Flexio 890 Sprayer

214.99
The FLEXiO® 890 stationary painting system puts the weight in the integrated storage case on the ground for extended spraying comfort. It can paint a wall 12 times faster than a brush or put a fine finish on furniture saving time and effort.
The FLEXiO 890 paint sprayer comes complete with two nozzles, one for big surface projects like walls and ceilings and the other for small projects and fine finishing on furniture, cabinets and trim. The turbine sits on the ground delivering air power through the hose to spray unthinned coatings with on-handle adjustments to maximize coverage and minimize overspray.
Cleaning is faster than a brush or roller with a few removable parts that rinse clean, and the turbine base holds the hose and nozzles for easy storage.
Covers an 8’x10’ surface in minutes:
-Stain: 1 minute
-Latex: 5 minutes

Once you get the dilution right, this is a dream
Bought this for a decorating project - a room with hundreds of different angles and calls, couldn't face all the cutting in that would be needed for a roller. I'm based in the UK, and our paint is a lot thicker, it seems, I had a lot of splatter to start, but Han in the support team talked me through settings and dilutions - I had to dilute the durable matt emulsion by about 35 percent in the end, but when I finally got it right, it worked like a charm, did 3 coats in two days, and the finish is perfect.

Very valuable tool
I purchased this to paint some 100 year old doors that had so many brush strokes from previous applications that the doors looked terrible. I sanded the old finish smooth with 120 grit sandpaper and then cleaned with a damp cloth. I sprayed the doors with a semi-gloss latex paint and was absolutely stunned by what I accomplished in about 10 minutes. I did apply a second coat but the doors looked almost new and yet all the original hardware still fit and so we can tell they are old doors. I have since used the tool to paint kitchen cabinets and furniture. You will not be disappointed. Clean up takes a little longer than they say it will but I found that starting with a clean tool means cleaning up properly when done. Don't shortcut the process. I have used the product for over one year without any issues.

Great product if lasts enough to finish the projec
Easy to use, and easy to clean. I am very disappointed as unit stopped and never worked again when I moved to backyard to continue the fence job. This was my second time using it and unfortunately passed the warranty period.

Great homeowner's tool!
Opened it up, set it to recommended settings for my latex primer/paint, and had fun painting my house.
All four times it misbehaved were user error. The first was severe drooling and glob-spitting because I didn't realize the black keeper ring came a bit loose when I changed my spray pattern. That ring needs to stay as tight as it goes; I don't think you can overtighten it by hand. Second time, I failed to unscrew the container before taking off the black keeper ring, and air pressure made it barf paint. Third time was glob-spitting, and I was stumped for a while; I thought I had done everything by the book. Figured out the teeny air valve had water in it from the last washing; when dried, worked perfectly again. Fourth time, same spitting, but because the little air hole in the top of the suction tube got paint on it-- I had knocked over the sprayer's container after adding paint. I detail those because the short trouble-shooting section in the booklet didn't give the last two as "how to fix" options.
Some reviews said they took the nozzle apart and soaked it if they took a break, but you don't need to. The air channel and paint channel are separate, so leave the nozzle all together and the paint won't dry anywhere but the exposed tip of the nozzle, which is super easy to wipe clean even when the paint is dry on it; the plastic resists paint cling.
My one gripe is mild: so that the larger material container
can hold as much as it does, it has a rim angle that means it has to be turned absolutely upside-down when pouring paint out. There was always at least a quarter inch left in the bottom that the suction tube couldn't get. I am a female with size 8 hands and can barely hold the bottom of the material container with one hand, so the whole paint-retrieval process is slightly annoying.
As for cleaning, I tried the recommended process of spraying water through before taking apart the nozzle, but prefered to just take it to the sink instead; the latex paint needs more than a rinse to come off because it's so thick.
I carried this rig in pieces up and down a two-story scaffold many times, slightly awkward but very doable. The reach of the hose isn't great if you're using this on a ladder, but any longer and it would get annoying to deal with; it is fairly stiff. I appreciated that I could turn the compressor on and off from the hand unit. The switch is on both sides of the handle, so it's easy to toggle no matter which hand it's in. The compressor's just quiet enough that I didn't need hearing protection (outdoors), and I am sound sensitive.
I'm glad I went for a model with the separate, ground-based turbine, and glad it has its own handled case. And yes, the spray gun holder on that handle is helpful, especially if you are working on uneven ground where the hand unit would fall over by itself.
Thank you, Wagner people, for making this handy little machine!

