HomeRight Super Finish Max HVLP Paint Sprayer - 450 Watts, Model# C800971.M

We've had this sprayer for around a year and had only used it on small projects. That is until we had a lot of extra time at home and decided to tackle painting our kitchen cabinets. And let me make one thing very clear, the only thing I know about painting was picked up by a handful of YouTube videos. We focused on the edges first and then followed with steady 50% overlapping sweeping passes across the big surfaces. I can't tell you if this is correct or not, but our results were outstanding. absolutely! It also comes with a little viscosity cup, which I'll admit, I lost a while back but we ran all our primer and paint through these paint strainers to make sure there was no clumps and everything sprayed great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PA09V0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 XMA Header Image TCP Global 50 Pack of Paint Strainers with Fine 190 Micron Filter Tips - Premium"Pure Blue" Ultra-Flow Blue Nylon Mesh - Cone Paint Filter Screen amazon.com Now, before jumping right into to slinging paint, my advice would be to go WAY over the top (literally) with your masking and paint booth. Spend the time now, you'll be thankful later. And make sure to wear breathing and eye protection. My wife and I each have one of these by 3M respirators https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009F5KDS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they work perfectly, while not making us overheat like our N95 masks sometimes do. Very reasonable cost when we bought them, but with COVID who knows? Ok, so we removed the doors and set up craft paper covered folding tables inside a plastic sheet room in the garage. Although I wish we would've span it over the top also because the overspray gets everywhere! Also, plan ahead because depending on the size of your kitchen, you're going to need a lot of space, or plan to paint in shifts, but we didn't want to be moving them around too much. Also, get a bunch of the little table tents to prop the panels up off the surface, so you can get a good coat all around. **one more tip for the doors - do the backs first. We primed first, but when it came to paint, we did two coats to the backs until we were happy, then flipped them all and hit the fronts with three coats and are very happy. NO BRUSH STROKES! The main reason for doing backs first is that even if the tents happen to leave small tick marks in the surface, it's on the back side and. you'll never see or focus on them.** Now back inside to do the frames. We went to the trouble of masking the inside of the cabinets and the best results I had was cutting cardboard to just bigger than each opening. I then cut a hole big enough to reach through and tape them in place. The hole is easy to cover back up before spraying. < Not sure that makes sense, but stick with me. With all of that effort yielded, we did get the results we were hoping for, but I think that if I had it to do over again, I would have bought more primer & paint and just shot them inside and out. Also, take EVERYTHING out of the cabinets...no matter which process you follow. Much less stressful, trust me. Truthfully though, this sprayer is so easy to use, and the only odd thing I ran into, was when painting over my head for extended periods of time, I opened the paint reservoir and turned the straw 180 degrees so that it pulled paint from the back instead of front. That'll make more sense when you start working with it. Hope this helps somebody.

Bought this sprayer to paint my kitchen cabinets. I have used expensive sprayers in the past, but just didn't want to pay so much to paint my own cabinets. This sprayer does very well. I used Sherwin Williams gallery series primer and paint on these cabinets and doors using the 1.5 tip for paint and the 2.0 for primer, although I think the 1.5 will do both. Lays out a nice job with a little practice. I ordered a 2nd canister so I can have one for the paint and one for the primer. Sprayer cleans up easily. All in all, a good sprayer for probably most any job. UPDATE: After quite a bit of use it got to where it was spraying really bad. The needle that moves back and forth with the trigger pull was moving very slowly and was getting partially stuck. I took the side of the gun off, which is held on by like 4 screws and pulled the needle out. There is a plastic piece it passes through that will unthread. It was getting bound up on that. I had used it to spray some urethane and I don't think I got it completely clean. It was kind of gummy. I cleaned it out good and put a small bit of grease in that plastic part and now it sprays as it always did. So if you buy one and it starts to have a similar issue, try that first. It's pretty simple and only takes like 5 minutes.

