WagnerAirless ControlPro 250R Paint Sprayer for interior and exterior wood, metal, wall and ceiling paints, covers 15 m² in 2 min, 110 bar, adjustable spray pressure, 9 m hose

Sometimes it is better to buy the original / best brand so I decided to replace another problem sprayer with this one.It works well, is well made and nice to use.It suffers from the same problem of wasted paint and horrible cleanup that all sprayers suffer from. It uses about 1.0 - 1.2l of paint by the time it is primed and reaches the spray nozzle. I haven’t managed to achieve spraying with no oversray / spray dust as claimed in the blurb but maybe more fiddling with pressure / practice may help.Finish achieved is perfect; I am not new to spraying but not a pro.

Garden renovation. I quite like the texture of block work so thought I would give it a go painting them. I’ve painted exterior masonry before… it’s a slog and the results are generally not favourable with a roller, in my view.Enter the Control Pro 350M. This machine is absolutely fantastic. It gets right into the block work and the finish is just spectacular. Preparation is key, it’s incredibly boring and hard on the knees but get yourself some duct tape and a big roll of brown Kraft paper and just cover everything. Today was really gusty. There was the odd spray that just disappeared over the horizon. This could be an issue so be careful as you don’t want to spend the next weekend scrubbing overspray off your neighbours windows. However, even under these suboptimal conditions it worked extremely well.I sprayed a coat of farrow and ball Masonry & Plaster Stabilising Primer (diluted 10%, dial on 2) and it worked extremely well. Make sure you clean everything well straight away after this and wear a face mask while spraying.Left that for 24 hrs and then 2 coats (separated by about 2 hrs) of farrow and ball exterior masonry paint, colour was Inchyra blue. The result was top notch. I diluted by 25% and had the dial on 3, this delivered hardly any blobs/dribbles and any that did just rub them off straight away with wet cloth.There was the odd spot that did I did not mask well enough and got covered (to my dismay) but wife strode out confidently with some nail polish remover and sorted it out. Solid.Btw:- You don’t need the extension unless you’re painting ceilings.- Mix paint really well with a drill.- I’ve never sprayed, watch a few YouTubes, it’s easier than I expected.- Preparation is a pig. However, it is the key to great results, stick a podcast on and get in with it.-if you get dribbles, dilute a further 5-10% and turn pressure up 1/2 a notch.- Cleaning isn’t that bad, you’ve done the work so crack a beer and just clean it.- I’m so impressed with the results I would happily use it for a single, small room. Even though rolling would be quicker and less hassle.

The media could not be loaded. I don't see the point of writing reviews on the item being delivered - we all know how good Amazon delivery is so what's the point? You want to know how I got on with the product right? - Here goes:I got got this sprayer for a large home renovation project, and it’s been an absolute game-changer! This paint sprayer is packed with features that make it an excellent choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals.Impressive Coverage and EfficiencyOne of the standout features of this sprayer is its incredible coverage. It easily covered 15 m² in just 2 minutes, significantly speeding up my painting project. Whether I was working with dispersion/latex paints or varnishes and glazes, the sprayer delivered a smooth and even coat every time. The time saved alone made this purchase worth it.Adjustable Spray Pressure for PrecisionThe adjustable spray pressure is another great feature. It allowed me to fine-tune the spray to suit different surfaces and types of paint. Whether I needed a lighter touch for delicate areas or full power for large surfaces, the ControlPro 250 R handled it all with ease. The 110 bar pressure is more than enough to get the job done quickly and effectively.Long Hose for Easy ManeuverabilityThe 9-meter hose is a fantastic addition, giving me plenty of flexibility to move around without constantly repositioning the sprayer. This was especially useful when painting larger areas, as I didn’t have to worry about being tethered too close to the base unit. It’s a small detail, but it made a big difference in the overall ease of use.Durable and Well-DesignedThe build quality of the WAGNER ControlPro 250 R is top-notch. It feels sturdy and well-constructed, designed to last through many projects. The unit is also surprisingly compact for its power, making it easy to store when not in use. The design is intuitive, and setting it up was straightforward, even for someone who isn’t a professional painter.Con: Tricky CleanupThe only downside I’ve encountered is the cleanup process. It’s quite tricky and needs to be done thoroughly to maintain the quality of the spraying. If you don’t clean the equipment properly, it can affect performance in future projects. While this is a bit of a hassle, it’s a small price to pay for the overall quality and efficiency this sprayer provides.Final ThoughtsOverall, I’m extremely satisfied with the WAGNER Airless ControlPro 250 R Paint Sprayer. It delivers on its promises with impressive coverage, easy adjustability, and a long hose for added convenience. The cleanup is a bit of a chore, but it’s essential to keep the sprayer in top condition. Despite this minor inconvenience, it’s been a great investment for my renovation projects, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient paint sprayer!
