Airless Sprayers - Your Opinion

[Roger]

Which type of airless sprayer is better and why? Diaphram or Piston

Which brand is better and why? Graco or Wagner

I am trying to decide which type and brand of airless sprayer I want, primarily for painting. Your input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

the graco piston, i got one 2 years to spray epoxey with , sprayed about 200 gallons , still works great, got it at Home Depot $804 total.

sherwin williams sell the same one with there name on it , it about $50 cheaper

I also agree that Piston is better. I have a Titan 440e sprayer that I also paid around $800 for a few years back. I am once again using this sprayer to put on stain. I like the consistency of the spay much better then my Shurflo sprayer which gets me nuts with the inconsistent spray pressure.

In the future I'm only going to use the Shurflo sprayer for chemicals only.

We had a graco, but got complaints about the cloud, so now we just pump spray. Wait until you hit one white BMW !!!!! We never did, but i just didnt want to deal with people always wondering what was floating in the air.

YOUR RIGHT MHPOOLE,

THE FIRST AND ONLY DECK THAT I HAVE EVERY DONE , I USED THE GRACO TO SPRAY THE SEALER ON WITH , I THANK 50% OF IT FLOTED AWAY, THE GUY WAS HAPPY WITH THE JOB , BUT HE WONTED IT SEALED AGAIN IN 30 DAYS , I WENT BACK AND I USE A PUMP UP SPRAYER THE 2ND TIME, THIS WORKED MUCH BETTER.

I THANK IF I DID DECKS ALL THE TIME, I WOULD USE A PUMP UP SPRAYER , SURFLO OR THE GRACO WITH A VERY LARGE TIP.
