Great machine
Takes a bit of practice but gets the job done quickly and a great finish, the only disappointment is a lot of paint left in the tub when it stops spraying, a bit of a waste if you only have a small project.
Does exactly what it says on the ti
Brilliant best paint emulsion sprayer ive ever bought did all my bedroom in 10 minutes not including maskin up which takes a bit of time ,just done both my sheds with creosote in 15 minutes great with creosote as it doesnt need thinning had to thin the emulsion a tad but not a big deal yers i’d highly recommend this produc
Quality-top range.
Very useful and easy to use indoor and outdoor.
100% recommend
Easy to use and saves time compared to brushing.
I am so impressed with this product and how easy it is to set up and use. The things I like the most are how quick and easy it is to apply paint.
I followed the set up as described and it all worked perfectly.
I was using this product to paint a fence 1.8 m high 100 m long. The fence paint was diluted 10% with water I would mix 10 L and use.
When cleaning products I cleaned the sump with water and then filled the sump with clean water and flushed the water through the spraygun.
All items cleaned well it did take around 15 minutes to clean all parts thoroughly but the time saved using the sprayer it was worth it.
I am giving this product a definite five stars.

Works well just hard to clea
Great does the job but hard to get really clean. The.paint path is not reliable at all points so cleaning is a task
Brilliant bit of ki
Never had a paint sprayer before so very new to me. Once I had tested it first found it very easy and so effective to use. Painted 2 rooms and a hallway with ease. Easy to refill and easy to clean. Other reviews are right dilute your paint slightly more than advised for an easier coverage. Mask every where up properly and there’s no need to paint the edges with a brush.

Easy peasy
Fence panels done very satisfactorily; so easy to use in conjunction with reading the instructions…
Disregard reviews claiming paint not spraying, no problem if instructions followed. Looking forward to using with masonry paint next! Great bit of kit!

Wonderful!
Very good spray gun, doesn’t get blocked like most others and very easy to clean.
Excellent Spraye
Excellent producthad Cuprinol Sprayer in past.nozzles always blocking up and making spraying of garden fences a painthis product is excellent and for the price I would highly recommend.
All in one
Liked the product, painted my whole apartment, was powerful and very easy to use.
Does a fabulous job
We were looking for a sprayer to spray over 60 year old pebble dash. it did it very well with two coats. It took far less time than it would have just painting with a brush or roller. Absolutely delighted.

great tool did the job really well had no problems at all i recommend that you pay a little more well worth i
Very good entry level to do spraying
Was weary about buying a sprayer…and how much mess it would make.
It’s a juggle to mix the paint and water (if it’s thick paint)
But..once done… I used a piece of cardboard in one hand to mask ceilings…and edges…and sprayed away..
Very very happy with it.

No watering down needed.
I bought this to paint pebble dash. I thought I might have to water down the emulsion but it managed it no bother and I finished the job in no time. I would highly recommend. For that one job alone it was worth buying.
Easy to clean, easy to use. Only comment would be the cord could be a little longer but that’s a minor issue all in.

Great spraye
This is a great sprayer I needed to paint the pebble dash on the bungalow this sprayer did it just great I mix the paint with 10 % water as another person on here suggested and it work great and easy to clean and assemble definitely recommend
Brilliant produc
A fantastic product easy to use with a professional finish
Great piece of kit very well priced
This is my first paint sprayer and I was concerned about overspray and paint volume. Needn’t have. I used it with masonry paint, diluted slightly with water. My 10l tub said it covers around 120m2 and I had to paint 116m2. After first coat I still have more than half the tub left and coverage is excellent, so very happy at that. A breeze to clean and very light. With the right adjustment I found there was little overspray. Bought as it does all paints

Easy and useful
Very useful for my job. Saved me a lot of time but paint holder is to small
Does the job
Brilliant bit of kit. I wouldn’t use it for indoor work, but out in the garden I can’t fault it. Garden shed painted, and tools cleaned and packed, in less than an hour.

