For the past few days, I've been looking at different Paint Sprayers. I want to spray my house, approx 1,500 sq ft. My budget is $150... What's good out there? This one looks good at Home Depot.

honestly i would not buy it. hubby bought a wagner paint sprayer (not from HD) so he could paint our home. The first one was returned, the SECOND one ended up in the woods (i dragged it out and returned it). We rented a commerical grade sprayer from our local hardware store and it worked beautifully and did not clog like the wagner did (which is why it ended up in the woods - that and the thing wasted at least an entire GALLON of paint).
i would say save your money and use a paint brush. By the time you are done properly prepping your house you could almost be done. Not to mention the paint clogs and potential spattering.

I need to listen and won't buy the small spayer. To many people saying the same thing (various sites, inspector etc) and I don't want to waste paint. So what if the old fashioned way takes longer, it will get done.
I tried one of those Wagners a while back... that thing was EVIL!!! It created more work than it accomplished. I hated it. Either spend more to buy (if you're an investor you will get your money's worth) or go to a rental shop, but use one of the big ones like the professional painters use.
For all of my new construction I have subs that do the work, but when I buy a fixer-upper to flip I still do the work myself. Even with the professional sprayer I find that I still have to go over the wall with a roller to get uniform coverage.

I agree 100%..............Wagner = EVIL.............rent professional............and roll over imperfections!
