Do not use extension cords with it

Due to the vaulted ceiling, I tried using an extension cord. Worked fine at first, then started leaking. The leakage got worse over time despite repeated tightening. There is a pressure setting for rolling. It didn't help with my leak. The leak was caused by rotating the paint roller to get closer to the door upholstery etc. This arrangement is very useful for large areas of primer. Much faster than manually rolling a 9 inch bead. Roughly the same as manually rolling a 14 inch reel. Place the machine and paint in a large container to avoid spills. Of course, the hose increases the danger. But roll or spray? Lots of pros and cons. I painted the ceiling and rolled the walls. High pressure increases the amount of paint mist that accumulates on adjacent surfaces. Ordered a low pressure tip for this problem. $35 for her. This equipment requires multiple jobs to pay for itself. Although I've seen it perfect for some paint jobs. I look forward to using it on old steel roofs and boat floors, for example.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Communication with seller
