One of the easiest tools I've ever used!
I used the Flexio 890 sprayer to stain our dock. Using the detail finish nozzle gave it a nice, clean coat over wood with lots of cracks and spaces between boards. The finished project turned out very nice and took me less than an hour. Staining with a brush would have been 2-3 hours in the sun. Assembly was easy. The sprayer was lightweight with an easy grip. Refilling the canister was accomplished without spilling and clean-up was slick! Minimum waste of paint. I really like the integrated storage case, all parts neatly stored in a compact case. Can't wait for my next project!

Can't handle thick oil-based enamel paint
Experienced DIY'er, first time with a spray painting system. Bought this yesterday to save time painting some furniture and re-painting many doors using an oil-based semi-gloss enamel paint (Behr int/ext). Set it up, followed all directions and recommendations and it only throws chunks of paint onto the surface, making a gross orange-peel finish that needs to be hand-smoothed using a brush. Unless this problem can be solved, this product is worthless to me. After a very un-satisfying experience with the performance of the product, it took almost an hour to clear the gunk out of all the parts. What's to like?

    Motor burnt out first use
    We brought the Wagner Flexio 890 after extensive review and it looked to be the right product for the job we had: painting a work shop walls and roof. Unfortunately a quarter of the way through the job there was a change in the engine noise and then a burning smell. Left high and dry. Very very disappointed.

    Very valuable tool
    I purchased this to paint some 100 year old doors that had so many brush strokes from previous applications that the doors looked terrible. I sanded the old finish smooth with 120 grit sandpaper and then cleaned with a damp cloth. I sprayed the doors with a semi-gloss latex paint and was absolutely stunned by what I accomplished in about 10 minutes. I did apply a second coat but the doors looked almost new and yet all the original hardware still fit and so we can tell they are old doors. I have since used the tool to paint kitchen cabinets and furniture. You will not be disappointed. Clean up takes a little longer than they say it will but I found that starting with a clean tool means cleaning up properly when done. Don't shortcut the process. I have used the product for over one year without any issues.

    Great homeowner's tool!
    Opened it up, set it to recommended settings for my latex primer/paint, and had fun painting my house. All four times it misbehaved were user error. The first was severe drooling and glob-spitting because I didn't realize the black keeper ring came a bit loose when I changed my spray pattern. That ring needs to stay as tight as it goes; I don't think you can overtighten it by hand. Second time, I failed to unscrew the container before taking off the black keeper ring, and air pressure made it barf paint. Third time was glob-spitting, and I was stumped for a while; I thought I had done everything by the book. Figured out the teeny air valve had water in it from the last washing; when dried, worked perfectly again. Fourth time, same spitting, but because the little air hole in the top of the suction tube got paint on it-- I had knocked over the sprayer's container after adding paint. I detail those because the short trouble-shooting section in the booklet didn't give the last two as "how to fix" options. Some reviews said they took the nozzle apart and soaked it if they took a break, but you don't need to. The air channel and paint channel are separate, so leave the nozzle all together and the paint won't dry anywhere but the exposed tip of the nozzle, which is super easy to wipe clean even when the paint is dry on it; the plastic resists paint cling. My one gripe is mild: so that the larger material container can hold as much as it does, it has a rim angle that means it has to be turned absolutely upside-down when pouring paint out. There was always at least a quarter inch left in the bottom that the suction tube couldn't get. I am a female with size 8 hands and can barely hold the bottom of the material container with one hand, so the whole paint-retrieval process is slightly annoying. As for cleaning, I tried the recommended process of spraying water through before taking apart the nozzle, but prefered to just take it to the sink instead; the latex paint needs more than a rinse to come off because it's so thick. I carried this rig in pieces up and down a two-story scaffold many times, slightly awkward but very doable. The reach of the hose isn't great if you're using this on a ladder, but any longer and it would get annoying to deal with; it is fairly stiff. I appreciated that I could turn the compressor on and off from the hand unit. The switch is on both sides of the handle, so it's easy to toggle no matter which hand it's in. The compressor's just quiet enough that I didn't need hearing protection (outdoors), and I am sound sensitive. I'm glad I went for a model with the separate, ground-based turbine, and glad it has its own handled case. And yes, the spray gun holder on that handle is helpful, especially if you are working on uneven ground where the hand unit would fall over by itself. Thank you, Wagner people, for making this handy little machine!

