is I didn't need an air compressor to get the job done. This sprayer is the right tool for small jobs and I recommend it highly.