Decent sprayer for the money, but definitely limited to small jobs when it comes to painting. Staining, varnishing, sealing may produce different/better results than what I experienced with paint so my review is limited in scope. This sprayer doesn't produce enough pressure to spray most latex water-based paints without thinning them, even if you have the right sized tips according to the paint manufacturer and the volume control knob is turned all the way up. Be prepared to thin your paint, which might require more than 1 coat depending on your expected results. The different spray patterns (vertical/horizontal/circular) work quite well, but you'll want to practice a bit beforehand with the thinned paint to ensure you know what distance away from the surface you need to hold the sprayer in order to get the coverage you want. I sprayed a bunch of 6 panel doors, casings and trim and this worked great. Definitely easier than dragging out a large sprayer and produces a better look with much less effort than a paintbrush. You'll want to stop periodically (more than you would like to) and clean the tip and the air caps around the tip to ensure no paint is clogging it. It sprays fantastically when clean, but clogs up fairly easily and quickly...again...this is for small applications. I then tried spraying a ceiling with it (only 7 ft high, ~400 sq ft). This is definitely not the right/best tool for that job. Ignoring that you have to be very close to your application surface in order to get proper coverage, the angle at which you must spray becomes problematic. The suction tube that goes into the canister can be adjusted so you can tilt the sprayer upward and get more of the paint out, but it still leaves too much paint in the canister before needing to refill. If the suction tube were just a bit longer I think this would not be a problem. As with any sprayer, there is overspray and the aerosolized paint will hover in the air so mask/tape up appropriately, but this is definitely less of a problem than a full sized airless sprayer. The different needles, tips, air caps and wrench are all tiny and will easily get lost of you don't keep them in a spot where they aren't loose. Can't say that cleaning is easy, but cleaning any paint sprayer is usually annoying and cumbersome. Lots of small parts that can get lost down a drain or dropped and a lot nooks and crannys on the device that collect paint and once dried only come off with brushing. The supplied brush does work, but it's pretty small and is probably more for clearing the tips and air caps while spraying than for cleaning. Overall, I'd say this is a good value for the money, especially if you have a small job that you'd like to get a "sprayed" finish look to it. I will use this again and believe it is worth the $120.00

I purchased this sprayer in order to minimize and to speed up the work of staining a 100+ foot long dogeared privacy fence. My wife and I stained the outer (nice and flat) face of our fence with rollers. We took 8 hours working together to stain the fence, and we had to work through the difficulties of rough, uneven lumber, deep grain, and quite a bit of unevenness of the vertical boards. It was miserable work, made worse by "premium" 3/8" roller covers that went flat really quickly. I knew nothing about sprayers. Therefore after reviewing the product reviews here at Amazon I made this "faith based" decision. :) And removed from consideration some cheaper models made by major vendors that had lower reviews. BOY, am I glad I bought this thing! I just completed the staining of the "bad" inner side of the same 100' fence - posts and cross members included - by myself - with the HomeRight sprayer in about 4 hours, start to finish. I experimented with spraying water before committing to solid color Behr stain for the actual job and reviewed the movable parts and adjustments. There are two adjustments: spray density (using a thumb screw on the trigger that limits the travel of the trigger); and spray pattern - vertical, horizontal or round/symmetric. My productivity on rough lumber surfaces like this unfinished fencing increased *dramatically*. The plain side of the fence drove me NUTS with a roller. The sprayer simply fills all visible voids - grain, splits and cracks - with NO extra work and NO time spent re-doing bare missed spots. The nature of painting is quite different with rollers vs. this sprayer. The roller painted side of the fence received a very thick coat that covers almost all of the grain pattern - mainly because we had to go over almost every square foot two or three times in some places. I prefer to apply multiple thin coats. The sprayer is the right tool for this - the stain went on in a feathered way with lots of transparency unless I slowed WAY down very deliberately. The spray stained parts dry quite quickly. On the other hand, I read that with a sprayer 20% or more of the paint or stain is wasted as overspray, and I think that's conservative. With a roller you waste stain with too heavy application - with a sprayer you waste stain from drift. So pick your poison. Bottom line: a sprayer (this one) is a great tool for applying *thin*, controlled thickness coats of stain or paint. The side I did so quickly *will* need a second coat. But two thin coats are much preferable to one gloppy thick coat. The drift of the over spray is significant - after a couple of hours the air intake filters on the top of the power unit (well in back of the direction of spraying) were colored the same red of the stain and will probably block up in the near future, which means that if you're using solvent based paints, you should probably use a respirator, and eye protection is a very good idea too. (watch out for eyewear lenses being covered by paint spray in some windy conditions.) The one hindrance is limited capacity. You're always filling the stupid little 800 ML (almost 1 qt) jar, and I fumbled the jar quite a few times and got paint on everything. And pouring paint from a 5 gal bucket into the jar is sloppy business. But it's a tradeoff. After several hours of using this sprayer I would *not* want to lift a 1/2 gallon - 1 gallon jar attached to the sprayer. :) Cleanup is straightforward. You have to take the jar hardware apart and wash everything - the feed tube and a protective cover for the air supply come out readily. The sprayer nozzle assembly is 4 pieces - the outer screw cover, spray turret, a plastic doohicky under that, and the brass needle nozzle - and it likewise all has to be rinsed. Then (for acrylic) run soapy water through the unit. I strongly recommend buying this sprayer if you have a big outside staining or painting job. Indoors - I'm not certain how it would work out.

