The coverage is beautiful. That's the whole reason you buy a sprayer instead of brushing, and the QX2 delivers. With three spray patterns to choose from, you can dial it in for whatever you're working on, and the finish comes out smooth and even — no brush marks, no drips, no going back over spots.
It's genuinely fast. The listing claims it can cover an 8' x 8' area in a couple of minutes. I can confirm: that's true. What used to be an afternoon with a brush becomes a quick session with this thing.
Cleanup is easy. Anyone who's owned a sprayer knows this is where they usually make you pay. Not this one — cleanup is quick and painless, which means you'll actually reach for it instead of dreading it.
My one honest gripe: the cup. It holds 800 ml, and here's the math problem — if it empties an 8' x 8' area's worth of stain in a couple minutes, then on a big job you're stopping for a refill every couple minutes. Staining a long wooden fence, I found myself wishing hard for a larger cup. For furniture, doors, small decks, and medium projects, the cup size is a non-issue. For big jobs, plan on frequent pit stops.
Bottom line: beautiful coverage, honest speed, easy cleanup, and one undersized cup. If Wagner ever makes a bigger-cup version, I'm first in line — but even as-is, this thing is great and I'd buy it again.
