Flexio 5000 HVLP Stand Paint Sprayer Stationary

I purchased my first Wagner Flexio 590 sprayer several years ago and used it on many projects. I recently purchased the Flexio 5000 and I am so pleased with its performance! I use my sprayer weekly as I am a furniture builder and refinisher.

I have been spraying furniture built by me for 30 years with all kinds of guns and a compressor...now my shop is small and I needed to reinvent my technique.. This system is more than adequate for the quality I need...which is high I built a knock down spray booth with a box fan and furnace filters for exhaust... it works great...should have done this years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about a month ago. So easy to use. But what I love the most is how it's so easy to clean. I don't have to wonder if I got all the paint out of the brush. It was so easy to use too.... The problem I'm running into is not enough furniture to paint ;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Flexio 5000 comes in a plastic box that has the integrated turbine, where all the components are stored, which makes it easy to transport and store. It has two nozzles, one to work large surfaces without having to dilute, including latex and another for finer materials and finishes, such as oil-based paints, lacquers and others. The hose is long, giving greater comfort to cover large surfaces. The manual details the adjustments to the sprayer according to the type of paint and finishing and handling of the equipment, which avoids guess work when using it. There were splattering problems when using sprayer with latex paint. I had to dilute the material to achieve an acceptable finish. I conclude that this sprayer offers good performance possibilities, but has a learning curve to improve its use and results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Wagner spray equipment for a long time, mainly a MotoCoat unit that gave me flexibility and speed in painting walls, wood and wrought iron fences, furniture pieces, etc. The key word is PAINTING! Since getting the Flexio 5000, I was impressed with the improved controls - the ability to fine tune the material flow and turbine power right at the gun gave me better quality and repeatability in a couple of small (approx. 10'x10') painting/touch-up projects. Plus the clean-up was much simpler. The results were so much better than the MotoCoat that I decided to up my game and try spraying water based polyurethane for the first time! I had some wooden pieces for a wedding that were at the poly finishing phase. Normally I use a 50% naphtha thinned oil-based poly and wipe on 8-10 coats. This time I went with General Finishes water based poly and sprayed it un-thinned. After a few test sprays on cardboard, I went to work. The results were super! I could spray smoothly and control the flow (just remember to still wipe the nozzle every 5 minutes or so). Plus the GF poly would dry so that I could reposition the work and respray in a couple of hours. This was critical with the barrel (see pics) since all surfaces had to be finished and the is no "back side". A turntable was helpful here. Plus with water based poly, clean up was straight forward!! Bottom line is the Flexio 5000 is a definite "step-up" for me in control and has expanded my approach to finishing my woodworking/furniture projects. Hats off to Wagner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer: I received this Wagner Flexio 5000 free for an honest review. This sprayer system came right at the perfect time. I build and refinish furniture and this arrived when I was given a project I had to get perfect (My mother-in-law's mid-twentieth-century sewing table from her grandmother). Upon opening the box, I was greeted with a nicely organized all-in-one package. Once I got past the awkward latch and could look inside at the machine, all I could see was a shiny sea of plastic. Initially I was hesitant with this worrying about the durability, fit, finish and longevity. After looking over everything and reading the owner's manual, which was informative and well put-together with good descriptions and pictures (There are numerous ways you can adjust each nozzle and gun), I decided it was time to make ready my mother-in-law's sewing table. I removed all the hardware, stripped all the wood down to natural and fixed what was broken. Everything was sanded to 220 grit and I prepared a spot I could spray. I got the detail finish nozzle ready and cross my fingers (I don't want to be sitting at the kid's table for Thanksgiving!) The first coat of stain poly mix went on okay. There was more overspray than I wanted and a few places it went on too thick. After looking at the manual again I made even more adjustments (I forgot about the one on the trigger). And the second coat was perfect (I sanded out all the overspray from the first coat). There was much less over spray and a very consistent spray pattern. After one more coat it looked better than Factory-Perfectly even and smooth with great penetration! My mother-in-law had tears in her eyes (so I get to stay at the adult table for Thanksgiving!!) I used mineral spirits for the cleanup and, although it took longer than 5 minutes, but not much longer, everything looks new again. It was very easy to take the head apart and clean all of the pieces. I love that everything fits inside the case so that you have everything right there. My wife really liked the carry handles innovative ways to tuck away when not in use and act as the sprayers holder when working. The hose length is good (I had all the reach I needed). All the plastic held up very nicely and has a sturdier feel than I expected. I wouldn't use it for shop use, but for the DIY'er at home, it works amazing. Once you get it dialed in, the overspray with the detail nozzle is minimum. I did try the ispray nozzle with latex paint (unthinned) and it did shoot it out. However I wouldn't use it unless you have a whole room or more to use it. It's bigger and uses more air (therefore more overspray), so more prep is needed to contain it all. Both are much faster than a brush.In fact you will need to spend more time and prep and cleaning than actual spraying. Both worked extremely well, but I prefer the detail finish nozzle. If you are a home owner looking to paint rooms and/or redo old furniture with little efforts and good to great results than this is a great machine for you and one that I would recommend to friends. A very solid 4 stars. If anyone is still sitting on the fence consider this: Before I received this I was planning on giving it away after a thorough use and review. I have another sprayer from a different company that I love, but this one was just so easy to use and clean up and leaves such a good finish that I am adding it to my tool arsenal. I will happily keep it because I'm getting fantastic results.

This unit made things much easier and faster than the conventional way to paint. I recommend this product to anyone who could afford, and it's not expensive by any means.

Just perfect for what I needed.

Very easy to use, easy to clean , light weight. Overall, good performance.

We painted our 18 yr old oak kitchen cabinets. Doors, Drawers, boxes. Lots of peep work involved. The job came out beautiful. The sprayer did a great job.Easy to clean and easy to use.
