Purchased the sprayer to paint over popcorn ceiling.
It worked fine initially but after I refilled the container, it stopped spraying. I had to keep clicking the on/off trigger to finish the most of the room (10ft by 11ft) and then it stopped completely. I cleaned it and tried to make sure all internal areas were paint free. I tried spraying with just soapy water to see it worked and nothing came out. I finished the rest of the ceiling with rollers.
Again, it was the 1st time for me and I tried to follow the instructions step by step but it stopped working.
I returned it.
Consstopped spraying
No, I do not recommend this product.

I pulled it out of the box, followed all the instructions exactly and started spraying. Within 2 minutes the spray quality diminished to a worthless quality and within seconds after that the piston seized. I had to disassemble it to get the piston unstuck, reassemble it to finish the small area I was painting and within 10 seconds it seized again. So I stupidly gave this piece o' junk the benefit of the doubt and cleaned every last little piece to use it the next day. I reassembled it, oiled the piston with more oil than BP spilled into the ocean, and this time it worked for 5 minutes! Then same old story. I'm sure Wagner won't let this be posted on their website, but everyone needs to know to not buy this.

Bought sprayer thinking I could save some time.I needed to paint
the entire inside and outside of a house I just remodeled,Gun worked about 45 seconds before it splatterd paint all over my new windows. Then the gun leaked all over my hand. After making sure everything was tight I tried the hose directly from the can,It leaked terrible.Made a real mess of everthing. I did not even bother to clean gun. By this time my co-worker had already finished rolling the other bedroom.Would not recomend this gun
Consleaky, noisy, worthless, waste of time

What kind of oil do I have to buy for use when cleaning the machine? The book tells me cleaning oil but doesn't specify if it's just machine oil or a special one. And I can't seem to find it on Amazon.

6' tube for 5.4GPH?

Your website says that the Power Painter (not Project, Plus or Max) comes with a 6' pickup tube; unfortunately, I don't think this is true- but if it is, please may I have one, since mine didn't come with one...?!
So far I'm loving using it, but I'd love not to have to stop so often to fill up!

I am sorry for the confusion that the wording on the website may have caused, but the Power Painter Plus does not come with the remote suction set. The remote suction set is an optional accessory and can be purchased through Wagner by contacting us at 1-800-328-8251.
