Having owned many spray gens over the years this is far superior to any of them. So impressed I even bought a larger model of the same make and earning my money 3 to 4 times quicker.
First time with a cheapish spray system and can honestly say it was brilliant, used it on a fence, with sadolin dark olive paint. Needs 2 coats as it’s new wood but great so far.
I struggled at first, but after a little bit of trial and error, you can pretty much get it dialled in. Plenty of videos out there to help. Just need to set up as the instructions says for a starting point, test on a sheet of paper then adjust as you think, only adjusting one setting at a time and test again. You’ll get there, the rad cover was only my 2nd try out.
Would defo advise buying the cleaning brush kit and make sure you clean it straight way! Even BETWEEN COATS it only takes a few minutes!
Love it ! What can I paint nex
I gambled a bit on this. I wanted to spray Sandtex smooth masonry paint and officially it doesn’t do that. Fortunately with maximum air flow, maximum paint delivery and 15% dilution it has done a good job so far. It has sprayed 35litres of masonry paint onto my roughcast wall with very little drama and by the time I finish the house it will be money well spent. It does use a lot of paint, but given the very uneven surface that is being covered that is understandable. The mains lead is too short and if you are going up a ladder with it it is a good idea to use a simple extension lead instead of a cumbersome reel. It is also a good idea to buy the cleaning kit.
I Bought One Of These & I Didn’t Read Anything First. I Masked Off Everything But Didn’t Realise It Was Going To Blow Like A Tornado. I Hadn’t Turned Down The Airflow & Set It On Full Paint Flow. My Masking Went Everywhere & Still Trying To Convince My Wife It Was A Good Buy, I Did The “UNMANLY” Thing “I Read The Book”. I Turned Everything Down & After 5mins, I Looked Like A Professional. My Son Had A Thick Gloss George Cross On The Ceiling “7ft x 5ft, When He Was Young & One Thick Coat Covered It. Please Read Manual & Try It Outside First To Set What’s A Good Speed For You & You Will Love It Once Settings Are Sorted. Hope This Helps.
Much easier than trying to use a paint brush. Saved me loads of time on large fence. Each panel took a few minutes and was painted evenly. Easy to clean too. Very happy.
Makes no more mess than a roller
Just as a bit of water to the paint if necessary
Wipe the nozzle clean if it sputters
Always dilute emulsion paint by about 10% with water. Keep cleaning the nozzle as it will build up with paint.
Works as you would expect ,
Just watch out for poor mix paint products , ( lumps ect )
Didn’t spray the whole wall better than a roller was great for cutting in and difficult edges. Was quite heavy when full and found my arm tierd
A lot of overspray but once you get used to it it’s great. Done a room in around 2 hours.
Very happy with Item made painting my summer house and shed a doddle …used a bit of turps to clean as oil based paint stuff ,.,,, easy to strip down clean and dried back in box in less than 10 mins
Brilliant bit of kit. Took one hour to paint 4 walls and ceiling in white. Normally 4-5 hours job and so much easier. Got the ceiling adapter too which was good.
Used a colinder to get out any bits in the paint first and added 10% water to emulsion which still looked great.
As a painter and sprayer for a living this little powerful spray machine does a professional job as you can see from the pics. It has a variable spray tip and a variable power delivery adjuster. Gives a perfect finish anyone would be able to achieve. And it sprays any water based coating strate from the tub. Well worth the money 10/10
GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT.
GREAT VALUE IN COMPARISON TO THE REST OF THE MARKET.
EASY TO USE AND MUCH EASIER TO CLEAN COMPARED TO SOME OTHER MODELS USED.
Brought it from Amazon warehouse a saving 40.00 you do sometimes will get the bargain a customer changed mind broken box etc, depends on your luck however this item is been used by previous customer as the spray head still got wet paint!! No manual its ok you can view on YouTube. This the risk but acceptable I haven’t use it yet hopefully it works.
Fantastic bit of kit enabling me to paint my 10×8 summerhouse in under 20 mins highly recommend i
I’m 69 and the time used to mask off and clean up afterwards is probably about the same time as using a brush BUT no aching back at the end and far greater areas covered. Ideal for fencing.
Based on the Wagner advert I decided to invest in this item to paint my Kitchen Cabinets. I used Little Green Intelligent Satin and the result was good – not a mirror quality finish but better and much quicker than a paint brush/roller – with no no brush marks ect.
Pro.