Used a heap of these! This is worth the money ALL day long
Light and easy to use
This sprayer is light and easy to use. It does tend to use a lot more paint than brushing, even though it is set up correctly.
Fully recommend
Love it, did 17 fence panels and my decking in 2 hours. Great investme
A good mackshee
A very good macksheen wish I had got 1 a lot earlie
I bought this to paint new Tyrolene Render on our house. It beats painting masonry by hand by some way. I used thinned down Sandex Smooth (about 15% water) and it sprayed perfectly. There is a lot of overspray when using the masonry nozzle so you have to mask out very carefully. Masking takes longer than painting. Cleaning up was simple. I am a novice and have never used a spray gun before. I found the masking out harder than the painting. I would recommend this product for masonry painting. It was straightforward to use, it was time efficient and gave excellent results. Worth the money. I intend to use it for fence painting and furniture painting soon.

Job made easy
Easy to use. Made a pain in the behind job very easy. Painting pebble dash an absolute breeze.
Brilliant - does the job effortlessly.
A brilliant bit of kit. Effortlessly sprays very thick fence paint. Far more powerful than I expected. Easy to use and easy to clean to spotless condition. Internal cleaning of any spray gun is essential and Bosch have made this very easy. For thus level of performance it’s a total bargain.

All positive
Amazing, the only weakness it consumes large amount of pai
Good value and perfectly acceptable in terms of performance
Overall this is a very decent piece of kit particularly when spraying very rough wall services (such as my cellar which was barefaced brick). It does use quite a lot of paint quite quickly but the application spray is quite even but beware you will be constantly refilling the tank. I also sprayed my shed with it and it came out very well
Worth the money.
Very easy to use and very mobile. Sprays fences and Sheds no problem. Does go through the paint very quickly though. Keep the paint close by for faster refills. Have tried it on indoor walls yet. Would recommend though.
Easy to clean and use
We used this product to apply Ronseal fence paint to both sides of 7 fence panels. After thinning the paint by 10% as per the instructions, the machine worked brilliantly to produce a good finish. A job which took us 2 days with a brush took an afternoon using this machine. Happy smiles all round.
Why did I not get one of these years ago!
Took longer to read instructions than to paint my shed. Fabulous tool as usual from Bosch. Really easy to clean afterwards under running water. Watered my shed paint down a little. Really easy to apply. Comes with two spray nozzles, one for walls, one for wood. The one nozzle is in a little compartment behind the filter, just pull the little door off and the filter to find. I have arthritis and found the weight when full of paint easy to use
. If when spraying it’s starts running on the surface, just step back a little, or the pressure and/or nozzle can be adjusted.

After many years of laborious garden fence painting using a brush I decided to treat myself to paint sprayer.
I always buy Bosch tools as they tend to work well. This was no exception.
OK, if you have concrete posts and you do not want them painted apply masking tape prior to spraying. Once this is done then a panel takes less than 5 minutes to spray and is great fun. OK I need to get out more
Excellent Produc
Excellent tool, easy to use but instructions could have been more informative
Best used in full refurb situations!
Works good for the price. Everything needs covering beforhand, lots of overspray. This sint like the one you see in youtube video. I done a full victorian hoise with this but lucky as the whole has was being refurbed the paint coukd go amywnere and it didnt matter. Not good for just generalnpainting in a house thats made up, doesnt mattet what you do it puts a mist of paint everywhere. paint needs to be dilluted atleast 25% but the finish is really.good (brushless) tjays hard to achieve without a machine. For the price this is definayely worth it.

