Customer Reviews for Graco Magnum X5 Airless 3000 PSI Stand Paint Sprayer

I bought the unit a month ago and finally got around to spraying my new 16x20 work shop. Set up was clear and easy and adjusting spray gun was simple. Results were amazing as you will see in the photo. Please keep in mind I have never used an airless sprayer but the results were simply professional in apprearance!

I bought this sprayer a few months ago for many paint projects in our new home, ceilings included! I found it easy to follow the step by step directions and using the sprayer was a breeze. I bought this because I am an elderly female with shoulder issues and the thought of using a sprayer with a tank and on a ladder was daunting. I thought there was rust on the intake screen so I called customer service and sent them a pictures of the screen. They sent me a new one. It turns out the brown color was intended to be there!

Spraying 2000 sq ft no problem Easy to use and clean

Love it! Fully painted 120 ft long 6 ft tall wood fence from both sides. Applied primer first and then finish paint. Didn't need any watering. Result is perfect. Easy to use, easy to clean. Very good quick start guide included.

I bought it a 09/04/29 to do my kitchen painting is so much nicer

I bought this to spray my kitchen cabinets as part of a remodeling project. This was probably way too much to expect of myself or the sprayer, but that has never seemed to stop me in the past. The cabinets are built-ins my wife and I built ourselves 28 years ago having never done anything like that before either! Once I got the hang of it the project overall turned out great. The many angles and surface changes resulted in some overspray drippage, but I found that following up with a touchup roller and straight line edger corrected most of the problems. In retrospect I might have done better with a different spray nozzle, but maybe not. Getting the process started was simple enough but cleanup is pretty messy. I still have to paint the doors, shelves and drawers, but that should be much more straight forward.My next project is house painting which I hope to tackle next spring.

Sprayed my cabin with Sikkens stain. Not a problem with this machine!

I purchased the X5 to paint my latticework and deck railings. The unit performed flawlessly after my learning curve. It did not take long and only used 1 gallon of Paint.

GRACO has made an EXCELLENT product. I used it for the first time, yesterday to paint my garage doors. For a first time user this product (sprayer) is so EASY to use. You just have follow the directions, which are EASY to understand for a first user or from my opinion. I'm attaching a picture of the 2 garage doors that I painted. The big one was a brand new one all white that was a replacement and the small one was a faded and needed a paint job. Thanks! Richard

Bought the tool because I was unable to rent a sprayer locally, read many reviews on different brands and decided on Graco. It was fairly easy to set up, use and clean. I took some time to watch some of the videos on Gracos site and YouTube, all were very helpful. I sprayed 15 gallon of Dutchboy Forever, white satin. Machine worked well and did a great job paying the paint on 50 year old brick that had a unusually rough finish. I would recommend buying this tool if you have a good sized project and like to do things yourself.

Wife and I bought the X5 and we absolutely love it. We have used it on multiple projects and the only time we’ve had a problem is when we used recycled paint. Fresh paint works perfectly and clean up is a breeze. With the roller attachment we painted an entire house in one day. With the sprayer I was able to paint 2 coats in one day. I highly recommend this airless sprayer

This Prayer Has made my home projects easy.And plus i do side work sprayed paid off almost 7 times fold already...

I Just Love my X5 sprayer!!! Bought the 30" extension and additional 50' hose. Painted the entire 1600 square foot house and block walls!!! Painted the interior 4bedrooms, 2 halls in under an hour and a half! Was so excited and pleased with the results, I continued with the remaining rooms, kitchen, family room. Bought more paint and sprayed the entire exterior, patio and block walls in 4 hours!! House looks fabulous and ready to sell. If I would have tried to paint this house by hand, roller/brush it would have taken weeks to complete and I would not even considered painting the outside. Set up and cleaning is a snap if you follow the directions and the use of the laminated quick directions is superb. Be sure to Clean all parts and filters, especially the filter In the gun handle! I plan to paint 2 more houses/sheds this year! Thanks Graco!

Replaced a Titan sprayer that gave out after about 6 years of use. This sprayer is 10 times better, primes faster, sprays non thinned latex like glass. Painted an 800 square foot basement, walls and ceiling, base trim, cabinets. Using tip sizes 313, up to the included 515. Sure it makes some over spray., that's why you tape and plastic wrap items first. It's not a HVLP. so for those saying to much over spray, it's not that much, and it's expected with this type of sprayer. Overall this is by far the best airless sprayer for the money.

