Portable Electric Tools: Wagner SprayTech FLEXiO 990 paint sprayer

Wagner SprayTech, the market leader in advanced paint applicators, announces the newest addition to the FLEXiO family of indoor/outdoor paint sprayers – the FLEXiO 990 for big jobs.

The FLEXiO 990 makes easy work of projects like full-house interior painting and complete exterior house painting. It features a direct feed system for non-stop painting that pulls paint or stain directly from a one- or five-gallon container to the sprayer, making it possible to finish painting projects much faster. When there’s a lot of painting to be done, the FLEXiO 990 saves time with continuous painting.

The FLEXiO 990’s iSpray nozzle technology provides a light texture finish when spraying un-thinned interior and exterior paints. It can be used with latex or oil-based coatings, such as paints, primers, stains, and urethanes. The nozzle can be adjusted to spray horizontal, vertical, narrow and wide patterns, and provides fast, even coverage with low overspray.

With a simple click and twist, the FLEXiO 990’s Lock-n-Go split-gun design means users can change from one color or type of paint to another on the fly, and it also makes for easy clean-up.

The sprayer, which is as quiet as a hairdryer, is 20 percent lighter than traditional airless sprayers, meaning there’s less fatigue when painting large areas. Features like one-touch set up and hands-free cleaning make the FLEXiO 990 DIY friendly. In addition, it delivers contractor performance by spraying up to nine gallons per hour and has a flexible hose for two-story reach.

The FLEXiO 990 makes it possible to quickly spray a full and thick coat of paint with minimal overspray, because the exclusive X-Boost turbine is three times more powerful than other HVLP sprayers. With complete adjustability and control of air power and material flow, users can dial in the perfect setting for the project type and their working speed.

For smaller projects like painting one wall or finishing trim, the Flexio 990 can be quickly converted from a direct feed system to a handheld sprayer with the Control Finish nozzle and a cup accessory, which come standard with each unit.

When projects are complete, packing up the FLEXiO 990 for neat and organized storage is easy with features like a hose strap and gun holder latch.

“The FLEXiO 990 makes spraying large projects faster and it’s simple to use, so serious DIYers can have the confidence to take on any project and get professional results,” said Jon Beaton, senior product manager for Wagner. “With the control and adjustability of the FLEXiO 990, users can count on less overspray than airless sprayers, without sacrificing speed and a great finish.”

The Wagner FLEXiO 990 is available at home improvement stores and online retail websites. MSRP is $249.99. For more information, watch a video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jF_nKB8lk4), and visit www.wagnerspraytech.com.
