11/26/2023 0 Comments Graco ultra max ii 490![]() I will note as much as I hated cleaning the hopper on the PaintCrew, the lid was nice to reduce solvent evaporation and keep leaves and grass out next time I'll have to find something to cover the bucket, but with 3 screens it didn't cause any issues. The PaintCrew being gravity fed could operated on less than a quart this needs over a half gallon just to fill the line & suction hose and keep the suction screen submerged - yet I still think it cleans up easier. The 50 foot hose sure beat the 30foot hose, but the Wagner was so portable I didn't really realize it until I had the 50. The twist tip (turn to clean) and nozzle angle were also "finger touch" opposed the Wagner gun. The tip seems to shoot a bit more defined pattern, but most of all, between the available volume and the servo style controller, it was amazingly consistant! I actually put out more paint vs time, and consumed less per square foot to achieve the same or better coverage.įurther, the gun comes with a built-in swivel : Talk about a time and wrist saver. But it is so responsive, and fits so nice, that thought passed quick. The pump was full of shipping fluid not rust! For that long siphon hose, it sure primed up easy I split the prime return hose away from the siphon and never even got paint on or through the prime return (one less thing to clean).Īfter the 4finger gun with a pretty easy pull on the Wagner, I was at first a bit unsure about the stiff 2finger Graco. Still not quite 10 gallons through it, but I LIKE IT!!! ![]() $200 more but upon the above, still a no brainer. Soooo, a little more head scratching: the 490 has the same pump & gun as the 395, the 495, and 595: parts no problem! This also has the brushless motor and SmartControl2. Think it may be an inport, but didn't bother to check.Īnyway, no highboys left in anything under multi-gun units, but they had 390 and 490 stand units! If spending that much I wanted to roll it around with 5gallon buckets, but realized the stand does have merit in flexibility - and is cheaper. The salesman recomended using a Graco gun with it instead of the stock gun.ĥ. the 2155 being "entry level" I wasn't sure whether it's parts were closer to SprayTech's BigBoxStore units or professional unitsģ. Upon me saying this (in more polite terms), he noted he was familar with the 770 but didn't stock them noting they're considered "paper plates." Yep, I agreed!Ģ. The salesman did try to steer me slightly toward a SprayTech 2155, butġ. They had the Graco line and a cabinet full of all the wearing parts! While the seleciton was getting narrow, the sale was around 25% off on Graco units. Ok, I go to town to spend $10.00 to save a $100 sprayer (on sale at Menards again), but now I don't care if I have to spend 5 or 10 times that to have a real tool! Alas, a couple block before SW, I see Diamond Vogel scrolling Fall Sale on sprayers. Nobody had them! Actually, the couple people I spoke with essentially told me people just get a new unit instead - one noted I could get parts online.īy the time I got to HomeDepot, was : I don't want something I can't get parts for! HomeDepot (who stocks Graco Magnum ) was kind enough note that Sherwin Williams might have the rest of the Graco Line (Dakota Spray, the only Graco dealer I could think of, pulled out of Sioux Falls the SF guy was a moron - he tried to sell me a floormodel 490 last year, but all the moving parts had rust-rings from sitting in pure water ). ![]() ![]() I put over 15 gallons through it, half of that this year (I winterized it with hydraulic oil & a bit of mineral spirits, after thoroughly cleaning it - I believe these are notorious for not making a second year so it got as much care as one of these has ever had) however, it started knocking out valve o-rings on the inlet assembly progressively faster.so. Actually, it did alright for it's cheap construction a bit inconsistant as the pump is still undersized for the gun, but I'm backbrushing anyway. But wanted to get started, so I figured we'd try it. Graco’s Midsize Electric airless sprayers make it easier to get more work done in a day with increased flow and production rates.In another thread I noted I'd post a review on my new spray gun, so here it is:įirst: We have a Wagner PaintCrew770 that my wife found on sale at Menards last year - seeing the Wagner name first, then reading "Made in China" I almost sent it right back.
