No Compressor? No Problem
The award-winning Wagner Power Tex texture sprayer features a powerful built-in air turbine that generates enough air flow to spray professional-looking texture on walls, ceilings, and other hard surfaces. Because the turbine is built into the sprayer, there's no air compressor or long air hoses required. The turbine is rated at 120 volts, 3.7 amps, and 60 Hertz.The Wagner Power Tex has received the "Member Tested and Recommended" seal and the "Contractor Tested and Recommended" seal from the Handyman Club of America. Hopper Adjusts for Ceilings or Walls
The Power Tex features a large, one-gallon, two-position hopper that can be quickly configured for spraying either ceilings or walls without the need for adapters. Simply fill the hopper with water-based texture material--the same stuff the pros use--plug the hopper into a standard 15-amp wall socket, and spray. The hopper's three-point stand will stabilize the unit, making filling a snap, and the built-in arm rest will keep you comfortable while you work. Lock-n-Go Technology for Quick and Easy Use
Featuring Wagner's Lock-N-Go Technology, the Power Tex is easy to set up and clean anywhere--no tools required. Assembly takes just minutes: lock the air turbine onto the back of the spray gun with a simple twist and fit the hopper into place on the top of the gun. Screw on the desired nozzle and the Power Tex is ready to go. Cleaning the Power Tex is also a breeze. Simply remove the air turbine, hopper, and nozzle from the spray gun and clean with the included brush and warm, soapy water. Let dry and reassemble the unit for storage--it's that easy! Create Professional-Looking Texture Finishes
The Wagner Power Tex includes three nozzles (small, medium, and large) and a variable-flow trigger for producing professional-looking textures: Acoustical Popcorn, Knockdown, and Orange Peel finishes. The Power Tex is designed to be used with a wide variety of water-based texture materials, including standard texture material, aggregated texture, unaggregated texture, and diluted joint compound. The Wagner Power Tex is backed by a one-year limited warranty. What's in the Box

 Works as advertised November 24, 2009
HenryZon (SoCal)
Solid design and well made. Hardest part of texturing with this unit is getting the consistency of the aggregate correct, but that's no fault of the spray unit. Excellent instructions. I suggest using a practice wall to get familiar with the pace of application for your mix and desired texture. I used a large garage wall as a practice medium, and I had no trouble getting a nice "orange-peel" texture on 95% of it. The first 5% was applied too thick (my fault). It doesn't take much to get good coverage! Very nice for the price.
Paint FIRST, spray texture second November 24, 2009
Alan N. Fleming
This first thing I learned after using this Sprayer is that I should have thoroughly painted the ceiling before applying the texture.
I had completely sheet rocked my 14 x 24 ceiling. After taping and sanding, the ceiling looked flat and smooth. I got out my Wagner Power tex for the first time. Practiced on some scrap sheet rock for about an hour until I got the right mix of water and mud and the right knock down look that I wanted.
It took about a half hour to spray the whole ceiling and the corners. After using my knock down blade I noticed that the texture over the tapped seams had apparently dried faster then the rest of the sheetrock surface. In other words, you could see the seams because the texture did not flatten very much compared to the rest of the surface. The seams looked like orange peel texture but the rest of the surface looked like knocked down texture. I decided to respray.
This time I rolled on a thick coat of PVA primer/sealer. Waited a couple of days and then used the Wagner Power Tex again. The sprayer seem much easier to use the second time. Took me about 10 to 15 minutes to re-spray the ceiling. Waited about 20 minutes for drying and then used my knock down blade. The results were much better. However, there still was some unevenness in drying. But, the ceiling looks acceptable now and I consider the job done. I probably would have gotten even better results if I had painted a coat of latex on top of the PVA before spraying.
Now, I will comment about the sprayer. It is a simple design, it is easy to use, easy to clean, gives professional results, and it is inexpensive. BUY ONE , YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Worked great for me September 25, 2009
GalvezGuy (Galveston, TX, USA)
First, if I had not read all of the other reviews before buying this product, I would have probably been very disappointed. The main piece of advice I can give anyone thinking about using this tool is that your mud has to be very thin, a consistency of pancake batter is too thick (at least the way I make pancakes). I would say that the proper consistency is a little thicker than Kilz primer, it should pour easily. At this consistency, it takes longer to dry than the instructions, but the result is great. I was able to do the ceiling in a fairly large room in about 20 minutes and the rather sloppy job I did of taping and floating was not visible anymore. I had to wait about 45 minutes to do the knockdown, but the result was great and with three more rooms to do, this is going to save me a lot of cash.
 Power Tex - Good product bad instructions August 24, 2009

The Wagner Power Tex is a very good product with very vague instructions. I had quite an adventure with it and decided to post my adventure for the overall improvement of humanity. I wish someone else had done the same for me, but oh well. Somebody's gotta do it. Here is a link that you MUST read if you're going to buy and use this tool:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2089469/adventures_with_wagner_power_tex_texturing.html?cat=30
Beyond that, what others have said here is largely true but it all has to be taken in some perspective. The trigger gets tough to pull after any extended use and if you fill the hopper up, it's quite a work out holding up all that weight. Also, the noise is no worse than a vacuum cleaner BUT it's right there on your arm so it seems louder and yes, it's messy. OK, all that aside, some .25 ear plugs solve the noise problem and filling the hopper half way makes the hopper weight about 1/3 as much due to the funnel design AND less material also forces you to take more breaks to refill which gives your trigger finger a rest. If you've got material running down your finger, the material is too thick. It can't be blown onto the wall and that's why it's oozing out.
In the end, I'm very glad I bought this tool and I'm very happy with the performance. You will be too if you read through that article and learn from my mistakes rather than the Wagner instructions.
Good Luck!

This tool did everything I needed it to do, but I sure am glad I read all of the reviews here. Thanks to the suggestions and advice from other owners, my first experience with wall texturing went very well.
