15 best spray guns

Spray guns - a handy tool for use in the home, industry or construction and finishing works. More recently, it was used exclusively by professionals, but safely "migrated" to the mass consumer. What can I say: now the competition in the market of spray guns and airbrushes is huge, as well as in other branches of the trade in tools. The only niche that has not yet been successfully filled was the production of premium electric spray guns — large units designed for painting, filling or priming large areas. The rest of the model range, structurally breaking into the above-mentioned electric and pneumatic devices, is diverse.

To make the selection process easier for you, we ranked the nine best spray guns in three different categories. As selection criteria, reviews of ordinary users and professionals in the field of painting and airbrush works, construction features, as well as comparison of technical and price characteristics were taken. All models of spray guns are of high quality and worthy of your first attention.

Top budget electric spray guns with integrated pump

The peculiarity of this painting for painting is cost effectiveness in terms of energy consumption, compactness of overall dimensions and high mobility, limited by the length of the power cable. As for the drawbacks, they are distinguished from the models of higher rank by the low power of the built-in motor (110 W on average), low productivity, and the absence of additional functionality. It should be understood that the scope of applicability of spray guns with a built-in compressor is somewhat different, and therefore you should not expect much from them in terms of performance.

4 Hammer PRZ110

Despite the extremely low cost and not the most outstanding power parameters (110 W), the Hammer PRZ110 is a rare type of productive electric spray gun for the home, working at the limit of its technical capabilities. In the nominal mode of operation, the consumption of material for painting can vary up to 0.3 liters per minute, which is a very good result for a tool of this level. At the same time, the maximum viscosity of the sprayed substance can reach up to 120 din⋅s / cm², which makes it possible to work with varnishes and with thick enamel.

It is noteworthy that the limits of applicability of the Hammer PRZ110 do not end with the repair work - the spray gun is often used in carpentry, for example, for furniture restoration. The only nuance in the operation of the model, according to users, is the impossibility of changing the type of spraying (it is always circular), so there is no talk of any subtle manipulations. However, even from this situation, many savvy consumers find elementary exits, replacing the standard sprayer with an adjustable one.

3 Bort BFP-280

A small spray gun of Chinese origin for the house, the main feature of which is the sufficiently high power of the built-in electric engine in combination with its own small weight of the structure. Consuming 280 watts from the mains, the Bort BFP-280 works quite economically, spraying no more than 0.2 liters of liquid every minute. The reason for this is simple: the opening of the nozzle allows you to handle only small areas in order to increase the quality of the applied layer.

In particular, the user can change the spray mode himself: from vertical and horizontal coloring to concentric (circular), suitable in case of using the spray gun in the form of garden tools. In the general case, Bort BFP-280 allows you to work with materials of different viscosities, up to thick varnishes and enamels. As for the other characteristics, one of them, perhaps, can be distinguished as a reservoir under a liquid of 700 milliliters, located below the “pistol”. As a result, this model seems to be a good working tool, which received great support from domestic consumers.

2 Patriot SG 110

The electric airbrush intended for performance of work mainly on small squares. In spite of the “high speed of spraying and work” declared by the company, the 110-watt engine with great difficulty ensures the productivity of 300 milliliters per minute. And in general the engine is not the most outstanding part of this tool. Another case is the case: the entire “filling” is packed in a lightweight, impact-resistant plastic that quietly withstands an awkward fall on a hard floor from a height of human height. The handle is made using Extra Grip non-slip pads, providing a good and comfortable grip. It is worth noting the presence in the kit of a flexible extension cord, which is used for painting hard-to-reach places.

Advantages:

• good quality "stuffing";
• even better quality of case elements;
• the presence of a flexible extension kit;
• attractive price.

Disadvantages:

• low-power engine and, as a result, poor performance.

1 KUBR-350 bison

Bison KPE-350 is a model without frills, but coping well with its direct responsibilities.It allows you to apply any kind of paint coatings with a viscosity of up to 60 DIN, evenly and without overspending. Unlike competing models, it is equipped with a 350 W engine - this ensures good traction and uninterrupted operation throughout the entire paint cycle, regardless of the total process time. The efficiency of spraying the contents is the responsibility of the HVLP system, expressed by the presence of a large spraying head and low pressure paging. There is another feature: a jet of paint can be supplied both vertically and horizontally - it depends on the position of the rotary nozzle, which was made such as to ensure the ease of use of the spray gun.

Advantages:

• acceptable build and spray quality;
• the presence of a rotary nozzle that allows you to apply the paint in different planes;
• optimal cost;
• quite powerful 350 watt motor;
• paint supply system HVLP.

Disadvantages:

• not identified.

