The [Graco Magnum X5 Airless Paint Sprayer](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Graco+Magnum+X5+Airless+Paint+Sprayer&tag=thetestedhub-20) was the production champ. It shoots unthinned latex and emptied the garage walls in 40 minutes.

I sprayed two rooms, a fence, and a dresser with five electric paint sprayers to find which gives a finish you can actually live with.

FAQs

Do I need to thin paint for an electric sprayer?

For HVLP units, usually yes. Airless sprayers shoot most latex straight from the can. Always check the manual and start with the smallest reduction.

How long does cleanup take?

Plan on 15 to 30 minutes. Latex cleanup is water-only but you must flush the hose, gun, and tip thoroughly or you ruin the next job.
