Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for anything from close-up detail stain work to covering large surfaces with smooth, even paint, this power painter is as versatile as they come. Large houses, small cottages, cabins, fences, decks picnic tables, sheds, shutters or garages, this power painter sprays 6.6 gallons per hour for quick painting operations. A wide tip sprays latex paints un-thinned in a pattern up to 12 inches wide for covering large surfaces quickly. The sprayer's two-speed pattern control gets close in for detail work and comes with a convenient backpack for use on ladders and scaffolding. The included suction set draws paint or stain straight from the can via 5-foot tubes. Or, great for ladder work, cans be transported on the back with the kit's comfortable backpack. --Brian D.

 Works Great if you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! February 11, 2007

Painter works great for SMALL projects. Used it to paint 1 wall in our house and it worked great. Make sure you cover everything as there is overspray and wear a mask. Great item!
 If you don't know how and you don't want to learn, it's your fault. July 22, 2006

If you are worried about thing "horrible" things you read here, stop. I have used an assortment of Wagners and I have had few problems with them. The problems I have had were my fault. It's not a pro-gun, but it works great. Here are the steps to success
1: Read instructions.
2: See step 1.
3: Strain paint. Yes, like pasta after it is done boiling. This removes the "boogers" from the paint. They clog up the painter every ten seconds.
4: Read instructions. I know you missed the part about oiling during assembly.
5: Stop leaning it foward and back girly man. I know it's heavy but this thing is just like any other spray bottle. If you tip the bottle, the liquid moves away from the tube that sucks it up and you get air instead.
6: Read the instructions before you trash talk. Then, read them again. Then, go talk to the guy at homedepot. He's the one who told me to strain the paint. ;-)

Absolutely DISMAL performance. The scenario: I had a quantity of wood lawn furniture to prime and paint. I tried priming one with a brush and that took me almost 2 1/2 hours. So, before starting the other 4 chairs, I suggested to my wife that we buy a power painter. There were cheaper models at the Home Depot but I insisted on this one "When you buy tools, always buy one better than you need," I told my wife. "Next time you want to use it, the project may be a bit more challenging." So I brought it home, read the directions, filled the reservoir with paint and started spraying. The thing hummed and vibrated and built up to a quick and smooth spray. I tested and adjusted as instructed in the manual. The thing sprayed then stopped, then spit and gobbed primer all over the place. I thinned the primer. Same thing. I changed the spray head. Same thing. It spit and gobbed between intermittent steady sprays. Then it clogged up. I took it apart, cleaned it with denatured alcohol, scrubbed the paint nozzle and put it back together and it worked for anothe ten minutes. After three hours of horrible performance, I soaked the pieces in alcohol and finished painting with a brush. The Wagner 315 is messy, wasteful, unreliable, and ultimately worthless. And, they don't allow you to return them to the store, just for "service". Avoid at all costs.
Worked great for 10 mins. and FAILED - NOT RECOMMEND August 7, 2005

I read extensively the reviews here and on other websites. I am an experienced do it yourselfer- built cabninets, painted large rooms, built furniture, etc... and THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST TOOL I have ever owned. The short version of the review is DO NOT BUY IT. IF YOU DO, MAKE SURE THE STORE THAT OFFERS IT WILL GUARANTEE A FULL REFUND EVEN IF THE UNIT AND ITS COMPONENTS ARE USED AND HAVE PAINT ON THEM.
As recommended, I carefully read the instructions, and used a thinned latex paint recommended by Wagner. I taped up all surfaces that I didn't want to avoid the spray that most reviews talked about and I even got a mask for for the job along with saftey glasses - highly recommened for the contact lens wearer.
Anyway the unit worked great for the first 10 mintues. Yes there was overspray - no problem beacuse I taped - and it did use more paint than I expected. It gave a smooth coat and initially sucked the latex indoor paint fine.
HOWEVER, after 10 minutes and a half painted wall, the sprayer made that high pitch whine that is warned about in the manufacture's directions. I carefully removed the spray nozle, the piston, etc and cleaned them according to the instructions. If you do buy this unit (I'm sorry you did) make sure you have a bucked of hot water nearby and are ready for a mess. Disassebly, cleaning including time to make it is dry enough to start painting again is about 15 minutes of downtime and the water/paint mixture from cleaning is a mess and will get everywhere.
I reassembled everything carefully and started again. The unit lasted for another 4 minutes and jammed again. I reread the directions for cleaning to make sure I hadn't missed anything and cleaned it a second time. Tried painting again. It lasted for a minute... and jammed up. The problem (I think) is the latex paint kept drying inside the unit on the piston. It would fill in the compression area, jam and stop working. The problem is caused by the friction of the piston moving back and forth.
In any event after the 3rd cleaning (and far too much frustration and time wasted)I dumped all the washable components in the bucket, ran out and finished painting the room with rollers. I had to argue with the local chain stores' manager to take the unit back. I told him I would recommend that selllers of the unit take it off the shelf. (As a side note, when I first showed up at the returns counter one of the kids working the cash register let slip that they don't take returns on these units, but instead regulary ship they back to Wagner for cleaning/refurbishment and then give it back to the Customer.)
Even if the unit had worked, because of the overspray issue, it can not be used in a 2 color room. The spray does get everywhere in very fine dots. There is also a significant limitation on the amount of paint you can carry and the cord to the can of the paint is very short which makes it a 2 man job. It used more paint than you would expect. I'd plan for an extra 1/4 gallon for every normal gallon of paint. Cleanup is a mess, make sure to have rags down near the bucket of water.
And finally overall, JUST DON'T BE TEMPTED BY THE THOUGHT OF GETTING THRU A SMALL BEDROOM IN AN HOUR OR TWO. Spend the money and rent or buy an industrial airless sprayer or just get a set of rollers.

We recently had a cedar fence installed. The fence has lots of lattice work and alternating pickets. I needed to seal the fence and after 1 hour of hands and a brush I had about 2 of 14 panels done, but only on one side! I said "enough of this," ran to the store and bought a Wagner. I finished the entire fence in about an hour and a half. I mean, it would have taken me 10 hours by hand, and I got better coverage with the sprayer! As for paint, well I can't say yet. Perhaps a basement or garage would be a great application for this, but I'm not sure I would trust it within 20 feet of any furniture.
