In their words
“This product was easy to set up, use, and clean. My house has hand-split cedar shake shingles and painting it is a slow, arduous nightmare. It would have taken me the better part of a Saturday to put up the first coat on the west end of my house. I learned how to use this, set it up, painted, and cleaned up everything in less than two hours (and that included taking down the downspouts). In years ”

“One of the most worthless piece of junk I've ever bought. I'm sending it back to wagner so they can shove it up their * sideways. Used it multiple times and was not impressed; the last time I tried using it, it started spraying without pressing the trigger... All over my wall. One star is way too high”
