Amazon.com Product Description

The Wagner Power Tex is an all-in-one powered texture sprayer--no separate air compressor or air hoses needed! It has a built-in turbine with more than enough power to texture an entire ceiling, yet it is simply designed, so it's great for even small touch-up jobs. And because it features Wagner's Lock-n-Go Technology, setup and cleanup are fast and easy with no tools required.
The Wagner Power Tex package includes:
  • Wagner Power Tex
  • One-gallon hopper
  • Three nozzles (small, medium, and large)
  • Cleaning brush
  • Lubricant


With Lock-n-Go Technology, the sprayer features quick, no-tool assembly.
This sprayer's hopper adjusts easily to add attractive texturing to ceilings and walls.
No Compressor? No Problem
The award-winning Wagner Power Tex texture sprayer features a powerful built-in air turbine that generates enough air flow to spray professional-looking texture on walls, ceilings, and other hard surfaces. Because the turbine is built into the sprayer, there's no air compressor or long air hoses required. The turbine is rated at 120 volts, 3.7 amps, and 60 Hertz.The Wagner Power Tex has received the "Member Tested and Recommended" seal and the "Contractor Tested and Recommended" seal from the Handyman Club of America.
Hopper Adjusts for Ceilings or Walls
The Power Tex features a large, one-gallon, two-position hopper that can be quickly configured for spraying either ceilings or walls without the need for adapters. Simply fill the hopper with water-based texture material--the same stuff the pros use--plug the hopper into a standard 15-amp wall socket, and spray. The hopper's three-point stand will stabilize the unit, making filling a snap, and the built-in arm rest will keep you comfortable while you work.
Lock-n-Go Technology for Quick and Easy Use
Featuring Wagner's Lock-N-Go Technology, the Power Tex is easy to set up and clean anywhere--no tools required. Assembly takes just minutes: lock the air turbine onto the back of the spray gun with a simple twist and fit the hopper into place on the top of the gun. Screw on the desired nozzle and the Power Tex is ready to go.
Cleaning the Power Tex is also a breeze. Simply remove the air turbine, hopper, and nozzle from the spray gun and clean with the included brush and warm, soapy water. Let dry and reassemble the unit for storage--it's that easy!
Create Professional-Looking Texture Finishes
The Wagner Power Tex includes three nozzles (small, medium, and large) and a variable-flow trigger for producing professional-looking textures: Acoustical Popcorn, Knockdown, and Orange Peel finishes. The Power Tex is designed to be used with a wide variety of water-based texture materials, including standard texture material, aggregated texture, unaggregated texture, and diluted joint compound.
The Wagner Power Tex is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

 "Impressed with results" 2010-03-23
By BrianMG (Sacramento, CA)
Wow. Will never go back to the canned texture spray again! Took some time to make sure my thickness of my texture "batter" was right and did a few trials outside. Once I was satisfied, I moved inside and completely textured my 8x10 bathroom. Worked great. My house has a very heavy knockdown texture, and my results were just slightly less than that. Mine was like a moderately thick pancake batter and I used the biggest nozzle. Stood about 2 feet away from walls. I was concerned that I would have to get it right on the first pass, but realized that I could make multiple passes, and could make my passes faster or slower to adjust application. I ended up using the "pink" premixed lightweight joint compound from HD and thinned it quite a bit with lots of water. Had one of those squirrel cage paint mixers that attaches to drill. Don't see how anyone could mix batter appropriately without one of those. The pink compound goes on pink, but drys clear. Helped me see how my texture application was going. Sprayer was VERY easy to clean. I don't think fondly of a lot of Wagner products, but they hit a home run on this one.

 "Excellent Product" 2010-03-18
By K. Rodriguez
I love this machine. Following the advice of a previous reviewer regarding the critical latex paint consistency of the mud should be followed to the letter to assure success. The pancake batter consistency recommended by the enclosed manufacturer's instruction is a formula for failure. I highly recommend this product. Thanks, Wagner.

 "Gets the Paint on the wall faster...but be careful" 2009-12-07
By J. bentz (MD)
Don't get your hopes up to much about this spray gun. When I originally purchased it, I had visions of spraying the walls and leaving a beautiful texture, with lightning speed...finishing rooms in a matter of minutes. However, in reality, this is not the case...or atleast was not for me. The gun does certanly speed things up though. First tape everything up (trim, windows, door frames, ceiling, etc), then cut in with a brush. This all has to be done before you even think about spraying...and cut in extra wide, say 3-4 inches, to allow yourself some space to spray. Be sure to use a drop cloth..and cover every inch of floor. The sprayer crates a cloud of paint, which gets on everything. If you have furniture in the room, move it out. If you can't, cover every inch of it.



Once all of this is done, you can begin spraying. Follow the instructions and spray with a stiff wrist (do not spray at an angle). I did 3 rooms and tried different speeds and patterns with the sprayer, but no matter how I did it, the texture and coat was not as good as a roller. I basically ended up spraying a wall, and then grabbing a roller with barely any paint on it, to go back over what I just sprayed. This was still quicker than rolling the entire room the traditional way, but not the time saver i originally anticipated.



My house was vacant and my floors were hardwood and easy to clean, so I didn't have to worry about the over-spray too much. If you have carpet or furniture...Be extremely meticulous about covering everything!



PS...wear a mask, or you'll be breathing a cloud of paint.
