Our verdict

These are both handheld HVLP sprayers, but they target different buyers. The HomeRight Super Finish Max is the budget pick, usually under $100, and delivers a great cabinet and furniture finish once you thin the paint and clean it carefully. The Wagner FLEXiO 3500 costs roughly twice as much but sprays unthinned paint straight from the can and adds a second nozzle for walls, so it doubles as a whole-room tool. If your projects are small and finish-focused and you don't mind thinning, the HomeRight saves money; if you want to skip thinning and spray both cabinets and walls, the FLEXiO 3500 earns its higher price.