Ease of use makes this a must have for all DIYers
My husband and I own a small boutique that specializes in Repurposing old furniture. I bought my Flexio 890 last summer and since that time have used it to paint over 250 pieces of furniture. Prior to that I was painting all of our pieces with a brush. This product has been a lifesaver and a huge Timesaver. It also gives an incredibly perfect finish to our pieces that could not be achieved with a brush. The biggest compliment from our clientele is that the pieces we do have such a perfect finish...no brushstrokes...no drips. I was a bit reluctant at first, to use the sprayer thinking there would be paint everywhere. The paint gets on the piece but there is almost no overspray. I was also concerned that after a few uses, it would clog up and that the clean up would take more time than painting with a sprayer would be worth. Not true. The cleanup is very easy and after 250 pieces, it still works perfect every time. I use mine almost everyday and I don't know now how I ever lived without it. No classes required. Fill it with paint and get to work. Your first piece will look like it was painted by a pro.

Lifesaver!!
I recently used the Flexio 890 to paint my 1950's interior walls and was blown away by how fast and effective this tool is. It is quiet and works with ease. It is easy to set up and cleanup. The Flexio 890 has been a lifesaver. I really do not like to paint, but with this by my side I feel like I don't have to spend a whole day doing something I do not enjoy. This is a must buy if you paint a lot! So worth it!

Not for an indoor space painting
a Quick review for Wagner 890 airless paint spray.
Survived from suffocation today. I bought a Wagner airless paint sprayer to save time and energy for paining our new house. However, it turned out that a paint sprayer was not a good idea for painting an indoor space especially about 12X13 size rooms.
1. the room was filled with the paint dusts (I don't know how I call it but the sprayed paint particles) in couple minutes. And with just a 3M dust mask, I couldn't breath properly. So I stopped painting and bought a $60 3M mask to resume (And I realized it was another mistake and money wasting in couple minutes though).
2. In couple minutes later, the dusts covered my safety glass and blocked my sights so that I couldn't even tell how much paint I put on the wall. And the outcome turned out horrible.
Luckily a SW paint shop was close by my house so that I could bought rollers and trays and fixed the issue before it all dried.
However, I wouldn't recommend using paint sprayer for indoor space paining.
I still don't understand how come the reviews on the Wagner site are all 5 stars.

I plan to use this with Benjamin Moore Advance paint for kitchen cabinets. I'll use the detail fine finish nozzle. How much do you recommend thinning the paint? Thanks!
Thin with water up to 20%, but 10% will probably work. You can also a 1 ounce of Floetrol to help it level better, per container of paint. Test on practice piece before the cabinets. Call for more help at 1-800-328-8251.

I want to put a Marine Spar Varnish on my wooden patio furniture. Do I need to thin it or use as is out of the can? Setting for 'sealer'? Thank you. Used my sprayer last year to paint/stain my huge deck and it worked perfectly.
For a furniture finish with Marine Spar Varnish we suggest using the Detail Finish front end nozzle and thin the varnish 5-10% with mineral spirits. Power up and material flow down for the best atomization and apply a wet coat with each pass. For more tips call us at 1-800-328-8251

Is the 890 an “airless” sprayer?
It is not airless. Airless systems use a piston style pump to move paint mechanically. The Flexio 890 is an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayer that uses a turbine to produce airflow for atomizing liquid. On paint cans the description is almost always about an airless sprayer and the specifications that are required. These are completely different specifications than HVLP. That does not mean that HVLP cannot spray or that airless is the only way to spray a certain product. For help deciding which sprayer is right for your projects, call us at 1-800-328-8251.

Does the 890 allow for pulling the paint/stain supply directly from the paint/stain container...including 5 gallon buckets?
The Flexio 890 cannot draw paint from the 5 gallon bucket. That is why we make the Flexio 990 - https://www.wagnerspraytech.com/products/paint-sprayers/flexio-990-paint-sprayer/

What is the difference between the Flexio 890 and the Flexio 5000?
The main difference between the Flexio 890 and Flexio 5000 is the design of the iSpray front end. The new nozzle designed iSpray front end comes with Flexio 5000 will provide paint control with a uniform and contained pattern. Also, the new paint flow dial is numbered for precise and easy setting for the range of coatings the Flexio can spray and easy clean up.

will the 890 work to paint kitchen cabinets
Yes the Flexio 890 can paint your cabinetry. Use the Detail Finish front end nozzle for fine atomization. Thin latex paint 10% with water, spray from 6" away and apply a wet coat with each pass, not 5 passes to get it wet. If the gun spits, power up and paint flow down for better atomization. For more spraying tips call us at 1-800-328-8251.

What is the Newer Model 890 or the 4000 ? What are the differences? Coan I find a comparison chart of the ?000 and the XXX models ? Thanks
The 890 is the old 5000, the 690 is the old 4000. If they have 3 digits, they're old models, 4 digits means they are new. And the difference? The new iSpray front end has fewer parts and a slightly better spray pattern. Otherwise, they are the same. For more help contact us at 1-800-328-8251.

I just bought the Flexio 890. I have never used a paint gun before and I'm wondering if I will need an air compressor for this? If so, what CFM is required?
This is a self contained spray system, no outside parts are required.
