2600 Wagner HVLP  May 08, 2002 By Duffy Z. Baum
I've never used the HVLP system before but absolutely love the finish. The quality is smooth and easy w/any material I've used so far, mostly latex paint and shellac. I'm furious that it only comes w/one spray gun and a second costs almost as much as the entire unit. Otherwise I would have given the system 5 stars. It would be very handy to have a second cup so that you can at least run water through the gun to clean it w/out emptying the one cup that came w/it. Plus, it's very difficult (if not impossible) to find a gun from another company to fit the Wagner specs.

Good Product - Poor Product Support  Feb 01, 2005 By Kenneth Haynes
I purchashed the 2600 from Amazon to use in my custom entertainment center cabinet business. Most of my finishes are of stained maple using stain and poyyurethane top coat. Out of the box this unit performed great for the first couple of times. I sprayed the stain with perfect control and blended the color perfectly. The poly finish coats went on smooth as silk. Over spry was a little more that I expected, but much less that the conventional syphon spray rig used previously.

I was very disappointed with the check valve which was difficult to clean and being small and delicate was easy to loose, which I did after about the forth cleaning. I installed a new tube and used it without the check valve for several weeks, but had to be careful not to tip the gun or overfill the cup or I got gobs of spray on the project.

I tried to get a replacement for the check valve, but all the listed parts dealers were mostly small lawn mower shops, and when I call them they said they no longer support the Wagner Product.

Last week I had a major failure with the turbine compressor and the motor burned up. I called the factory for support and they informed my they do not have any factory support, no longer make this unit and I had to call someone on the warranty list for help. Everyone on the list I called no longer support the product. Looks like I am "up the creek"

My advice is to pay a little more money and get a product that will perform, but can get support for the product. These things do weare and get damaged through normal use and product support is essential. I am experienced at spray applications, and although the product did perform extremly well for the price, without support it is worthless. Don't waste your money!

excellent performance at a fair price  Jan 14, 2004 By S. Bradford "scottfbradford"
I should have purchased a sprayer years ago! I used to dread painting-especially intricate things like picket fences or railings. But this sprayer is convenient to use and easy to clean. I can now paint a 6-panel door in under 5 minutes when it used to take me 15-20 minutes with a brush. And I can clean up the sprayer faster than I could clean a roller or brush! Since it is an HVLP sprayer, overspray is very minimal compared to high pressure sprayers-minimal paint cloud. Plus it is quieter than my compressor. Wagner makes some smaller and cheaper HVLP sprayers that would probably be adequate for spraying stains and laquers, but for spraying latex paint I would get this model (paint still should be thinned). My only complaint is that the power cord is too short-only 6 ft. 10-12 feet would be much better for reaching outlets higher up on a wall. If you can afford it, get this machine-it makes painting easy, fast, and enjoyable when you see the smooth results.