Nozzles
Hi, it is possible to buy replacement nozzles? Thank you
Good Paint System
Makes light work of large, rendered surfaces. Easy to use and set up, but unfortunately container isn’t large enough (have to keep refilling).
I was sceptical on this purchase but needing to paint a bunch of walls, I took a chance and it payed off! I read some of the reviews and I can understand some of the comments, however you have to practice. I started with the emulsion straight into the pot and onto the wall, this was uneven so having added a little water and mixing, this made all the difference. The paint goes on smoothly and you have to get the distance right between the spray gun and the wall. Too close and you will have thicker patches, too far away you will need to repeat a couple of times for a decent finish. You have to test and learn. Once you have cracked it, it couldn’t be easier. The finish is great, feels smooth to the touch and the coverage is decent. 3x5m room took about 35 minutes, all four walls sprayed. Using a roller would probably take at least 90 mins so a definite time saver. I choose to spray twice just to ensure a good finish, but the first one was adequate. From my experience, my advice is to cover everything! By its design you will get fine droplets o paint pretty much every where, but again, it’s just the nature of spraying. Equally I would have two people, one spraying, one holding the machine, this ensured the pipe didn’t catch a sprayed wall when turning round. For me, very with while and recommended

This is a great product. Really easy to clean and has good coverage.
Simple to use
Easy to clean. Sprayed a large garage door with synthetic paint and then 32 fence panels . Made the job easy.
Superb paint spray system
WOW absolutely fantastic I bought it to spray my fence and upon looking at other products and noticed that a lot of them cannot spray thick paint however this is fantastic it seems to cope with all types I do not normally write reviews but thought I had to for this superb product but it if you want to do a fast professional job

Good finish...masking takes time!
Easy to put together. Good finish. Makes the painting process quicker.
The paint reservoir is too small…meaning you are constantly refilling…this is laborious as you have to sieve the paint into the reservoir.
Everything needs to be masked in the room…you get get vaporised paint drift so even though you are not spraying one half of the room…the paint drifts onto the other half. So not god for small areas. Ideally you need to seal yourself into the room.

Brilliant even in pebbledashed masonry
So efficient. It cut the job of painting a large external wall in less than half. One coat only. Love it.
Potente ma rumoroso
Ottimo sistema di verniciatura, potente, robusto e soprattutto facile da pulire. I vari componenti (compresi gli ugelli) sono in materiale plastico di ottima qualit e soprattutto di grandi dimensioni, il che facilita le operazioni di pulizia.
Le gocce che fuoriescono dallo spruzzo sono di grandi dimensioni se paragonate a quelle di una pistola a spruzzo “classica”. E’ molto rumoroso, pi di un’aspirapolvere alla massima potenza e “consuma” molta vernice: il barattolo si svuota in meno di un minuto di spruzzo continuo. Consigliato per chi deve verniciare con pittura murale grandi superfici. Sconsigliato per lavori di “fino” su piccole superfici.
Absolutely Blown Away
This was bought for my dad after his last one died.
Perfect.
Nos gusta mucho, y es muy cómoda.
Pues resulta que nos encanta, se pinta mucho mejor que con rodillo, con unos cartones puedes tapar los rodapis.
Tiene que estar bien lquida la pintura, una vez que sabes el porcentaje es muy rpido pintar.
Ticks all the boxes
Goods as described and arrived next day. Easy to use and clean.
Was worried about it not doing the job. But passed with flying colours. Spraying the whole back of my house with smooth masonry paint.It does help being a sprayer. See photos.

Well worth purchase, does a great job.
Excellent product, easy to use and achieve a great finish, used to paint decorative cornice.
Yes it works! I was using [Johnstones paint also found on Amazon] yes with paint in the pot it is heavy to hold up and spray a ceiling but as you use the paint it gets lighter,cleaning took time like with any airbrush application making sure there is no paint residual left,yes I like it I really can not wait to start on the walls and have ordered more paint,I love this paint applicator its mine and I will use it all over my house!! works for me!.

