5 years and going! I spray all trim, doors and other odds and ends with this little unit. I replaced the hose and gun as the original did gum up. But for the price, nothing beats it. Thanks for posting this Chris!

Hi Chris....so yeah I am a 67 year old DIY. I purchased this machine to spray my 1500 sq ft single story stucco house, and I got to say it worked like a dream. Not a production unit but for an old geezer that was taking his time it really performed. Over spray was minimal and I pumped 10 gals on the body until I finally pooped out. Pretty easy clean up. I do see the advantage of a hose whip but this is a one off project for me so just used the stock hose.

I bought a Controlmax due to seeing one sitting as a return at Home Depot. Bought it for 220.00 Sprayed a set of cabinets with it and the only thing I noticed compared to my Graco390 or Titan640i is that the lacquer (Kem Aqua, SW Waterborne) landed a bit orange peely on the surface. Ripply. It leveled out ok but still it was an area of concern. For what it's worth, if you bought this machine and dedicated it to your lacquer jobs and averaged 2-3 gallons per job, you may get 60 jobs out of it. The hose is irritating to use as it is quite stiff. Also no "on/off" switch. Other than that it's a solid purchase for the money.

Idaho painter you are the man. Thank you so much for all your videos and your priceless knowledge you freely give out. I'm in kind of a jam right now and don't have my Titan 440 to use. So my question is with this1700 Titan I should have no problem using it on my next job which is an interior trim work/Mill work. I understand it's not for an everyday use. In your opinion Since I'm in a pinch and don't have my 440 doing a few interior jobs with this Sprayer should be just fine. Thank you again for all your help. I find myself watching hours and hours of your videos trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can 👍

This is the difference in a "Homeowner" vs "Professional" grade tools. There are a lot of differences from your Skil, Harbor Freight or Ryobi's homeowner tools and your professional Festool, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch... The quality of the plastics, cords, power, bearing vs bushings, engineering... Professional tools typically work better and last longer, they are more enjoyable to work with. To me spending $600 more for a 440 Impact is a no brainer, even if I were just a DIY'er doing a one time job, I would buy the better tool and then sell it when I was done. I've learned to not buy cheap quality tools, tires, shoes/boots and mattresses. You tend to get the best value buying quality vs price.

I am not 100% sure this machine has the guts to churn out exterior paint. I have experience using airless machine and depending on the square footage of the exterior, you might be better off getting something with a bit more power. At least it will have a higher resell value if you keep it clean.

If you dont want to rent or know someone who can loan you a real sprayer, I would advise buying a better one used or refurbished off of eBay or Craigslist. You can get quality sprayers for just a little bit more than the 400 you'd be wasting on this unit. That is way too much money to throw away on something that has a 175gallon life span and proprietary fittings with unservicable parts. At the very least "upgrade" to the cheapo home depot graco sprayers that have quickly replaceable pumps. This particular unit is just an all around terrible purchase even in its price range .
