paint sprayer

has anybody used a paint sprayer of the type advertised on tv these days and are they easy to use?
What are the drawbacks compare to the old fashioned paint brush ?
Thanks to those who can help me !

 

The draw back I always see were folk have used them is over spray. As for ease of use its a pice of pis* fill it, pump it up and spray not forgeting to mask paving etc.

The sprayer cuprinol sell is nothing special so dont buy it, buy a normal cheap one.

 

I used a cupronal one when they first came out my grandad bought one there ok but you can get overspray and its a bit tricky if its windy :confused:

 

I totally agree with Paul.......,the only draw back with these new sprayers is it take quite a bit of time and patience, cleaning it after use.

 

You could also try asking around to see if anyone you know has one then borrow it i mean its supposed to last 5 years so its not something u use alot is it lol