Pistola Spray
Il pacco arrivato nei tempi indicati senza danni , la pistola si presenta di buona fattura e da un primo test
pare funzionare bene come da descrizione .
Handy machine
Great product painted one wall by hand took a lot longer than I expected it to be and with a 3 story house and 3 master bedrooms to paint I opted for this, which I believe is a the mid tier of their range. Greatly increased the speed of decorating, easy to clean only down size is I feel like we could have done with a large paint tank.
Read the instructions very carefully before using
As standard, it is suitable for rough painting; there are no nozzles for acurate painting
The previous owner of my house decided it would be brilliant to pebbledash the entire house. I have tried to paint it on 2 occasions before by hand and with rollers designed for pebbledash but managed about 30 litres of paint to cover half the house and gave up. The pfs 3000-2 has gone above my expectations, smooth masonry paint diluted with about 10% water covers the house much quicker, for less paint(20 litres has now covered the whole house!), and it’s been much safer going up and down ladders.
If you’ve ever struggled to paint pebbledash, get this!

I have no complaints easy to use and does the job. Quick and easy to clea
Buy you won't regret.
Just the job
Saved me hours with a brush and great finish
This is being used to spray very rough pebble-dashed walls. It works really well, is easy to pull apart and clean and very easy to use. Overall it is a great piece of kit and well worth the money.
Perfect for PEBBLEDASH walls! x-times faster than by roller or brush. Typical BOSCH quality, quite easy to use, just have to learn the finishing ”swing” at change of direction, but overall close to perfect coverage from first second on and no blotches. Tried a few models of Spray guns and never got the hang of it. This one seems to just do the job so even I am able to use it and do a great job. Recommended
Great produc
Great product, works well with great results.
Would have been useful to have either a second paint holder or a larger paint holde
Easy to assemble, used on my decking fencing the interchangeable spray nozzle makes it easier to adapt to fence sizes, sprays straight out of the tin, used on rough & smooth wood surfaces- no problems
On the down side but not a big problem- paint container could be bigger as you have to refill more ofte

I like it!
Works very well. I was only going to give this 4 stars due to the extra time it takes to prepare and clean afterwards, but it makes the painting so much easier and quicker then it takes less time to clean than a roller.
Will use paint quickly but it is all on the wall.

I used this spray gun to paint my hallway with undiluted trade emulsion (thick) paint. The hallway was part fresh plaster (mist coat already applied) and part old paint.
What’s good? Once you’ve masked everything – and you’ll need to do this well – it’s very quick. 2 hours from start of painting to completion. This is helpful if you’re in an area that can’t be out of action for long like a hall/stairs/landing. The finish if the paint is applied in accordance with the instructions is every bit as good as a roller. It’s very good at getting even coverage in corners, around doors etc. The adjustable nozzle helps with this.
What could be better?
It generates a lot of fine dry paint particulates that, if you’re not careful will go everywhere. It goes without saying that a mask is required and I think Bosch would do well to include one to get you started given the target consumer. Ceiling spraying was quite tricky as pointing the gun at the ceiling results in the gun getting no paint – this is solved by keeping the container well topped up and spraying at 45 degrees. I had to periodically clear the air channels of dried paint to ensure that it worked consistently, this may have been because of the viscosity of the paint that I was using.
Other comments:
It gets very hot using the spray gun for long periods of time. The air coming from the blower gets really quite hot so the room becomes like a sauna except you have your clothes on. It is also noisy, not crazily so but worth knowing. I also found that overspraying an area is quite easy to do, but also easily fixed if you keep a small paint roller to hand. When starting and in detailed areas I found that using the lower air setting, though not in the instructions, was quite good for delivering smaller amounts of paint. Finally I’d not recommend using low tack masking tape as the jet of air will be enough to get under it.
Overall I’m pretty pleased with it. If you’re looking for an overall quicker way of painting, don’t bother because the masking time will be as much as any additional time brush/rolling. But if you want a nice consistent finish to the corners of the room, have large areas to paint and don’t mind the masking effort or are simply bored of using a roller and brushes then go for it.

