No Compressor? No Problem
The award-winning Wagner Power Tex texture sprayer features a powerful built-in air turbine that generates enough air flow to spray professional-looking texture on walls, ceilings, and other hard surfaces. Because the turbine is built into the sprayer, there's no air compressor or long air hoses required. The turbine is rated at 120 volts, 3.7 amps, and 60 Hertz.The Wagner Power Tex has received the "Member Tested and Recommended" seal and the "Contractor Tested and Recommended" seal from the Handyman Club of America. Hopper Adjusts for Ceilings or Walls
The Power Tex features a large, one-gallon, two-position hopper that can be quickly configured for spraying either ceilings or walls without the need for adapters. Simply fill the hopper with water-based texture material--the same stuff the pros use--plug the hopper into a standard 15-amp wall socket, and spray. The hopper's three-point stand will stabilize the unit, making filling a snap, and the built-in arm rest will keep you comfortable while you work. Lock-n-Go Technology for Quick and Easy Use
Featuring Wagner's Lock-N-Go Technology, the Power Tex is easy to set up and clean anywhere--no tools required. Assembly takes just minutes: lock the air turbine onto the back of the spray gun with a simple twist and fit the hopper into place on the top of the gun. Screw on the desired nozzle and the Power Tex is ready to go. Cleaning the Power Tex is also a breeze. Simply remove the air turbine, hopper, and nozzle from the spray gun and clean with the included brush and warm, soapy water. Let dry and reassemble the unit for storage--it's that easy! Create Professional-Looking Texture Finishes
The Wagner Power Tex includes three nozzles (small, medium, and large) and a variable-flow trigger for producing professional-looking textures: Acoustical Popcorn, Knockdown, and Orange Peel finishes. The Power Tex is designed to be used with a wide variety of water-based texture materials, including standard texture material, aggregated texture, unaggregated texture, and diluted joint compound. The Wagner Power Tex is backed by a one-year limited warranty. What's in the Box

 Worked great for me September 25, 2009
GalvezGuy (Galveston, TX, USA)
First, if I had not read all of the other reviews before buying this product, I would have probably been very disappointed. The main piece of advice I can give anyone thinking about using this tool is that your mud has to be very thin, a consistency of pancake batter is too thick (at least the way I make pancakes). I would say that the proper consistency is a little thicker than Kilz primer, it should pour easily. At this consistency, it takes longer to dry than the instructions, but the result is great. I was able to do the ceiling in a fairly large room in about 20 minutes and the rather sloppy job I did of taping and floating was not visible anymore. I had to wait about 45 minutes to do the knockdown, but the result was great and with three more rooms to do, this is going to save me a lot of cash.
 Power Tex - Good product bad instructions August 24, 2009

The Wagner Power Tex is a very good product with very vague instructions. I had quite an adventure with it and decided to post my adventure for the overall improvement of humanity. I wish someone else had done the same for me, but oh well. Somebody's gotta do it. Here is a link that you MUST read if you're going to buy and use this tool:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2089469/adventures_with_wagner_power_tex_texturing.html?cat=30
Beyond that, what others have said here is largely true but it all has to be taken in some perspective. The trigger gets tough to pull after any extended use and if you fill the hopper up, it's quite a work out holding up all that weight. Also, the noise is no worse than a vacuum cleaner BUT it's right there on your arm so it seems louder and yes, it's messy. OK, all that aside, some .25 ear plugs solve the noise problem and filling the hopper half way makes the hopper weight about 1/3 as much due to the funnel design AND less material also forces you to take more breaks to refill which gives your trigger finger a rest. If you've got material running down your finger, the material is too thick. It can't be blown onto the wall and that's why it's oozing out.
In the end, I'm very glad I bought this tool and I'm very happy with the performance. You will be too if you read through that article and learn from my mistakes rather than the Wagner instructions.
Good Luck!

This tool did everything I needed it to do, but I sure am glad I read all of the reviews here. Thanks to the suggestions and advice from other owners, my first experience with wall texturing went very well.

After getting some estimates on texturing our master bath I decided to buy this and do it myself.
First let me say it is a breeze to clean, and overall engineering and design of the product is excellent.
As another reviewer mentioned, the consistency of the material is one of the make-or-break factors in the quality of the results. Most importantly, you must practice A LOT before trying a real project. I worked with it outside on a giant sheet of plastic for about thirty minutes and felt that was sufficient. It wasn't, not by a long shot.
Our bathroom turned out OK and I'm proud of it but to anyone who takes a careful look it is clearly an amateur job.
Tip for success: Do not aim the gun with your hand (as is natural). Hold your arm steady and move your entire body. With the hopper even half full it is difficult bear the weight with your hand or wrist for more than a few minutes.
Expect that your very first project project is probably not going to yield results comparable to that done by workers who do this sort of thing on a daily basis. I learned quite a bit and am confident my next attempt will turn out better.

After having one room sprayed by professionals, I was amazed at how easy what they did was (spraying and finishing a "knockdown" texture.) I was charged $200 for just the ceiling of one fairly large room. Two guys had the entire room done in less than an hour from the time they pulled up until they left and most of that time was spent waiting on the mud to dry enough to do the knockdown after spraying. How hard could this be, I thought. With the Wagner, the answer is "Not very." Yes, the thing is heavy when it's filled with mud but spraying an average ceiling can be done in about 10-15 minutes after you have mixed the mud properly. There's also no rule that says you have to fill it up. If it's too heavy, fill it half-way. Spraying walls will take longer, obviously. Yes, small women may have trouble with this as, again, it will give your shoulders a workout but you have to think of the money you're saving on something so simple by NOT calling in a drywall guy. Your home center should carry bags of dry mix made especially for spraying. SHEETROCK MAKES ONE CALLED TUF-TEX for about $10.00 that is enough to spray the ceiling and walls of an average sized bedroom give or take. You will need a 5-gallon bucket and a medium to large paint or drywall mixing attachment for a drill. They make special tools for doing the knockdown or orange peel finish but I used a large plastic paint spray shield for large areas and it worked great. I used a taping knives in tighter areas. For knockdown and orange peel, there's a fine line between waiting too long after the application and not long enough. Not long enough and you'll just have large slick areas (no big deal though, wait for that area to dry a bit and respray it); too long and you end up with a rougher texture. As a rule of thumb, what worked pretty well for me was doing one wall, then a short break (a couple of minutes), then another wall. About the time I got through with the second wall (or within a few minutes of that) the first wall was ready to be "knocked down." HOWEVER, THE SECOND WALL WILL NOT BE READY YET. Go ahead and spray wall #3. Wall #2 will probably be close to being ready by that point. If not, go ahead and spray wall #4. It's not rocket science. If all but the thickest part of the globs sprayed are dry, it's ready to be knocked down. If not, wait a few minutes. Is this tool worth the money? Every penny.