I am a small handyman/remodel contractor and this sprayer has been my most profitable tool so far. And It is now cheaper than the first one I bought. The sprayer is easy to use and the results are professional. I've painted dozens of cabinets, doors, hundreds of feet of baseboard and trim. I've sprayed stain and poly without issues (I do recommend getting the additional spray tips that are available for a finer spray when staining). Paint clean-up is always a pain but overall this sprayer is easy to clean. All the important parts disassemble for cleaning. During use, you will need to wipe the spray tip because paint can build up. No big deal. I haven't seen any sprayers that don't have this issue. I bough my first super finish max sprayer in 2020 and used it until my own laziness trashed the sprayer and now I am buying the same sprayer to replace it. All I will say is...Clean your tools after each use!! Final note...for best results, learn to thin and strain your paint/stain materials properly. Enjoy!

Works great! I tried it out with water first to see how the spraying pattern was. It saved me so much time and money. You don’t need expensive products to paint. This will do the job. Good quality product as well

This gun did a great job for a bedroom I painted. I was hoping it would have lasted for the rest of my house but unfortunately, it didn't. The first use was amazing. The prep time to cover everything took a little while, but I have a system in place now. You have to cover EVERYTHING in the room. I bought cheap, disposable plastic covers. You also have to cover your floors. For that I used the plastic and canvas on top. The sprayer worked well, went on smoothly and evenly. Cleaning it was a pain and messy. A lot of parts to clean. It takes about an hour for clean up. The second time i used it, it worked well. The third time, it didn't work. It took a while to troubleshoot. The 4th, time...same thing. By the 5th time, it was dead. Nothing I did could trouble shoot it. I cleaned every inch of it between uses and never let it sit with paint in it. I also never ran primer through it. It was a cheap sprayer and it works great for using it for a project or two. But if you want to do your whole house, I would spend more money on a better sprayer.

I was a little scared to use this. I have never used a paint sprayer before. Using it itself scared me and also cleaning it scared me too. I have a small bathroom cabinet painting project that I wanted to do. So I practiced on a piece of cardboard and it actually wasn’t too bad. Adjusted the flow and there it went. I used zinsser cover stain primer diluted ( I know, it says not to but I did anyway) to 40 sec on their viscosity cup which I purchased it separately. Viscosity cup had its own directions for different kind of paints, primers and etc. so I followed that instruction to the T. So I sprayed it on sanded surface and I sprayed it very thinly at first. But found out that zinsser cover stain sands very nice and fast. So after sanding the first coat to smooth finish, I sprayed it again very thick next time. It was hard around corners where it gets the spray multiful passes over. The trick I found was that you spray past the corner so that corners don’t get as much paint sprayed. Then it got easy. I did all this with red sprayer tip. Then I used SW emerald trim paint in semi gloss and sprayed it with green tip. I also cleaned the tip with wet paper towel every time I stop spraying to prevent from clogging. When I was spraying primer, it wasn’t as perfect finish. But SW emeralds paint sprayed very nicely. I think because that paint was settling flat after spraying and it gave a much better finish. I sanded in between coats on all primers and paints. I got the nearly perfect finish and it feels like velvet. I am satisfied with this purchase. It sprayed so fast. You may want to build a clean dust free plastic tent like area where you can spray it tho. Make sure it’s dust free as much as you can. This blows a lot of air around when it’s on and dust flies everywhere. Make sure to use sticky cloth to clean before spraying. I did a lot of prep work and I think essentially, that’s what made it work the most. Cleaning was awkward at first but after the second time, it got easy. I used dish soap to clean and it came with a little brush cleaner to clean the little spaces. Don’t forget to wear a mask. I forgot to wear it once and inside of my nose hair was all covered in primer! And have a bucket ready by where you paint to have a quick access to run the machine with water. I did it as quick as I could so that paint doesn’t get stuck in the machine. Also I lined the cups with plastic ziplock bags and it did fine with spraying. But if you use one bag multiful times, they rip and leak anyway. I ended up not using the ziplock bag after the second coat of primer. I just put a wrap on top then closed the lid and kept it like that and it worked for the next time. I just mix the paint gently before spraying again. I would use this sprayer for as long as it runs. Oh! And spraying thick with this sprayer is not to hold it in one place for a longer time. Instead I spray it light and have a multiful light passes not stoping at the edge but pass the edge to not have too much paint at the edge. So the question is, is there a nicer sprayer? Probably. I’ve noticed the fine mist sometimes have a thick drop here and there. It was easy to sand it btw. Is it possible to get a factory like finish on cabinet doors with this sprayer? It’s hard and tedious work but yes you can if you do all the prep work combined with this sprayer. I do want to give a very nice expensive one a try when and if this one dies.
