2 completely different machines, for 2 completely different jobs. The big Graco ( airless ) is used for production, larger projects, like walls, ceilings, exterior stucco, and so on, those machines run at around 1500-2000 psi. The small HVLP ( high volume low pressure ) is used for small projects, such as cabinets, doors, trims. You can't compare 2 different products and expect the same results.

I would buy it because I am not a house flipper. Plus I don't have an extra $500 or the space to have an appliance like that sitting around in my basement for when I want to paint a room every couple of years. It was pretty evident from the start of the video what you thought. I am happy with my $40 "cheap version" sprayer. It does what I need it to do.

Guys I love you but you have to learn how to use that buendio. It is an awesome gun. The reason it plugged on you is because you have to mix your paint with some water. I was able to finish a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom house in a less than 2 days with that gun.

Son dos sistemas completamente distintos. Uno de ellos es sistema airless que consiste en presurizar la pintura para conseguir la atomización. El otro aparato es un sistema similar a la pistola de compresor, que atomiza con aire y aspira la pintura por efecto venturi.
No son comparables.

18" rollers are great. Those small sprayers are great for small projects, and finer finishes, not full sized rooms.

Gotta say I have my Buendio and its an amazing. Does what I need and it a good sprayer. A professional sprayer like that will come in handy for people that are doing renovation work consistently or flipping homes.

HVLP has its uses. It provides a very smooth finish where it's needed.
it's not for drywall. Better to use a roller than cheap hvlp for drywall.

You should have kept the HVLP sprayer for when you need to spray cabinets. The airless sprayer would have too much orange peel in that case.

I'm interested in the small one to paint tool boxes. Going to check if it can spray oil based enamel.

If you’re painting the whole house then rent the expensive one. If you’re doing one room then use the cheap one. I painted one room under 40 min using a cheap sprayer.

Graco Magnum 2800 with stand is only $268 at the Big Box Stores and works awesome and is affordable, do not waste your time on Wagner or others, spend a little now and save a lot later. I just finished our remodel of our Master Bedroom and Bath spent a total of 3 hours start to finish

Are the filters in the window really necessary? What are you trying to protect? Surely you've sprayed something outside before, right?

[stevecrawford]

Try inkwell on the ceiling, gossameir veil on the walls and snowbound trim.. amazing color combo

[whoeverwhoever]

Can sprayer use any kind of spray, latex, oil, acrylic and etc?

[vboutique]

Is the only benefit to spraying speed? Does the quality match just rolling on?

[tommyboi]

I told my lady the exact thing you guys concluded. Good luck trying to convince her. She has like 3 of those sprayes, various sizes. Cumbersome, slow, uneven consistency. It's a no for me. She took 2 days, spraying a relatively small space while I rolled the same size space in 20 to 40 minutes tops.

Can that lil paint sprayer work on a mobile home? 900-950 sq ft? Thanks In advance

[vicjar]

If you after priming have to paint 2 more top coats, and using only brush and roler, i believe cover all and spray 3 times in total is much faster then paint with roller

[mrsV]

Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep my roller

[comemetaldetectwithme]

I got my sprayer from home depot and it was around 250 and I love it!
