Rockler? Harbor Fright?

How about Chicago Electric.
And it IS the same model.

They'll probably take the coupon on it.

Yep. I'm on my second one now. The first one lasted 10 years.
Until I got sloppy spraying varnish and didn't clean it out properly.

It's a very good buy.

The one in that link was the Chicago Electric gun.

But I got the Rockler Thanksgiving sale flier today and it
lists a Wagner combo unit for $80.

That one I don't know.
Never used it.

There are certain sale items that they won't take a coupon on, and
others that they do. What's the rhyme or reason??? It's worth a try.

Hoover - like the vacuum cleaner?

Because that's what it sounds like.

The HF unit has received a lot of good references here.

"Looks" and "is" are two different stories.
I suppose it's worth a shot to try the HF version, since they have a
very liberal return policy.
Thanks for the info.

BTW, every one of those 20% off coupons says that they can't be used
with any other discount. $99 is the discounted sale price of the HF
model, so it probably wouldn't take. Still cheaper, however... and local.

Really? So you think it's a manager's discretion thing? Worth a try,
I guess.

I have a "similar" gun from Lowes:

http://www.lowes.com/pd_326055-89183-HV3900USG_0__?productId=3142759&Ntt=hvlp&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dhvlp&facetInfo=

They "say" it will spray latex...sort of very thinned.

It will spray lacquer and shellac like a champ.

Easy to clean and not bad learning curve but does require
some practice.

I picked this up, today on sale for $99, minus the 20% coupon which they
accepted, for a total of 80 bucks plus tax. I look forward to trying it
out and seeing if it's as great as everybody says.

No kidding?
And I know Hoover... I used to be called Hoover when I played infield
because I sucked up every ball on the field. :-)
Of course, we also used that to describe guys who just plain sucked.

That unit looks exactly like the $99 HF unit.
Use a 20% off coupon and save $40 over the Rockler price.
