An excellent product for the money. Very simple to use and a very simple spray mechanism with few parts and so relatively easy to maintain. Would not hesitate to purchase another. The purchased separately cleaning kit (but not from Amazon apparently) is a must if your going to use it a lot as it will save time cleaning. Bear in mind that it come standard with a 2mm needle which is good for general use but smaller needles are recommended for finer finishes.

I bough this tool for a variety of projects around my house, specifically painting about 14 doors. I am a remodeling contractor by trade and have used a conventional airless sprayer many times in the past but the mess and overspray were always troubling. My business no longer invloves painting but I was looking for a neat and efficient way to paint all the doors in my own house plus a variety of other small projects. Brushing 14 doors just wasn't going to happen. So far the results are better than one might expect for a tool of under $200.
Right away I found that the paint (I have sprayed both latex and oil so far) MUST be thinned A LOT. So much that you may question doing so, but paint that is not thinned enough will come out of the sprayer chunky and make for a poor finish. Follow the manufacturers instructions... use the included viscosity cup and you'll be in good shape. Be sure to filter the paint, again as noted in the instructions. Since this is a large orifice sprayer, any dirt in the paint will come out thru the tip and onto your work. Use Penetrol or Floetrol as opposed to water or paint thinner. Your finish will lay down flatter and cover better with these additives. Clean up is a snap since no paint goes thru the motor. Disassemble the gun, wash the cup and the gun parts and you're done cleaning in about 5 minutes. Overspray is a fraction of what you get with an airless sprayer since there is no bounceback with a low pressure sprayer like this.
All in all a great tool for a homeowner/DIY'er, especially at this price. Probably not ideal for a contractor or heavy duty user. If you can't justify 500-700 dollars or more but need to get some painting done you'll be happy with this tool.

As a hobbyist, I've so far found the Earlex 3000 to be the perfect spray system. I have used it for water-based stain and Polyacrylic finish with great results. The system is easy to use and easy to clean. It's completely self-contained and takes up little storage space in my small shop.

It sprays well with latex and poly. I am happy with the finish. It is an inexpensive tool and therefore has limitations. The hose and cord are short and everything except the needle is plastic. But- it sprays good!

Excellent product, excellent after purchase support. I used the sprayer to put the top coat on 2 oak cabinets I built. Finish is perfect. The sprayer is easy to use with minimun adjustment. I need some additional information. Earlex came through via e-mail quickly and with great detail. I also needed to get an additional spray nozzle which I got from Earlex in a few days. I cannot say enough about the product and the support. Great job Earlex. Thanks
