Graco Magnum X5 (262800) Airless Paint Sprayer

I bought this in from the USA a month ago , used it today for the first time just now and I have to say it’s absolutely brilliant . It was recommended to me by a freind in France . I sprayed an old 1930s pebbledash house it took a total of four hours it’s a detached three bedroom . The machine worked faultlessly . I sprayed sandtex smooth but I did thin it by 10 percent , to be honest I think it would have coped fine with it straight from the tin . It took me a good hour to clean it properly after I had finished but I’m fussy anyways . It quiet efficient and very well put together . You need to be a bit experienced and get everything in place before you start go round make sure you can reach everywhere but it really is so fast . I used a builders 110 volt 3ka transformer with a lead I bought from eBay because it is 110 volt you have to use a transformer they can be picked easy enough . . It really saved me a hell of a lot of time and the paint went on really thick . My neighbour came out and said he couldn’t believe how quick I got it done and how quiet it was .

Wasn't happy when it turned up with an American plug on it, amazon shouldn't put these on uk sites.

Company changes name but is selling Non CE Marked machine into the UK I have escalated this to Amazon.

The sprayer arrived without a hose. And or information that the power supply would need adaptation. Looks good. But will cost significantly more to use with additions.

Used once and then went to use it again and it has burnt out! Really not happy with this machine

Nothing wrong with these sprayers, if purchased and used in the USA, which is the market they are designed for. These are USA spec machines with USA spec electrics. 110v 60hz motor. UK is 240v 50hz. More importantly, it is illegal to sell these machines into the United Kingdom or EU as they are not UKCA or CE marked. They are not warranted by Graco for use the UK or Europe. Graco's distributors in the UK or Europe will not touch them, because they will not have the parts and that they are not UKCA or CE marked. Lastly if you electrocute yourself and die while using this sprayer then, your spouse, partner or whoever will not be able to sue Graco. You could sue the seller but good luck with that!

Haven't used yet due to power outlet issues in uk at 240v

This sprayer worked out well, it was easy to setup and operate. The quality of the spray gun is top-notch, this sprayer was spraying thick house paint with no problems and no thinning. Highly recommend this sprayer for anyone who has a good size project to paint. Clean up is a little tedious, but take your time and do it right and it will last a while.

First time sprayer user here. Instructions were awesome, on a placard not paper, and easy to refer back to at any time, which I sure did. Extremely easy to set up the machine, took no practice to use it, and wow does that thing put out paint! This weekend I pressure washed, dried then primed and painted TWO 20 foot long, 8 feet wide, 8 feet high steel cargo containers. This machine made it an absolute joy to do (as much as one can enjoy such a project on a hot humid day anyways...) The only area where I had an issue was of my own doing: I used paint I'd opened prior and had reshaken, not thinking about all the small pieces of dried primer and paint I'd encounter. The filter in the spray handle worked great, the filter on the intake was easy to clean albeit messy, and the best part was the nozzle - you flip it around to blow it out, flip it back to continue spraying - super simple and effective. I'd give this machine more than 5 stars if I could!!

Good quality, but delayed delivered, shipping time was so long & customer care was not good

la había visto antes pero se me hacia muy cara y despues de pintar un cuarto de 30m2 (sellador + pintura) y de sufrir un tremendo dolor de espalda por varios dias, decidí invertir y comprarla. la semana siguiente pinté una pared de 15mX2.5m y puedo decir que me tardé mas en preparar la máquina y la pintura que en pintar, si vale la pena. pros: - ahorra tiempo y esfuerzo pintando. - no necesitas diluir la pintura y por ende necesitas aplicar menos manos. - pinta continuo todo una cubeta de pintura sin tener que estar rellenando vasitos, solo pones la manguera en la cubeta, preparas la máquina y listo, hasta que se acabe la pintura. - máquina de calidad. - si se atasca la pistola solo le das la vuelta a la boquilla, apriestas el gatillo para limpiarla, le vuelves a dar la vuelta a la boquilla y sigues pintando normal. cons: - es cara - necesitas ventilacion (si vas a pintar en un cuarto cerrado USA MASCARILLA) - necesitas encintar lo que no quieres que se pinte por que avienta mucha pintura - la máquina tiene su curva de aprendizaje. - solo es recomendada para pinturas a base de agua. si piensas pintar toda una casa o cuartos muy grandes, si te la recomiendo, te vas a "ahorrar" en dolores de espalda y tiempo.

First time buying and using a spray gun system that is over $400! But the result is definitely worth every penny! I’ve tried a few of those air sprayer that cost around $50-$70, but preping process just took too long since you have to thin out the paint, and you can’t even put a quart of paint in the canister and the ending result wasn’t satisfactory! But this baby is the king!! Beautiful smooth finish!! I used eggshell paint for my basement and after the paint dries off you can’t even see any streaks, and the best part is the time that it saved me!! Only took me about 2hrs to finish the paint job that would normally takes me about a day to finish!
