Magnum X7

Excellent sprayer for the money. This unit cut my job, 3600 sq feet of wood fence, by several hours and it’s easy to setup with the video instructions. Clean up is easy with water hose attachment but a little messy along with the transitions from empty 5 gallon bucket to the next, but you can prepare for that with towels. Also be sure to use a crescent wrench to tighten hose compression fittings to avoid leaks.

Easy to use easy to clean. It worked with Sherman Williams paint was the biggest deal to me.

Ok so I'm a professional painter, who is just starting out on his own. I bought one of these because there's just no way around not having a sprayer. I figured this should last a year or two and then if I'm doing well I can always upgrade to a professional grade sprayer. Not that this sprayer isn't great, it's just not rated for pro use. So it turns out that this sprayer is actually really good. It sprays latex real nice and heavy, and then of course 9 times out of 10 you go back and roll over it. There is no need for thinning down paints, I use sherwin williams for almost everything I do, though I have been known to use Conco brand paint from menards on cheap rental jobs where they literally just want you to slap paint down. They will not pay for good paint or even good work so you really just have to give them what they want at a reasonable price, but I digress. The only thing I dislike about this sprayer, is that the hook for the 5 gallon bucket, doesn't hold the bucket all the time. When the sprayer is just sitting flat and the bucket is there the handle on the bucket is too high to sit in the hook and so the bucket just sits on the ground. I imagine this is a design decision so that there isn't constantly 75lbs (or however much a 5 gal bucket of paint weighs) hanging from the sprayer at all times. But it's frustrating because that means any time you want to move you have to bend over and tilt the sprayer back and make sure the hook catches the bucket handle, then tilt it back more to pick up the bucket. It's just a pain. I'd much rather the bucket hung nonstop. Besides that little frustration, as well as the pain it is to clean up afterwards, this sprayer is fantastic. The cleanup isn't an issue with the sprayer either, it's just the normal 'ton' of paint everywhere that you have to clean. Overspray isn't as bad as I thought it would be to be honest. Though it will get anywhere, in the immediate spray area that isn't securely masked. You really have to make sure when you mask that your tape is on really well and that if you have paper or plastic that it isn't loose. This sprayer has some force so it will fling plastic and paper all over the place and rip it right off if the tape job wasn't done well. Besides that I guess the only other thing I would have asked for would have been a 50 foot hose instead of the 25ft that came with it. It's just not enough for exterior projects where you are two stories up on a ladder. I will just have to purchase a 50ft hose later, which isn't a big deal besides it being $50 for the hose. Lol, that's where they get you. As for my experience with this sprayer, I waited until I really put it through it's paces before giving this review. I've painted a few interiors and I'm on my third or fourth exterior with it now. Still with the same tip that came with the sprayer, same hose, etc. I tend to be anal about cleaning it, though you just cannot keep paint off of the hoses. It's just not possible. But cleaning everything as well as a I can I think this sprayer should last another year or so hopefully. I'm guessing I'll need a new tip or gun at some point and I will get the 50 ft hose in the next day or two because I'm painting a huge house right now so I just need it, but I hope this helps somebody.

Great product, speeding job!!

I originally was going to buy the X5 but splurged on the X7 for the cart, which carries a pretty big caveat that I'll explain but also comes with a bigger more capable motor. I used this sprayer to stain both sides of 150+ feet of 8F BoB cedar fence I built. 2 x 5 gallon buckets is all it took for 2 coats so there is definitely efficiency you gain with an airless sprayer. I did buy a 22" extension wand, which is cheaper at Lowes vs Amazon, and very glad I did because I would have been completely covered otherwise. Respirator with proper filters for paint goes without saying! Initial setup involves flushing either water or mineral spirits through to clean the hoses and motor via the prime function, 2 buckets (1 intake, 1 waste) and a LOT of mineral spirits if using oil based. Dunk the intake hose into the 5 gal stain bucket after stirring, prime and you're good to go. The machine is deceptively quiet while in spray mode which I didn't expect and thought something was wrong at first. Only when you're pulling the trigger does the machine make any noise (unless priming) and it's more of a stirring sound. I had no issues with clogging but the reversible nozzle makes it very easy to flush a blockage if it happens. Ok so the caveat on the cart... This cart only works to make your life easier rolling your sprayer + 5 gal bucket around your worksite IF your bucket is half full or less, otherwise it will make a mess spilling everywhere. Get too low and your intake tube will suck air and you'll have to prime again before you can resume spraying. I found it easier to just pick up the bucket with one hand and the sprayer cart with the other to move locations, pretty much defeating the purpose of the rolling cart. It does make for storing the hose and power cord easier but didn't quite provide the convenience I was expecting. The other thing to note is that the intake tube is very long and will touch the ground if not in a bucket. It looks like the X5 tucks the hoses better to avoid that. Clean up is messy but wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Hose everything down with water, flush the system out and run 2oz of Pump Armor through, which they provide with the sprayer BTW! No need to buy a separate bottle of the stuff, at first anyway. All in all very pleased with the results in lieu of the cart not really helping much. Very even spray that yielded a nice result for my project. I have a few hundred more feet of fence to stain and know it will be a good result. Pros: -Bigger higher throughput motor vs X5 -Nice even spray -Quiet operation -The materials feel premium and well made -Setup and cleanup are relatively easy Cons: -The cart will only roll your 5 gal bucket cleanly if half full, 1 gal should be fine -Intake tube is very long and will touch the ground if not in a bucket -

