| Reviewer: E. Rodriguez, Miami, FL |
| My wife and I just purchased our first home and she really dislikes popcorn ceilings. So she insisted that we have it removed and put up a knockdown texture in it's place. Then after a few estimates, the cheapest we could get it done to our whole house was for a little under $3000 which was more that what we were willing to spend with all the other things that we needed to have done to the house. So I priced out all the materials needed and my estimate came in at about $900. Keep in mind that this price is also including the cost of the tools needed (ex. 1/2" drill, trowel, paint primer, sprayer, ect.) which I didn't own.
Anyway, after going to my local Home Depot, they wanted about $60 a day to rent a sprayer and since I wanted to take my time, this really wasn't an option. I know that Wagner states that this sprayer is really for touch up jobs and not exactly for doing a whole house but let me tell you, I did my whole house and it worked great. After practicing a bit in the rooms first, my results were identical to a professional job at 1/3 the price. I will tell you this, it is a lot of work and the hardest thing about it is removing the popcorn and preping the room. I know some people say to use a garden sprayer and then they sell this neat little scraper at Home Depot that you can attach a bag to so you don't make a mess but that scrapper is junk. If you want to move fast, tape up the walls and floor using plastic sheeting and use a garden hose with a 10 or 12 inch taping knife to remove the popcorn. You'll barely scratch the sheet rock underneath and you'll remove the popcorn in under 30 minutes per room. The whole process is truly a huge mess but the end result is a very nice looking textured wall. I decided to go with the medium nozzle (yellow) and I ended up with a very nice looking texture that isn't as bold and some of the houses I've seen. So if you're in the same situation my wife and me were in and you're fairly competent with tools, you'll be able to do the same thing because I'm a complete novice when it comes to drywall textures and I ended up with a great looking house. I'll also be honest and tell you that the first room I did, didn't come out as nice as the last but not because I applied the texture incorrectly but because I knocked some of it down too soon. Make sure you wait at least 20 minutes before knocking it down and after you spray a wall, take a step back and if you see any bare placed, just go over it with a quick trigger pull and you'll be amazed at what you're left with. |

| I am rehabing a home in Tampa, florida, and tried with mixed results to use the spray texture cans from Home Depot . six cans with six different poor results. I purchased this sprayer, shot an entire bathroom with AWSOME results. I LOVE IT. Buy one |

| I was sprucing up the garage and had about 50 linear feet of drywall that I wanted to texture. I purchased a 3.5 gallon bucket of ready mixed texture from Home Depot for around $10, but it still needs water to thin down to the proper consistency. I ended up dumping the texture into a 5 gallon bucket which made it easier to mix. (You definitely need a drill with one of the mixing attachments)
I had also purchased some 3' wide plastic which I taped to the bottom of the wall to keep the floor clean. Well, this thing makes quite a mess, and 3' was not enough. I would have been better off just covering the whole floor, but oh well. Definitely practice a bit - I ended up using the medium sized nozzle for the look I wanted. Also, loop the power cord around so that the connection won't pull apart - I stepped on the extension cord at one point and it pulled out, causing a big "spit" of mud on the wall when the sprayer died. One other thing to look out for is when filling the hopper - you can rotate it to the front for doing ceilings, or towards the back for walls. I set the sprayer on the floor and poured the texture compound into the hopper from my bucket - but with the hopper towards the front, as soon as I turned away to set the bucket down, the hopper fell over :( So if your going to fill the hopper by setting it on the floor, rotate the hopper to the back or be careful. One other thing that I was glad I bought was a drywall "squeege" for the knockdown. It looks like a window squeege, with a rubber edge and is about 24" wide. It worked much better than a metal drywall knife that I also tried using. All in all, it was a lot of work, it made quite a mess, but I was very pleased in the way it turned out. Clean up was very easy, and I would definitely but this sprayer again. Now that I have some experience with it, there are some places inside my house that need some work... |

| Im a professional drywall finisher of over 10 years, and think this thing is great. No more hauling in a heavy texture rig and dirty hose for patch jobs. For the do-it-yourselfer $100 it isn't much more than a regular hopper and gun that requires a compressor. Great price for a sweet sprayer. |
