I've never used an airless paint sprayer before. I wanted to paint the exterior of my house, and buying this sprayer was cheaper than renting for 3 days from my local big box stores.
The instructions aren't great, but luckily most of these sprayers work the same. I watched some Youtube videos about priming and painting tips and off I went. I sprayed my gutters and soffits first, and they looked amazing. Then 2 days later I did the walls with a different color. The sprayer worked as expected, and was easier to clean than I imagined. It also comes with a wand extension which is a must-have. I planned on using this for my project and then reselling it, but at this price and quality, I may just keep it.
I probably would have bought the one without the stand, but it was out of stock at the time. The stand doesn't do much for me. I guess it's just to hold the hose. It doesn't hold or move your paint bucket around, so I feel like maybe it made it more difficult to actually move around while the intake hose was in the 5 gallon paint bucket. In order to move the paint and the sprayer together, I basically carried one in each hand. Rolling it just made it hard to keep the intake tube from coming out of the paint bucket.