Instructions are easy to follow and the equipment is easy to use
You can different sprayers for different jobs – sprayers not expensive –
Cleaning is very easy – with water-based paint – this isi critical to ensure good paint finishes
Compressor is separate from Sprayer making it lighter and more flexible to use
CON’s:
Contrary what Wagner says you will have to dilute the latex paint to get good atomisation 10 – 15% at min
IF you new to using sprayers definitely practice using the sprayer – use a sheet of cardboard or brown paper
Use good quality paint that self levels – let it it do the work for you
I sprayed all my cupboard doors flat which allows for paint leveling
If you are not cautious you can end with huge runs in your paint
Nozzle junks up quickly especially in hot weather (20+C) as such if you do not wipe nozzle often it will screw up your finish with blushing and orange peel
Because this is not a professional sprayer your jobs can be hit and miss
I found huge amount of over spray dust as such make sure you protect other surfaces
Overall for the money -I got a good finish on my cabinets. paint fences and shed will be a doddle with this ki
After some internal renovations I was left with a number of walls/rooms with new plaster which needed mist coats. As I was doing ceilings white and mist/second coats white the sprayer was perfect for getting this done in significantly less time and mess than a roller. You need to make sure you mask everything you don’t want painted and that takes time to do properly. But worth it. I wouldn’t use for a final coat as I am probably not skilled enough and prefer to cut in and use roller. But the finished coat and ease of painting all the ceilings was great. Downside for this version was that when container full of paint it was heavy when held at arms length so ceiling work made shoulder ache. I bought an extension but used once as again weight at end makes difficult to extend arm. I have seen other sprayers that are lighter and your reservoir of paint is on ground and better if doing a lot. Cleaning was ok too and if you make sure to run warm water out it cleans through well. My mist coat was 50/50 mix with water and at first my second coat was too watery and it ran down walls as plaster no longer as porous. But once a bit thicker it went on well and you can go up and saidways and like getting two coats on. I would recommend depending on the paint job you are doing.

I used the W690 FLEXiO today and am blown away by the results, 12 fence panels both sides and a shed in less an hour. Seemed to take longer filling the paint pot than painting, its so fast.
The results and finish are flawless, covered an old fence and shed that had not been painted for some years in one coat and both look like new. ( used Ronseal one coat )
Two small annoyance’s for me at least was the mains cable is way to short, easy enough to use an extension but its just something else to get tied up in! And if you aren’t particularly fussy the next point wont bother you, but if you are like me and like to keep stuff as new then it is disappointing difficult to clean after use and keep as new.
Easy enough to clean after a job just not easy enough to clean so it looks like its not been used.
Probably just a me thing!
Useful tip, get an old plastic jug to decant the paint into the spray pot or you’ll start to get in a mess pretty quickly.
Anyhoo I highly recommend this, I’ve used cheaper lesser spray painters and as the saying goes “you get what you pay for”.
Excellent bit of kit, it saved so much time when painting my fence, I used the spray ale paint so no need to water down.
I wasn’t too sure about buying it at first as it’s not an airless model however I was very pleased with the outcome.
Cleaning the gun is pretty simple due to the nozzle and pot detaching from the rest of the gun. Just soak the nozzle and pot In warm soapy water and that’s pretty much it. No standing over a sink trying to get every last bit of paint off a brush, roller or paint tray
The downsides that I experienced were:
The cardboard funnels they supply didn’t fit into the smaller pot so had to fold it further to use but even then due to the size of the paint pot the paint spilt everywhere. My solution was to get a cheap measuring jug and just transfer from one to the other result no mess at all.
The amount of times you need to refill as one pot covers two maybe three fence panels but considering the time i saved in using this I was happy to put up with that.
Next job is to try it out indoors and if the results are as good then I don’t think I’ll ever look back.
I have used this to paint the inside of a new build using high quality emulsion paint and some areas masonry paint.
The instruction infer that emulsion should be diluted 10%, however I found that to get an even spray without ‘spits’ it really needs to be diluted 50/50. Thicker paint can cause clogging of the nozzle.
Masonry paint can be applied quite thick, and using the narrow spray pattern it is less susceptible to spitting.
The emulsion gun instructions say it should be cleaned by running water through it instead of paint. To be honest, it really needs to be taken apart and cleaned properly. The nozzle is not intended to be removed, but it comes off easily once you understand that the yellow clips need to be eased passed the front flange.
I clean the whole spray attachment in the kitchen sink in bits and it makes life much easier without semi-dried paint collecting inside the nozzle.
Once you get the hand of it you can make a lovely uniform finish on the walls and ceiling. Maybe it takes an extra coat since it requires thinning.
I didn’t want to mess around with diluting my satin paint and having to double the coats to compensate, and this spray did exactly what it said on the tin.
