We researched and tested eight different airless paint sprayers on various projects at our homes.
The Spruce
Look for sprayers that come with liners or that can be connected to a garden hose.
Based on our testing and research, these are the best airless paint sprayers on the market.

We found it relatively easy to clean and soon had it ready for our next project.
All in all, we consider this a great airless paint sprayer for both experienced and new DIYers.
The sprayer has adjustable pressure, which was easy to set.

Its instruction book includes many helpful tips on using the sprayer most effectively and improving the painting technique.
The sprayer draws unthinned paint or stains directly from a 1-gallon or 5-gallon can.
It comes with a 515 tip and is compatible with six other tip sizes.
We had to refill it once during our painting session, but it was easy to do.
Wagner recommends an annual usage of up to 50 gallons of paint.
The sprayer has a 32-ounce paint canister and comes with six liners, making cleanup easy.
We did note that the sprayer can drip a little bit when running low on paint, though.
This powerful sprayer is rated for up to 300 gallons of paint annually.
Cleaning it is not difficult, although it is admittedly tedious.
However, there are five other sizes sold separately should you need a larger or smaller tip.
It comes with four canister liners to make cleanup easy, and Graco also sells packs of liners separately.
However, it is not compatible with other Graco tips.
No more tripping over hoses and cordsan airless paint sprayer is at your fingertips.
You control it by squeezing the trigger on your cordless drill.
It comes with two tips: one wide spray for paint and one wide spray for stains.
Graco sells additional tips for narrow-spray patterns separately.
The sprayer has a 32-ounce canister to hold paint, which is enough for many small jobs.
And you’ll get a smooth utility of paint without excessive overspray.
And the included 30-foot hose is long enough for maneuvering around your worksite comfortably.
Draw your paint from a 1-gallon or 5-gallon can.
It comes with one standard 515 paint tip, which is ideal for most typical paints and solid stains.
There are five other sizes to choose from, all sold separately.
To find the best models, we evaluated each sprayers performance, design, features, and value.
Our best for large projects, theTitan ControlMax 1700, has five-speed tweaks.
Although most sprayers come with just one tip, there are many sizes available.
Our best budget pick, theGraco Magnum Project Painter, is compatible with 10 different tip sizes.
Note that paint sprayer tips are not always universal to all brands.
When looking at the airless sprayer tips, youll see that they are marked with three numbers.
For example, one of the most common sizes included with a paint sprayer is 515.
The first number indicates half the width of the spray produced by that tip.

The second two numbers indicate the size of the orifice, or opening, in thousands of an inch.
“A larger tip will apply more paint faster while providing enough pressure for most common jobs.”
Tip size reduction allows for more control but slower coverage.

Therefore, it should only be done for detailed work or thin coatings if absolutely necessary.
For the typical interior or exterior water-based or oil-based paints, an orifice of .013 to .017 is best.
However, the majority of projects undertaken by DIYers are well-suited to a tip thats 514 or 515.
They generally weigh 5 pounds or less and have no bulky base or separate paint can to move.