Top Professional Electric Spray Guns

Professional electric spray guns are the final stage in the development of this type of tool. They are designed to work in the conditions of production and service centers (often this includes not only painting wood products, but also car bodywork), as well as for painting work on interior finishing. Usually, the “business card” of such models is the increased dimensions of the structure, the long connecting hose, high performance and power of the drive engine.

4 WAGNER Control Pro 350 M Airless

Airless Spray Gun WAGNER Control Pro 350 M Airless - a quality option for equipment production, as well as for the provision of services of professional painting of premises in the forced mode. With a power of 600 W, the device is capable of generating compressed air flows with a pressure of up to 110 bar, as well as regulate the flow rate of the sprayed liquid up to the level of 1.5 liters per minute. The average application rate, indicated by the manufacturer, is 7.5 square meters every minute.

The Control Pro 350 M Airless, as well as most of the models in the Wagner line, has a 15-meter connecting hose, which allows high-quality and, most importantly, quick finishing of spacious rooms (when installed in their central part). The only tangible minus of the unit is a very high noise level (you should not expect a quiet “whispering” from the supercharger of such high pressure), reaching up to 100 dB. Therefore, as a measure of protection of hearing, when working with this gun, we recommend using construction headphones.

3 WAGNER ProjectPro119

WAGNER products are of high quality regardless of the price category of the inventory. Spray gun ProjectPro119 not a step away from the canons. The main focus of the development was on the convenience of its use. For this purpose, a trolley with wheels was bolted to the device, simultaneously fitting the system with a suction nozzle and a 15-meter hose. A particle filter was added to the spray gun, although the need for its use is very doubtful. As for power, the spray gun is equipped with a 720-watt productive engine.

Despite the rather high technical characteristics of the total cost of the model leaves much to be desired. There is a decent margin for the brand, which is very hard to beat the pocket of a potential buyer.

Advantages:

• Particular attention is paid to ease of use: the presence of a cart with wheels, as well as a long (15 meters) paint hose;
• good build quality;
• productive engine (720 W).

Disadvantages:

• big markup for the brand.

2 ASPRO-1800

Electric spray gun ASPRO-1800 is a controversial, but demanded model among professionals.The main problem of this spray is a very powerful stuffing, but useless debugging it. The 900 W engine delivers 1.8 liters of paint and varnish per minute. For the uninitiated in the subtleties of a person such a value will seem very decent, but with such characteristics you can squeeze out a higher value of efficiency.

The construction of the ASPRO-1800 is very convenient. His body is fixed on the frame, which, in case of need, can be moved by simple drawing. Also included is a 15-meter extension hose, indispensable in the case of painting ceilings or large rooms.

Advantages:

• good build quality, high-quality components;
• powerful 900-watt engine;
• convenient design - the body is fixed on the rack;
• 15 meter hose included.

Disadvantages:

• the potential of the "stuffing" is not revealed until the end.

1 Caliber ADB-850

Airless electric spray gun Caliber ADB-850 is a real “tank” in the production of paint work. The device is intended for use solely for professional purposes and all the parameters are proof of this. Dimensional painting unit has a single-phase collector engine with a capacity of 850 watts. It provides a fantastic performance of 2.1 liters of paintwork material per minute. When spraying the system creates a very high pressure, about 227 bar, so painting can be done by moving the hose nozzle 40-50 centimeters from the surface. Despite the "mad" performance, it is very economical - with the passage of the nozzle, the liquid is crushed, taking a large part of the surface under the color.

Advantages:

• costs much cheaper than analogs;
• very high quality assembly;
• the presence of a powerful engine that has a positive effect on performance;
• second degree of security;
• relative efficiency of consumables.

Disadvantages:

• not identified.

Top electric spray guns with remote pump

Spray guns of this type lose somewhat in mobility to analogs with built-in pumps, however, they show the best results in terms of power and productivity of work. The main advantages of such models include the capacity of the tank, the possibility of more detailed adjustment of air pressure / material consumption, and, in addition, the presence of additional structural functions. Of the drawbacks, limited mobility and increased vibration / noise indicators are most notable.

3 BLACK + DECKER HVLP400

Air spray gun from Black + Decker is a rather cumbersome unit, the main feature of which is enclosed in a large volume of fluid tank - 1.2 liters. Thanks to such a serious tank in combination with good technical indicators (power 450 W, consumption in the region of 0.5 liters per minute) and a decent length of hose (6 meters), all conditions are created for the continuous painting work in the renovated premises. Actually, the voiced set is the most valuable and frequently mentioned in the user reviews.

