#1
Graco
4.3
(47)
"Graco x7 gets my vote."
"I highly recommend the airless Quickshot over the hvlp."
"A $300 HF airless with a $60 Graco fine finish tip is an amazing combo on the cheap."
"There is also the Graco Magnum x7 that comes with a cart for easy mobility and higher flow rate for larger projects."
"The Graco Magnum x3 is a highly recommended sprayer."
"Graco 390pc all day. Has FFLP mode and all."
"For the price of a 5 stage sprayer, you can buy a graco quickshot, which will do a much better job and is more versatile."
"A new sprayer will help on large projects, but you should be able to shoot a door or a few casings with the 360."
"I have done 11,000 sq ft of exterior walls with a graco project painter plus. Also done cabinet doors. With just a switch of the tip the machine does well on both jobs for just $260."
"Graco X5 or even the vevor airless (only like $140) to get you started. Once to go sprayer you won’t go back."

IK
4.3
(7)
"A genius idea to connect a pump sprayer to a tyre inflator, saving all the pumping."
"Bought this on Prime Day and it's SOOOO much easier."
"Its a game changer… i cant said bout marolex never tried it yet but I’m sticking with IK for now"
"IK multi all day long. I absolutely love mine."
"It's pretty decent but I wouldn't want to use it on the whole car."
"The IK double spray ones are good, although I have copies that also do a great job."
"Be careful if searching for it online because there is another spray bottle that often comes up called the IK multi pro which looks almost the same but doesn't produce foam."

"We use flowzones for residential pest control service and they are great."
"I am very happy with my flowzone"
#4
Titan
4.0
(7)
"I have a Titan...love it."
"A Graco 395 or a Titan 440 should fit the bill."
"Titan 440x"
"I got an older used titan 440 for Solvents. It was free or extremely cheap i forget, and just needed a repack."
"Titan ed655. Or just get a 2gallon compressor with a hvlp cup gun."
"A Titan 440 would be a good entry level sprayer if you are looking to do extortion new construction interior."
"Just another cheap one."
#5
Ryobi
4.5
(6)
"Ryobi's 4g tank. It's a beast, has adjustable PSI, and can use any Chapin accessory and TeeJet nozzle."
"Great pressure washer for the price!"
"Love my ryobi 4 gallon For my 16,000 sqft yard. 3 years now and probably apply 10 treatments year."
"That’s the only thing that I’ve needed to replace after 2 years of owning the 4-gal."
"I have had the Ryobi 4 gallon sprayer for three years now. Works as advertised"
"I have the Ryobi 4g, and it's a great machine."
#6
Harbor Freight
3.7
(7)
"Probably this one. Would be good enough for your needs."
"$300 sprayer from HF with a $60 fine finish tip from Graco."
"You can buy the HF one on sale and use it and then sell it on FB market or Offerup for almost what you paid."
"The Harbor Freight airbrush is a good place to start at least."
"Harbor freight has a cheap one."
"Harbor freight"
"I used one of the harbor freight ones to stain a house (didn't want to gum up my graco). worked better than expected"

Wagner
3.6
(7)
"Looks like I settled on the Wagner flexio 5000."
"So far it has worked great for everything I have tackled like cabinets and doors."
"If you want a good sprayer the Wagner ones are excellent"
"Something like the Wagner Flexio 5000 on the low end of things, or Fuji Semi-Pro for a bit more but still reasonably amount of money for a hobbiest."
"Wagner makes some “cheap” ones that work well enough."
"Do not use the words professional and Wagner in the same sentence plz."
"NOT Wagner."
#8
Flowzone
5.0
(4)
"So after multiple recommendations I bought the flowzone cyclone 2.5."
"Flowzone Typhoon. Bought one about 6 months ago and it is badass."
"I really like the Cyclone 2.5. But after adding a couple of TeeJet nozzles to my setup, putting down various lawn-wide applications is a breeze with the Flowzone."
"For $240 via GCI go with the Flowzone Cyclone 2.5, it's $30 cheaper via pete than amazon. Best consumer DIY battery sprayer on the market for the price point imo."

TeeJet
4.5
(4)
"I personally switch between these two tips from TeeJet that I bought on Amazon."

"It can take almost any TeeJet or Chapin tip."

Titan and Graco
4.5
