graco magnum DX paint sprayer opinions
I have rented a sprayer from Home Depot in the past and was really impressed with the results. I was surfing around the net and found a deal on the base Graco model. I figured for the price of a couple of days rentals per year I could own one. I am a home owner but help on a few projects and have been doing a big job a couple of times a year. Would this model satisfy me considering the Home Depot one was a Airlessco?

as stated, the pump type is not known for longlife. another consideration is that some equipment like airless sprayers and pressure washer don't seem to take well to not being used. storage prep is very important. i don't know how many times i've had a customer tell me " i only used it once and now it won't work". sometimes rental is the best option.

thanks for getting back to me. I have seen that model between 2-300. I guess my question was will it perform well? If the unit is stored properly cleaned lubed can i expect it to last say 5 years?

Again thanks for the reply. My point is if a unit costs $300 and I spend $80+ every time I rent it and I rent sprayers 4 times a year. In one year I just spent $320. If the one I buy lasts 2-3 years I am ahead of the game. 5 years would be great. Now I still am wondering will a $300 sprayer give me the same results as the one I could rent?

If you are renting four times a year, it may be worth it to get a better unit. You may also be able to pick up a higher-quality freshly rebuilt unit for the same price as that low-end Graco.
