Indeed, it’s an excellent feature for painting small, intricate areas like corners, edges and figures. Likewise, you’ll be able to minimize the overspray with this feature.

In fact, you can use this sprayer for an extended period and certainly you won’t feel it too heavy even when it’s about full of paint.

Users experience less fatigue while using it for a long time. The ergonomic design long handle offers a sure grip, making it easy and comfortable to complete projects like a pro.

If you remove the paint container before it’s empty, the paint may spill down inside the sprayer. So, relieve the pressure before removing the container as it’s under pressure and may spew paint out.
What We Didn’t Like –
Unfortunately, this sprayer has some downsides that you may not like. However, these are relatively common for a sprayer at this price range.
- Not perfect for bigger projects
This sprayer is certainly an excellent product for finishing and minor touchups. But for bigger projects like painting the exterior of a house, it’s not the right one at all. Also, you can’t work on the project that requires a fine finish as this model doesn’t come with fine finish nozzle.
- Smaller cup
Refilling the cup during your painting project is a big hassle and it interrupts paintings. This model could be better if it comes with a bigger paint reservoir.
- Prone to clogging
Although Wagner claims that it won’t clog, frequent clogging seems to be an issue with this model. We’ve noticed that this unit is prone to clogging. However, if you assemble it correctly and be careful while painting, you may reduce this problem.
- Prone to overspray
Wagner Spraytech Flexio 570 paint sprayer is really faster but this feature makes it prone to overspray. If you’re painting a living-or dining room where you want to keep the paint contained, it’ll be a big issue. But for spraying any unfinished basement or other surfaces where a little overspray is acceptable, this occurrence isn’t a problem.
For doing some woodwork, you’ll require finer atomization. We recommend using detail finish nozzle that comes with the Wagner Flexio 590 for that purpose.
General User Experience

On the positive side, users firstly appreciate its spray-rate. They mentioned that they have completed their home DIY painting projects in less time they’d have required to do with rollers and brushes.

However, in spite of these downsides, the majority of the users were satisfied with its quick and consistent performance, functionality, adjustability of the spraying patterns and quality of Flexio Wagner 570 that they expect from a sprayer at this price.
So, we can say the overall user experience is satisfactory.