The instruction manual is rubbish, the video I found was OK, but only half the story. But its pretty simple.
-Fill the pot with paint, straight out of the tin (thick satin)
-Twist/Click the nozzle & tank on to the gun
-crank it up to max
-Point and shoot.
You can see the wind generated in the video is significant enough to require a sweep up of any dust before hand. The application is almost as smooth as a fine roller and consistent. I didn’t expect this to be as good and as easy to use as it was.
Cleaning was a faff the 1st time. Filling the tank with water and spraying it wasn’t amazingly effective. But the nozzle disconnects and disassembles nicely for detailed cleaning as shown in the photo.
Just as described
Very fast coverage. Some overspray but that was probably my faul
I will say it is a good stuff. It works good. Only thing not very convenient is cleaning. Once you finish painting, you have to cleaning it very carefully. Especially the spray part, otherwise, you will be in trouble next time you use it.
However, it is a good machine. Recommended.
Took a good few days and repaints to get the technique, but the finish wasn’t smooth as you get with a roller or brush and the amount of prep/covering and mess just isn’t worth it. Stick to a roller!
Recommend you do practice run its worth the small waste of paint..
Highly recommended delighted I bought i
I am a reluctant DIY kinda guy most at home indoors at a keyboard rather than doing out-doors macho stuff. It is however a heck of a lot cheaper me painting fence panels than paying some other dogs body to do it. It should also save me money in the long term by extending the life of 70 expensive panels that will one day crumble away and need replacing.
Painting panels looks a doddle but is time consuming and it is wearing on the body when painting above waist height. I bought the ‘Wagner Universal Sprayer W 690 FLEXiO’ with no prior experience of paint spraying to save time and reduce the physical fatigue of doing it. I was a little reluctant to get a sprayer as it filled my mind with embarrassing images of me covered from head toe in paint.
Think Laurel and Hardy in ‘Dirty Work’ ( type it in to google and you’ll get the idea ).
I carefully experimented beforehand with water and then fence paint discretely away from my neighbors twitching net curtains.
The ‘Wagner Universal Sprayer W 690 FLEXiO’ has attachments for indoors and outdoors.
On reflection it’s unlikely I will use it indoors but I like to get the most bang for my buck so the flexibility of both indoor and outdoor spraying appealed to me.
After reading the instructions and assembling I was ready to go — sort of.
If you are painting with a brush or a sprayer you need to prepare the area first.
It seems as if you can never have enough cardboard to protect the ground. I have collected a heap of big boxes in preparation and flattened them to protect the pavement and white fence supports at the foot of the fence panels. I also used masking tape to protect the white fence posts and I filled in the gaps with a combination of old rags and bin liners ripped open to cover everything else. In fact it takes quite a while to set all this up but this is necessary regardless of whether you are spraying or brushing. I now tend to set up the masking tape in advance before ‘spray day’. The tape you can prepare any day it’s not raining but on ‘spray day’ you need it not only to be dry but also without any wind.
The smiling slim early 30′ brunettes in jeans and a shirt that appear in the marketing pictures for this produce I am pretty confident never actually did any painting. You need to be kitted up. With proper brand spanking new out of the cellophane painting overalls on, an old pair of glasses, the provided face mask and a cap to protect my saloon shy hair it was time to blast away.
When switched it on it sounds a bit like a modest hoover. Spraying about 20cm away and moving very slowly gets the best results. My first instinct was to wave my arm back and forth like a paint brush but that just increases fatigue. Better to remain static on target until an area is done and move slowly to the next bit. I didn’t get much spray blowback. It goes where you point it. The nozzle can be adjusted for side to side or up and down painting. I did find it quicker and less taxing than using a brush.
However I would recommend a few things to get the most out of it.
1) It takes a while to clean the thing afterwards so it’s better to do lots of panels in one session.
If you are just doing one a day you probably are not saving much time when the cleaning of the equipment is added to the job. Doing 4 or more panels at a time and you are going to be in time credit.
2) Make sure you have a BIG funnel. Pouring a bucket sized tub of Ronseal ‘Dark Oak’ Fence Paint into a small container does get very messy. I bought an ‘Extra Large 200mm Orange Funnel’ from Amazon and it does the job well.
3) Buy an additional 1400ml container add-on attachment. It’s annoying to be in the flow of painting and then have to stop to carefully fill the paint container again — even with a big funnel. On my spray days I fill up the 800Ml standard container that comes with the unit and two 1400ml containers I bought separately before I start spraying. When I get going I can then do a fast reload by replacing the empty container with the ready to go and already full containers. Search for ‘Wagner 417921 Container with Cover, 1400 ml Paint sprayers’ on Amazon and you will find the one I bought.
