- I've recently done some painting with a Wagner. It is fast laying paint on
- flat surfaces, both ceilings and walls. The last 10x12 room I painted took
- about 30 minutes (for one coat) to put on the major portion of the paint.
- You still have to go back and edge the trim, door, windows, etc.
-
- Saving all that time isn't entirely free...you have to clean the entire unit
- before you put it away...the pump, check valves, tubing, handle, roller,
- roller internals. I honestly spent more time cleaning the unit than
- painting.
-
- Would I buy it again? Sure. It's much easier to clean the unit than to go
- through with conventional rollers and paintbrushes.
-
- Have a happy Christmas.
