Yes, it does take awhile to get primed and then cleaned up after. Much
better for big jobs given the sunk time involved, but it works very well
on this job too.
I am actually kinda impressed too that a cheap HF unit seems to work
pretty well. It needs a higher stand to be able to use the 5gal buckets
directly, maybe I will make one for it. I need to order some more
nozzles for it, for some reason they didn't have them in the store. I
asked a woman there, who I think was the manager, and she said she would
try to order some to stock as various people had asked about them.

for a room, it takes longer to set up and clean than to spray. I
sprayed a house and garage in one day the first time I used one. Be
sure to purge the thing with mineral oil so the oil is in the valves.
Otherwise they rust and set you back $60 or more.

For doing some repaints on the house. Harbor Freight special, it
seems like a decent unit, got good reviews. I just primed a bedroom
in less than 30min, walls and ceiling (which has that popcorn on it
that you absolutely cannot roll paint on). It looks really good.
I'll let that dry a bit then hit it with white paint.
Took awhile to mask off the doors, windows, and baseboards but I
generally do blue tape around the perimeter anyway. It's a bit of a
bother to get it going and to clean it up, but not too bad. I'm
gonna use it next to spray stain on the outside of the house. I got
a respirator to keep unwanted paint spray out of my lungs, put a fan
in a window to blow air out, but it doesn't seem to leave much around
other than where you point it.
These things are da bomb!
