Depends on what you expect to do with it. I would not expect to do too much with that just above homeowner market renamed wagner spray outfit, but if you need it here and there it can be used for its purpose. Price wise for new in box is a good sale price. What can you expect is that is can replace the wages of a so so painter when it comes to volume.

Good deal for that sprayer
Of course, that sprayer is designed built and sold for DIYers doing one big project, but want TO BUY something that looks "Pro"
The target market is customers who really should be renting a Pro Rig, but they would rather BUY a new toy
It is seriously de-spec'd to get the price down to "a few days rent" on a pro rig

I would put the 200 beans in the piggy bank and put it towards a real sprayer

Re: Good Deal?


I have five different sprayers. A big old gas unit, a big spraytech, and three little pumps I bought long ago. Believe it or not, i still use some of those really little pumps for small jobs. I am repainting an apartment tonight and plan to use the little one. Easy to lug around. Obviously it depends on what you are doing. However, at that price if you get a few uses out of it, you have got your money's worth.
