We've used the Sears version of the Wagner roller and loved it. It was
fast, easy to use, and the best part: EASY to clean! Haven't used the
air sprayer so I don't have any comments about it, other than I've heard
cleanup is tedious.

I bought one of the spring-operated Wagner and did my paiting with it
but I won't recommend it. Very noisy, and the container for the paint,
that screws on to the unit, is too smal. Too many re-loads. I still
have it and would gladly sell it for a fraction of what I paid. ($85).