Amazing… exactly what it says on the tin sprayed the whole room in 45 mins only improvement would be a continuous feed of paint bit laborious filling the tank
Paint to your hearts conte
Great sprayer good instructions easy to read. Lightweight and easy to clean.
Five Stars
Love this, so easy to use, takes all the hard work out of painting. Highly recommend
it was quite good. Job done
I painted my two bedroom flat with Bosch PFS 300, it was quite good .Job done. I would recommend this product.
This is fantastic. I was painting my garage by hand with masonry paint and getting in the cracks in the old brickwork was lengthening the work, so I bought this. Made the job like 10x faster and minimal effort. The gun part dismantles quite well (nozzle comes out etc) so cleaning is really easy.
I bought this for painting my outdoor fences, using Cuprinol Sprayable Fence Treatment. My previous attempt was the Cuprinol hand pump spray that was a total disaster and I reckon would have taken me 1.5 days to cover my fence. Bosch is a totally amazing product – fast and consistent application and very easy to clean. I now can paint the whole fence in ca. 2hrs. The toughest part is constantly having to refill the paint holder – but I’ve just discovered you can buy a spare so that should make things easier on that front.
Highly recommended for my use case, can’t comment on others. General quality of the product feels up to the usual Bosch standard though.
I used the Bosch PFS 3000-2 to paint normal garden fencing, i had a very large amount to do and i needed to do it as quickly as possible,
some was old fencing, some was new. Where possible i took the fencing out of position and placed it upright in the garden with a sheet underneath to protect the grass from paint. As far as i could determine there were 6 variables – the type of wood, the age of the fence, the weather – temperature and wind. if i could remove the fence onto the lawn and finally the paint gun.
The best situation is new wood – heavy duty vertical fencing, on a warm sunny day with no wind
The worst situation is old wood – larchlap on a cold, day where it is raining, and where you have to leave it in position.
So the Paint Gun is only part of the equation – i obviously found that the paint container is woefully small, when you have upwards of 100L of
fence paint it takes ages to keep stopping and filling the container, they should provide you with the option of buying say 5 of these to fill at one time. Otherwise it is an excellent product – for fence painting, but remember you will also need a good paint brush to finsih off.
I used the Bosch PFS 3000-2 to paint normal garden fencing, i had a very large amount to do and i needed to do it as quickly as possible,
some was old fencing, some was new. Where possible i took the fencing out of position and placed it upright in the garden with a sheet underneath to protect the grass from paint.

have just bought this product a few days ago and used it today for the first time. I have to say I read the reviews after ordering it ( bit silly really).
But anyway I read all the instructions before I used it, and I have to say I had no problems with it at all. When I took it out of it’s box I thought the quality of the build was fine, not at all flimsy as someone had said in their review. I used it to spray a garden fence and it did the job really well. So I just have to say to anyone who is thinking of buying this sprayer, go for it !
eplaced by a new one
This one sent back as there was a part missing, the replacement is excellent.
Superb. Used it for the first time recently and sprayed my garden wall in less than 30% of the previous time taken with a brush.
Five Stars
Fantastic, as long as you know what you are doing with a sprayer.
Nice until only problem is that the plastic feed drops back into container if slightly out of line ….
that is the plastic feed that clips in top of the unit to feed … other than that I would recommend spare container with hot soapy water
to run through when you have to refill the original container… only used on outer fences but needed hot soapy water to run through every time I refilled, other wise would dry and block the nozzle ….
Borrowed one of these from a friend to paint my 22 fence panels – what an absolute pleasure to use!! I have concrete posts, so they required masking off, but once that and removing the vegetation was done each panel only took a couple of minutes.
The paint did not require any thinning – just use the normal brushable one and required about half litre (one fill up) per panel.
Super easy to clean with just water, easy to set up, and once you’ve got the hang of it, very easy to get an accurate spray pattern. Only clogged up when I knocked the pistol spray assembly over and must have flooded the jet..quick rinse with water and was off again.
Gone are the days of back and arm ache using a brush and ending up covered in stain – this professional piece of kit from Bosch is the way forward…I’m now buying one!!
Great for fence painting
Great for fence painting. You can cover acres of fence very quickly and is so simple and easy to use and clean. Will try indoors but suspect will need more overspray management there and considerable masking of the areas yo do not wish to spray.
