Graco Magnum 2800 psi Metal Airless Paint Sprayer, 15 lb, Adjustable Pressure, 50 ft Hose

I have a 30 year old Graco with a Baldor motor, still working great for bigger jobs. I bought this little one for some small jobs at home. It works good, nice soft spray great for beginners. Start up has a lot of steps, seems like it has a lot of unnecessary ones

This is the second time I have bought a sprayer in 30 years. The old one was another brand and never worked well so I wrote off buying another sprayer for over a decade. I wish I had tried Graco years ago. I unpacked this machine, put it together and browsed over the instructions all in about 30 minuets. Put the pick up into a 5 gallon bucket of semi gloss exterior paint , turned it on , primed it and went to work in 5 minuets. The results? Fantastic! it was so easy and fast I could not believe it! Over the next 4 hours and both sides of 400 feet of fence I kept waiting for something to break, clog up etc. But it never did. I ended up running 15 gallons through it with zero problems. I had to stop a few times to take a break or go get more paint from the store, so I would clean it so the paint did not dry in the unit. Basic clean takes about 10 to 15 minuets for the water based paint and 15 to 20 minuets for oil based just because I go slower. Also so far I have not had to thin the paints, even when painting in 60degree weather.
