In full disclosure I have not run any paint through the pump yet as we are still very cold here in the Northeast US. I own an aging Graco , so I compared some of the parts to that. in a nutshell, its not a bad setup. The gun and hose are quite nice. I have seen some really cheap looking ones outmthere for short money, and they are pretty crappy. This one is quite decent Id say, and the tips are nice as well. They are the \"standard\" tips. The hose is good, midrange quality, very serviceable. The cart is not as rugged as my Graco, but it is not as expensive as well. One thing I am not thrilled with , but may prove to be a non-issue is the intake hose comes out of the motor horizontally , then loops up into the paint pail. I worry about hose collapse, but the hose is fairly rugged. On my Graco, the motor sits high and the hose drops vertically down into the paint pail. No chance of a hose kinking. I think for the comparatively lower price, this is a decent unit. I will report back once the house is painted !
