Graco Magnum X5 Electric TrueAirless Paint Sprayer4.6
3 sources1 derived$314as of Aug 2The X5 is the most-recommended airless sprayer in this category and the one most homeowners should look at first. Bob Vila's team gave it 4.8 out of 5 for ease of use and performance, noting it self-primed within seconds and produced a fine spray that left no overlap marks. This Old House scored it 4.6. It handles exterior walls and siding on unthinned paint, and Pro Tool Reviews rates it highly for value. The limits are honest ones: lower flow than its siblings, a stand instead of a cart, and an explicit caution from Bob Vila that it is not a commercial machine.
Strengths
- — Bob Vila scored it 4.8/5 for both ease of use and performance and named it their best overall airless sprayer
- — Self-primes in seconds — Bob Vila's testers reported a fine spray with no overlap marks on the first attempt
- — At 19 lb it is the lightest full-size airless here, which matters when carrying rather than rolling
Watch-outs
- — Stand-mounted, not cart-mounted — you carry it around the house rather than rolling it
- — 0.27 GPM is the lowest flow of the three Graco airless machines here
- — Bob Vila noted the kit includes no wrench and only one spray tip