Item one - this is the first airless sprayer I have used (or owned) Item two - I had a week to paint the inside and outside of a house. (mission accomplished) Overall: This did the job with relative ease. The prep work is key (painted a few floors by accident until I taped everything down). Do watch the video if you are a new user. It does a great job of explaining how to set up and use this machine. I sprayed both interior latex and a stucco paint with little to no issues. I mixed the paints but did not run them through a strainer and rarely encountered any issues (which are easily fixed by reversing the spray tip and blowing it out). Generally clean up is easy if you have buckets and a garden hose. The machine itself is not that heavy so I didn't mind carrying it outside. And if you spray the discharge into the a bucket it doesn't make a big mess. Lessons Learned: **When spraying latex paint there is significant pressure (wind) that blows light drop cloths away from the area they are protecting. I found using the blue masking tape to fix edges prevented this from happening. **Between coats I had a handy bucket of water and dropped the spray head to submerge it in the water. Pick it up, let it drip for a few seconds. Reverse the tip and blow out any residue and I was ready to go for round two. I also did this for some overnights when I was spraying the same color over a lot of rooms. **There are times when the sprayer was the best way to go and others when a roller and brush were better suited for the job. Basically the two areas where the sprayer excelled was in covering a large room that is well masked and the second was painting the outside stucco were it met the grass/garden beds (a roller or brush just picks up dirt and it's all over). So for the big rooms I spent a couple of hours masking them and painting them in minutes. The smaller areas I could put down a few drop cloths and go paint. **This unit is ideal for 5 gallon paint buckets. I'd buy the paint and have them put it in the shaker. I'd take it home and open the little cap, drop in the strainer hose, and get painting. In the evening I could put some clear wrap around the hoses and mouth of the paint and leave it overnight (with the spray head in a bucket of water). **I had a bunch of plastic shopping bags. When I had to move the machine after painting (to a new room or for clean up) I'd put the strainer and primer tubes into a bag and loop the handles over the primer valve. This catches any drips during the move. **Get an old toothbrush for clean up. It really helps clean the small parts and screens. **Not so much as a tip but a confirmation. When I ordered the machine I considered getting more hose but I choose not to based on a review. I can confirm that the hose that comes with the machine reaches pretty far. Unless you're painting a three story high foyer, the hose will reach an entire room (18 ft x 12 ft with 9 foot ceilings) with ease when set up in the center. Sure I had to move it to paint the house, but I figured out a way to move the sprayer and a five gallon bucket (with the strainer hose in the paint) around the house. Conclusion: I was spraying heavy latex paints. Thus to get a good pattern I had the pressure setting up pretty high. The created a lot of over spray so if it wasn't masked, it got paint on it. (FYI there is a product that comes in a "wipes" form that does a good job removing dried paint). I like this sprayer and I think it was a good investment for me as I can share it with my brother for his house. It would be overkill unless you are intending to cover a lot of area. I also cannot offer any perspective on durability as I will only use this every few years or so. I don't know how it would hold up to regular use. A contractor friend of mine has a few of the pro models and he speaks very highly of them. Overall it is a great machine for my use. It really got easier to use with each additional room. I highly recommend it for a homeowner with a lot of area to paint.

J'ai réfléchi longtemps avant d'acheter ce pulvérisateur. Il était dans ma fourchette de prix supérieur. D'autres un peu moins cher me tentait aussi. Mais je me suis dit on en a toujours pour ce que l'on paye. Je ne regrette pas mon achat. J'ai peinturé environ 20 gallons. Je n'ai jamais eu de bouchons. J'ai peinturé un logement au complet sans aucuns problèmes. La finition de la peinture est incroyablement belle. Oui il y a quelques goutes qui tombent du pistolet mais rien de grave. Peut être 20 goutes de peinture dans une grande pièce, mais de toutes façon il est certain que vous devez protéger vos planchers. Le lavage du pulvérisateur est simple et facile (peinture latex) . Très satisfait de mon achat. N'oubliez pas que pour l'entreposage d'hiver vous devez utiliser un produit contre le gel. Sinon adieu beau pulvérisateur ....

Funciona de maravilla es muy rápido pintar,
