    Pros: For painting walls, not ceilings I would highly recommend this product.
    Cons: The hose the unit comes with is a very stiff.

    Summary: I Bought the PCP for a big job--3 room addition.  It took me 8 hours to roll on primer to 26 x 24 room plus hallway, ceilings included.  This is the same time I would have expected using Wagners Manual Paint rollers. Pros:  Rolls paint on ... read more

    Pros: performance for the price.
    Cons: Stiff hose. Buy an inline swivel. About $25, but worth it.

    Pros: Fast painting. Easy clean up. Lightweight. No clogging.
    Cons: Would love a bigger hopper. : )

    Pros: Lays down a finish like glass in unbelievably short order.
    Cons: Read the instructions for cleaning!

    Summary: Ok- it was a moment of weakness and my 15 yo son nudged me into it at Costco on Saturday. We were just starting to paint our four BR, two story house and I was intimidated. The house is a mixture of aluminum siding and whatever was used in 1971 before ... read more

    Pros: Sprays great when it works
    Cons: Doesn't work much of the time.

    Pros: Works great when it works
    Cons: Output valve prematurely fails

    Pros: Probably a good sprayer for the money if it would actually spray.
    Cons: Bad design makes the unit very idiosyncratic.

    Summary: I picked up my Paint Crew after fooling around with rollers trying to paint interior cinder block walls (basement job): Roller-painting cinder block walls was becoming a tough job, so I bought a Paint Crew to do a faster and nicer job. At first, the ... read more

    Pros: good output and coverage effectiveness. Power roller is nice touch!
    Cons: cleanup time; and no way to directly feed the paint out of a can.

    Summary: Got our on sale for about $150 with the free power paint roller. Goal was to paint the house. Used Sears Ultra paint, for reference. I was reeeal skeptical after trying the dive of a product small hand painter (toss it!). But when I got it primed up ... read more

    Pros: Fast, fast, fast. Simple to use.
    Cons: I think they could condense the instructions to make them easier to follow.

    Summary: I bought the Paint Crew 770 model because I had an old barn to paint, plus the store was offering a $50 rebate. It also included the power roller (which I have not tried out)and and extension cord. I've never used a sprayer before, but I figured ... read more

    Cons: Prone to fail at inopportune time. No local parts.

    Cons: Laborious and potentially shocking cleanups.

    Summary: I spent a lot of time researching and reading reviews on-line before deciding to purchase this unit. It seemed that for a pretty "serious" do-it-yourselfer, like myself, this was the ticket. Small, compact, easy to use with a built-in hopper. The ... read more

    Summary: Just to start I've shot airless before. I own a $2000.00+ unit and its just that. In comparison this shoots like a 4-5 hundred dollar unit. Cleanup is a pain at first but knowledge about these things is handy. It does stop alot for "unknown" reasons.

    Cons: Poorly designed product. Not reliable, Clean up very time consuming. Customer assistance a nightmare.

    Summary: After reading the other reviews I must conclude Wagner did a poor job in designing this product. I only got about 8 gallons of latex paint trough the machine before it quit. The unit would not pressurize properly and wouldn't deliver the paint. I took

    Pros: good sprayer when it works. I bought a handle extension which saves ladder time.
    Cons: Finicky, poorly designed, hard to clean, electric shock prone.

    Summary: Wagner tells me this equipment is good for 20 gals of paint then it needs an overhaul. Believe em! Get a supply of inlet and outlet valves, and o rings. Plan on getting messy, if the machine stops pumping, and it will, you'll be diving into the hopper
