A mid-priced HVLP with a floor-standing turbine and 20 ft hose that trades hand weight for fatigue-free control on cabinets, furniture and fences.
Pros
- The 20 ft hose puts the heavy turbine on the floor, so the gun stays light in your hand
- Two-stage turbine plus variable air control handles stains, sealers and thinned latex well
- Metal spray gun and two cup sizes make it more durable and versatile than most sub-$100 units
Cons
- Still an HVLP, so most latex paint needs thinning and a viscosity-cup check first
- More overspray than an airless, so masking and ventilation are a must indoors
- Multi-piece gun, cup and hose take real time to clean after every session