The opinion of experts is also on the side of the good quality of the HVLP400, but they pay attention to small details, leaving obvious prerequisites for user ratings. In particular, portions of praise deserved indicator of the rate of consumption of material mounted on the body of the spray gun. In addition to it, the spraying mechanism itself was noted in a similar way, which allows changing the track from circular to vertical and horizontal. This tool does not allow for painting cars, but copes well with the decoration of walls and furniture.

2 ZUBR KPI-750

The budget version of the spray gun for high-quality paint work, featuring a large step of adjusting the material consumption and high power built-in electric motor. 750 watts are more than enough to provide quick painting of walls and other floors, accompanied by a constant ejection of the sprayed liquid in a volume of up to 800 milliliters. It is important that the viscosity of the material does not exceed 100 dinis / cm² - otherwise nozzle clogging may occur.

Among other things, it is worth noting the ergonomic conditions of ZUBR KPE-750. Largely due to the large mass of the structure without sprayed material (4.8 kilograms), the manufacturer managed to reduce vibrations to a negligible threshold of 0.1 m / s.². However, you can make claims on the level of the published noise, which exceeds the threshold of 90 dB, however, much louder installations also exist in the segment.

1 BOSCH PFS 5000 E

Of course, the decoration of the rating of the best, positive moments in which relate to the highest rate of application of consumables on the treated surface. Like the opponents in the category, BOSCH PFS 5000 E is an electric spray gun for processing coatings such as walls and furniture, but it cannot be used as a tool for painting a car. Its power is almost 1200 W, which, when controlling the flow rate in a fairly narrow range (0.5 l / m), allows processing up to 3 square meters of surface with glaze, enamel, stain, varnish and other facing means.

Taking care of the technical side of the model, Bosch engineers could not ignore the much more specific area of ​​ergonomic parameters. Despite the installation of a powerful engine, the noise of the PFS 5000 E does not exceed 95 dB at work, which is a kind of achievement on the scale of the segment. Unfortunately, with the level of vibration such a focus did not pass: 2.5 m / s² even with almost 5 kilograms of weight - much more than the normalized limits.

The best pneumatic spray guns

Pneumatic spray guns are a different type of tool, which depends on the connection to the air line of the enterprise or compressor unit. Such models of sprayers are most often used for painting car bodies and airbrushing, however, they can be useful in finishing work. Their advantages often include a metal (stainless) construction, high performance (depending on the nozzle throughput and pressure requirements), and ease of handling with a minimum of hardware settings.

3 Patriot LV 500

Pneumatic spray made in the best traditions of classic painting tools. Despite the low price, the Patriot LV 500 looks very impressive. And it's not only in appearance. All regulatory elements, trigger and liner hose are made of high quality corrosion-resistant material. The gun fits perfectly on the hand, does not slip and does not load the brush. The only serious drawback of the spray gun is the tank under the paint. From insignificant impact or work at light negative temperatures, plastic embrittlement occurs, which leads to a violation of its tightness - the appearance of chips, cracks or complete destruction. Such a “sore” is being treated by the notorious replacement of a tank with a suitable model, and these are additional costs.

Advantages:

• high quality performance;
• elements are made of corrosion-resistant material;
• optimal price;
• the pressure in the spray gun reaches 1.5 bar.

Disadvantages:

• fragile tank under the paint.

2 Wester FPG-30

Pneumatic spray gun Wester FPG-30 is a balanced in cost and quality model, suitable for work in any working environment. Made from anticorrosive steel and supplemented with a nylon tank of 600 milliliters, this tool is able to work with paints, primers and even viscous varnishes, since the pressure (2-3.5 bar) combined with air flow (85-110 liters per minute allows push viscous compounds through a 1.5 mm (with maximum opening) nozzle).

It is noteworthy that the spray width of the Wester FPG-30 can vary within fairly large limits - from 180 to 250 millimeters, so you can build the perfect balance of paint consumption and the thickness of the sprayed layer. According to user reviews, this gun perfectly copes with painting cars, but can also be used for interior decoration.

1 SATA 100 BP

For a long time, SATA has been pleasing consumers with high-quality goods and rightfully holds the title of one of the best manufacturers in the segment of spray guns and airbrushes. The SATA 100 BP model is intended for spraying putty, viscous thick-layer structures, and also water-based varnish, while the dimensions of the area to be covered do not matter much. The tool has reliable adjustment elements to change the material flow and adjust the spray width. The handle is made of lightweight plastic-based material, and the tank for the used compounds is made of steel in the form of a thin-walled flask alloyed with anti-corrosion elements. This is a very high-quality tool, alas, not always affordable for the average consumer.

Advantages:

• great professional tool;
• very high quality;
• availability of accurate controls of material consumption and the width of the sprayed composition;
• reliable metal flask;
• the pressure in the spray gun reaches 2 bar.

Disadvantages:

• high price.