    Ease of use makes this a must have for all DIYers
    My husband and I own a small boutique that specializes in Repurposing old furniture. I bought my Flexio 890 last summer and since that time have used it to paint over 250 pieces of furniture. Prior to that I was painting all of our pieces with a brush. This product has been a lifesaver and a huge Timesaver. It also gives an incredibly perfect finish to our pieces that could not be achieved with a brush. The biggest compliment from our clientele is that the pieces we do have such a perfect finish...no brushstrokes...no drips. I was a bit reluctant at first, to use the sprayer thinking there would be paint everywhere. The paint gets on the piece but there is almost no overspray. I was also concerned that after a few uses, it would clog up and that the clean up would take more time than painting with a sprayer would be worth. Not true. The cleanup is very easy and after 250 pieces, it still works perfect every time. I use mine almost everyday and I don't know now how I ever lived without it. No classes required. Fill it with paint and get to work. Your first piece will look like it was painted by a pro.

    Lifesaver!!
    I recently used the Flexio 890 to paint my 1950's interior walls and was blown away by how fast and effective this tool is. It is quiet and works with ease. It is easy to set up and cleanup. The Flexio 890 has been a lifesaver. I really do not like to paint, but with this by my side I feel like I don't have to spend a whole day doing something I do not enjoy. This is a must buy if you paint a lot! So worth it!

    So many great features and easy to use
    I love the fact that I have 2 different nozzles with this paint sprayer. I started out with a small project to get a feel for the sprayer and used the detail finish nozzle. It gave a nice, clean coat to the chair and there were a lot of little nooks and crannies. I also really love how I'm not wasting as much paint, and saving myself a ton of time. It's got an easy grip and I really like how there are a lot of safety features to keep paint from spilling. Nice detail of being able to put the handle of the sprayer on the handle of the case. I feel like I can tackle some bigger projects that I would otherwise have hired out to do. My biggest piece of advice is to make sure you do a thorough cleaning when you're done. It's about 15 minutes, but it will make the 2nd use a breeze since you already know what you're doing. Disclaimer: I was provided a sample for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

    Best home sprayer yet
    I have owned and operated many sprayers but this unit really lived up to my expectations. I used the small spray head to apply a Shellac finish inside 5 of my new cabinets and 10 drawers. It went very well. I then used the larger sprayer to apply a latex paint to the outside of the 5 cabinets, their 10 doors and 10 drawer fronts. Two coats were enough to compete the job. I would suggest that anyone thinking of spraying a latex paint to thin it with Flood's Floetrol. Thin the paint in increments so as not to over thin. I ended up with half the recommended amount and it worked great. It also made the cleanup easier. Make sure you read the manual first and disassemble and reassemble each sprayer before use to understand the parts and how they fit together. It will pay off when it comes to cleanup.

    Great painting solution
    I was impressed by several things with the Flexio 890. First, it is very quiet when the unit is running, no more than a hum really. Not obnoxious like other sprayers I've used. This came in handy when I was painting late at night with the windows open. Also, the really lightweight paint gun allowed me to paint above my head for lengths of time without getting tired. It applies the paint smooth and evenly and you can also change the spray pattern with just a twist of the nozzle which just takes a second. Since the air hose quickly disconnects, I kept a different color paint in another spray gun and just swapped between the two. This way I didn't have to clean the gun to use it with another color which saved me a ton of time. I was able to paint a bedroom in 25 minutes after prepping. Clean up was easy with hot water...about 10 minutes to clean the gun, no tools required. Everything packs away in the base unit so it stores easily on a shelf with no loose hoses or wires. Great painting solution!