Bought a couple weeks ago, did great in bathroom. Quite a bit more overspray than expected. Make sure you cover everything

Best purchase ever! We painted our home several years ago by hand. Took forever. Bought this bad boy for our current paint job and I am pleased! Literally took no time at all. Yes, we taped off for all overspray, however, this is the easiest and most efficient product I own. This was bought at your store and I would STRONGLY recommend people buy this to make life easier. Professional looking results.

Its practical to transport and it does it job

The Magnum X5 is very cheap and the finished is very good, and you can apply any material It is very light and easy to clean,I recommend 100%

I bought this to help my son remodel a building. We used this sprayer a BUNCH and it just chugged along flawlessly. And the best part was clean up was a snap!

Easy setup with an illustrated and laminated quick start guide. I used Behr Premium Plus exterior Semi Gloss without thinning and the rig worked flawlessly with 75’ of hose. I will never go back to rollers and brushes. I am very pleased with the results.

This little sprayer has held up extremely well! Ive used this sprayer to spray well over 200 gallons of fence stain over the year and have yet to run into any issues. Sprayed fifty gallons in one week with this thing. Recently uograded to a bigger pump but as long as you clean out the sprayer each time it will hold up well. Excellant sprayer to start our with

Smooth and easy to work with. I really cut so much time in painting the exterior of the house.

Performed as advertised

I'm a DIYer and I had never painted anything before. I did my research and found this bad boy! AMAZING! So easy to use but make sure you follow all the directions - takes a while at first but then it becomes so easy to use. Clean up takes a little longer but it's worth it. I sprayed my bathroom cabinets and I'm thrilled with the results. The sprayer comes with a tip but for my project I needed to buy an additional tip (FFLP 310). I ended up spraying Benjamin Moore Advance because I wanted a water-based paint and I've heard really good things about Advance. I did not have to thin anything - the sprayer handled the paint and primer. I also used a water-based primer - Smart Prime - and the results were equally amazing. Never had to thin any of products. As long as you keep the coats thin there shouldn't be any issues with the orange peele look everyone complains about. When spraying, all you need to do is figure out the proper pressure which you can figure out based on the tails. And then start spraying! My tip never got clogged but I would occasionally spray out the tip to make sure that didn't happen.

Dreaded Las Vegas November 2018 project: 211 linear feet varying 4' to 6' height concrete block wall and attached 85 feet of iron grating. If it's something I can do, I am not going to pay someone else to do it. My bonus is that I own some very nice equipment, while saving money instead of hiring it done. X5 preparation for painting instructions AND cleanup instructions are very well explained, step by step. EASY. I easily sprayed 5 gallons of exterior Latex primer on the concrete blocks … I loved it, so quick and so easy and approximately 50 minutes spray time for that 1390 sq feet of block. Let the paint set for 1 hour, changed buckets to the Latex color coat and sprayed that … Unbelievable, I am so happy I bought the X5. One week later I taped off the concrete block, and after grunt work of sanding the iron, I primed with 2 gallons Latex premium exterior red oxide primer … 4 hours dry time, following day I sprayed 2 gallons of premium color coat. I bought the best paint I could, because I never want to steel wire brush that grating ever again. The X5 worked wonderfully .. I am pleased … I now own a sprayer that I am very comfortable with operating, and will use it in the future for stucco trim work and stucco house paint maintenance. I am 66 years old … Cleanup is messy. You are working with paint! What do you expect when cleaning up paint? Brushes or rollers - doesn't make a difference, it is messy.

It is a good toy for painting Easy to carry and store very handy

Works great easy to use

First job was a timber framed structure and it performed excellently. First time using a power sprayer and I can honestly say the only thing better than the sprayer itself was the directions. Nothing but positive from me.

I bought the sprayer a month ago to stain both sided of a 170 ft new cedar fence. It worked very well, no mess (other than my doing), easy to start up, no problem cleaning up.

Just thought I would paint our house this summer. I believed a sprayer would create to much over-spray and would be difficult to mask everything. I found for the body of the house it was amazing, the speed and ability to contain the over-spray was not as much as a problem as first thought. The order of spraying was so important to control areas to o-s. Overall very satisfied