4) Wear a hat.
5) Watch the weather forecast and plan the preparation day and the spray day.
6) Consider the neighbors. Where there are windows, washing lines, patio furniture or sunbathers on the other side of the fence; play safe and use a brush. At least do not spray the top part of the fence so there is no chance of spraying something that could get you a mouthful of abuse and a knuckle sandwich.
7) Wear ear protectors. I did 12 panels in one go and my ears were ringing afterwards.
With all that in mind it seems to the job quite well.
It’s not cheap but it seems sturdy and it is effective.
I’m happy with it and now I can get through a load of panels in less time without feeling the aches and pains of a wrestling match after just one panel.
Did the job well good value .Painted a garden fence.
So I decided that I would rather spend a lot less and invest in this Spray Gun system, and really glad I did.
I followed the instructions on youtube, made sure the paint was mixed to the right consistency and made sure I did a test run on another wall to get a feeling of the spray pattern and speed of movement.
The bathroom took 45 minutes to prep to make sure to protect against overspray, then it took about another 45 minutes to spray three walls and the ceiling. Less than 2 hours from start to first coat for the whole room.
No Spills, no drips and the builders loved the finish so much they are buying one as well.
Super easy to clean, no brushes or trays.
Hope to never to use brushes on walls ever again.
Purchased and used for most coating new plaster of some building work. Took a couple of tries to get it right at first. But once I was used to the settings and how much to water the paint, this can’t be beaten to cover large areas quickly.
You will need a good mask and goggles for safety especially if you are painting the ceiling. A mist of paint will inevitably come down (remember to cover your floor properly).
I would definitely recommend this product if you like painting your own house, I suppose this would be a good option too for a professional. I am about half way done through my house and didn’t have any issues with it.
One thing I did notice is that the “easycare and washable” paint from Dulux is tougher to clean from the machine afterwards. I wonder if there is an other product than water to clean it out easier.
Bought this to paint garden furniture and spray paint a pebble dash wall. Made quick work of the job in both cases. Would highly recommend it.
It’s very easy to use. I used it to treat fence panels. I did 14 sides in just over 2 hours.
Prep, prep, prep is so important. Ideally remove fence panels and spray in a safe area.
The nosiil can get blocked is left for a while.
It’s handy to have someone to top up the reservoir.
The whole unit cleans up easily.
One reservoir does about 1 side (10% water)
The spray gets into crevices that a brush just won’t do.
After my experience using it for fence panels, I do not want to use it indoors as I found it hard to control. Maybe with practice I might feel more confident.
It’s best to have all the panels ready and do it in one go as stopping and starting slows the whole process down.
The machine is all plastic but feels sturdy without any vulnerable parts. Disassembles easy for through cleaning.
The cleaning is quite easy too as long as you do it immediately after you finish painting before the jets get a chance to block/clog.
In summary, if you are prepared to practise on a scrap piece of timber before you commit, you will have no problems with the machine. I would definitely buy this item again.
Joh
Product is of German quality, I was very impressed by its engineering.
However, if you are new to spraying, i have the following suggestions:
– be patient: it will take a few attempts before mastering how to use the sprayer properly (right distance, width of spray, etc.). I recommend trying several times on a cardboard before moving to the wall.
– keep a small roll at hand, in the beginning if you over-spray, you will see areas with drops of paint, just roll them over
– spray particles will go everywhere, therefore: 1) wear protective masks at all time (ironically, in these Covid times when a proper mask is difficult to purchase, one FFP2 mask is included with the sprayer); 2) protect windows and doors with plastic sheets (make sure they are taped properly, the sprayer releases strong air which may move the plastic sheets). Same for the floor, protect it from spray particles and dust.
– Paint needs to be water-based, and you will need to refill quite a few times, depending on the area you need to spray. We used Dulux “white matt” from Homebase: every time I refilled I was adding a 10% water and gave a good stir.
– Cleaning takes some time, do it in the garden drain or in your utility room sink if possible, just use water; components can be removed and repositioned easily.
– Finally make sure you carefully read the clear instructions and leaflet; also I suggest to watch videos on Wagner Youtube channel.
Good luck and regards
We had to thin the paint,but did a whole house that is pebble dash in two days.
Make sure you mask well though.
Great article except it guzzles the paint , if amount of paint is no problem go ahead !!
Made short work of doing the fences but takes 10 minutes to clean.
