Earlex 5700 Stationary HVLP Finishing Sprayer for Woodworking Projects

Love this paint sprayer! Works great and is so easy to clean.

Awesome paint sprayer. Atomizes real well. Does great with paint and topcoat.

Item performs very well and very easy to use

This is a good upgrade from one of the mostly plastic one-stage sprayers. But the way the hose attacked is just kind of silly…it’s just a stick on situation. It comes off too easily and with all the pressure of the air it goes flying around damaging your carefully prepped and sprayed items. I took to literally holding it together while spraying out of fear it would destroy my hard work again. It should Screw or clamp somehow. Otherwise it’s a great sprayer.

Run, do not walk, away from this sprayer. This is the WOOOORST sprayer. So many regrets buying this. Paint splutters every time. Flashing on projects. Doesn't matter how clean it is or what paint you use, or how much you thin it. Worst purchase. Ever.

Bought this to paint all my lousy pressboard kitchen cabinet doors, drawers and faces. I watched several videos, read through all the reviews, and settled on the Earlex 5700. Admittedly, this is my first sprayer (I am old school brush and roller guy) however the learning curve was simple (watch the videos, and read the manual, however light weight it is) and then go for it. The pump itself weighs nothing and seems cheap as heck but if it lasts a few years that's all I can hope for at this price point. I put several gallons of Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond primer and Emerald paint through it with excellent results. Do pay attention to the flow rate (the primer needed a fair bit of cutting while the paint needed very little) and DO BUY FILTERS and filter your paint! (I was shocked to see chunks / flakes in my primer and lost a day of progress because of it.) Do NOT let the gun sit around for hours between coats - clean the needle at a minimum - and when done, be vigilant about cleaning the gun and all parts thoroughly. Near the end I could do a thorough cleaning in about 10 minutes.... The canister that ships with the gun I bought is only for paint, not varnish - you will need another one for that which isn't coated. Only con so far is that the canister interior coating is already scratched and seems kind of cheap but time will tell - still works great so far. Also, don't be like me and NOT tighten the gun down AFTER you decided which way you want the intake tube pointing. I didn't and it started dripping / leaking from the seal and made a mess of the gun and my work - live and learn. Once I figured that out, cleaned the entire gun, got my direction/angle right all was good. One other pro tip - the surgical tubing from the gun to the canister comes lose so I put some small zip ties around each end to hold it in place. Overall, 10/10 would buy again. Makes painting surfaces with odd angles / faces / profiles pretty simple.

I have enjoyed other Wagner tools over the years and have been quite pleased. This is also the case with this HVLP. It is a very well made product that does what an HVLP is supposed to do. My last Wagner HVLP was heavy and well made. This one is quite light and easy to manage. The turbine produces enough power to get the job done. The cup is steel as is most of the gun. I recommend!

Bought this model having never used a paint sprayer before. Very satisfied with it. Easy to understand instructions. Easy to use. Biggest hassle and mess is thinning the paint to get the right viscosity. My latex paint was much too thick to use. Cleanup was pretty easy but takes a bit of time. Would recommend this model for the weekend project person or home handyman. I used it to paint about 10 wood house shutters I built. Did a nice job.
