MWQ Paint Sprayers

I was afraid this gun would be heavy, but it wasn't. I was afraid it was going to be a plasticky, cheap product. It was not. Worked as advertised.I didn't like that there's very little documentation shipped with the product. All the how-to videos are online @ Amazon in the same place you buy the product. Keep you phone handy.It was hard to tell from the chart online whether I needed to thin the stain; turns out I did not. But I couldn't figure out from the documentation online or included with the product how to determine whether you would need to thin paint. So look and that and make sure you understand that chart before you buy.The gun was easy to use and I had no issues. I sprayed stain on a 20'x20' deck with about 70 spindles. I used the gun for about 8 hours over 2 days. Worked great on the rail/spindles.It was a little harder to spray the deck surface, and I probably won't use it for that again. Next time I'll do the rail with gun and the deck surface with a brush. Too much bending over to do the desk surface and it was hard to get the boards equally sprayed. I had to go over a few places again. But this gun isn't made for such big projects, so I was okay with that.The cleaning video was good, but you have to be careful when you remove the spray jar and then the tube that moves the paint from the jar to the gun. Underneath the tube's big round disk is a little rubber item about the size and shape of a pencil eraser (the kind you add to a pencil when the original one wears out; the piece is white). Mine fell off during cleaning and I'm glad it didn't go down the drain. I just reinstalled it. Otherwise, I cleaned the gun 2x and it was easy.Regarding the battery usage, I found the battery ran out before I was out of stain, so when I changed batteries, I refilled the stain too. I'd make sure you have at least 2 batteries (I used Milwaukee) so you can keep going once the first battery runs out. I had a big job and 3 batteries, 2 chargers. Only twice did I run out of battery before another one was charged, but again, I was doing a big project.I noticed when the stain wasn't applying as thick as I wanted, it was because the battery was getting weak and time for a change.I compared several products and was glad I chose this one. I recommend this product.

Unit work good for the first coat of sealer on 300 foot fence . But totally failed after starting 2nd coat .

I purchased this to stain my fence.~700 linear feet. I can say that I’m not disappointed. Took about 4 hours and 10 gallons of stain. Had zero issues with the gun. The only thing noticed was the intermittent spray when the tank gets lower than 1/4 full. But they call that out in the instructions, so you can’t fault them. It takes an M18 battery without issue which is great because that’s my main tool line. Cleanup was easy, just washed the majority of it with dish soap and hot water. Only wiped down the main gun where the battery connects. It would be wonderful if they offered different tank sizes so that you don’t have to fill so often, but my assumption is that it’s so it doesn’t cause to much stress on the connection point where the front detaches from the rear.Value for money, ease of use

Skip this product. It died half-way thru the bedroom. It requires your paint to be thinned to the likeness of water. I waited a month before using the spray gun and now the warranty return period has passed. it just stopped working. I was not even warm to the touch. Waste of my time and money. The first Ryobi product I've ever experienced problems with. I should have bought it at Home Depot...better warranties and return policies.

I’m an amateur painter and this gun is awesome! Easy to use, paints nice on walls. Works great with ryobi batteries and last long. Easy to clean. Thinking of buying another one for back up.
