Default Paint Sprayer

Anyone ever use those $145 dollar electric paint sprayers from home depot? Have two doors I need repainted and probably will do my door and window trim in the future.

Yes!
I have one and used it on exterior bricks, retaining walls and interior ceiling.
I am very happy with mine and saved me a lot of work and huge amounts of time.
This is the one I have:

Just make sure you clean it really good after each use.

My Wagner is great.
But clean it immediately after use.
The plastic o-ring/seal hardened quite quickly after purchase on mine. So I made a Teflon version at work.

What are you guys using to clean them out? Just spraying varsol through it?

My bad, the one you have linked is the one I have actually. Its great!
I have used varsol to clean it when I used it with an oil paint, and just regular luke-warm water when I used it with Latex paints.

Default makes short work of staining a fence!

Practice with it as others have said. you'll spend more time cleaning it than using it on your project. It's that fast.

I too use a wagner, using a water based acrylic for indoor cabinetry and millwork. Thinned slightly, it performs best in a vertical orientation. Keep the bowl from getting too low as it will start to sputter if the pickup is not flooded. A couple of practice sweeps on scrap, and you should be good to go. Have some rags ready to wipe the nozzle if it starts to gum up. As mentioned, cleanup intensive.
