I have used this Graco airless for many years before it bit the dust it's a good option. When getting a new sprayer recently I went with wagner flexio hvlp. I am really liking the hvlp a lot more for smaller projects as the spray pattern, volume, and particle size is a lot more controllable. If all you where doing is painting fence I would say go with the airless. But for furniture and things like doors go with hvlp.
