Magnum X5 (262800) Airless Paint Sprayer

I bought this in from the USA a month ago , used it today for the first time just now and I have to say it’s absolutely brilliant . It was recommended to me by a freind in France . I sprayed an old 1930s pebbledash house it took a total of four hours it’s a detached three bedroom . The machine worked faultlessly . I sprayed sandtex smooth but I did thin it by 10 percent , to be honest I think it would have coped fine with it straight from the tin . It took me a good hour to clean it properly after I had finished but I’m fussy anyways . It quiet efficient and very well put together . You need to be a bit experienced and get everything in place before you start go round make sure you can reach everywhere but it really is so fast . I used a builders 110 volt 3ka transformer with a lead I bought from eBay because it is 110 volt you have to use a transformer they can be picked easy enough . . It really saved me a hell of a lot of time and the paint went on really thick . My neighbour came out and said he couldn’t believe how quick I got it done and how quiet it was .

Only used this item for a couple of hours and it stopped working. Returned it 8 days ago and still haven’t received the refund

Wasn't happy when it turned up with an American plug on it, amazon shouldn't put these on uk sites.

The sprayer arrived without a hose. And or information that the power supply would need adaptation. Looks good. But will cost significantly more to use with additions.

Company changes name but is selling Non CE Marked machine into the UK I have escalated this to Amazon.

Used once and then went to use it again and it has burnt out! Really not happy with this machine

Nothing wrong with these sprayers, if purchased and used in the USA, which is the market they are designed for. These are USA spec machines with USA spec electrics. 110v 60hz motor. UK is 240v 50hz. More importantly, it is illegal to sell these machines into the United Kingdom or EU as they are not UKCA or CE marked. They are not warranted by Graco for use the UK or Europe. Graco's distributors in the UK or Europe will not touch them, because they will not have the parts and that they are not UKCA or CE marked. Lastly if you electrocute yourself and die while using this sprayer then, your spouse, partner or whoever will not be able to sue Graco. You could sue the seller but good luck with that!

Haven't used yet due to power outlet issues in uk at 240v
