Rating of the best electric spray guns in 2022

If you need to paint a large surface, while achieving uniform coloring, then it is best to use an airbrush. This is an improved version of the atomizer, which is a working nozzle with a spray nozzle at the end. The device is able to pass through a fairly dense paint. The mechanism can be actuated in various ways. Below we will talk about electric spray guns.

By the way! The electric version of the spray gun is not the only one, on the shelves there are also mechanical options that are not popular, and pneumatic spray guns, more about which you can read here.

Electric spray guns: types

Among electrical appliances, there are several types depending on the type of power supply and the type of spray. By type of food, they are divided into:

• network.

Connect to household power supply. Among them there are models with a built-in or remote pump. When choosing a network model, important parameters will be power (responsible for performance), the length of the power cord (more important for convenience).

• rechargeable;

They work on a rechargeable battery. Their incomparable advantage is the functioning in the absence of the possibility of connecting to electricity, albeit for a short time. An important characteristic when choosing such a tool will be the battery capacity, because the battery life largely depends on it.

There are 2 ways of spraying: air and airless.

• Air electric spray guns.

They repeat the principle of operation of pneumatic counterparts, when the paint is supplied as a result of air injection, the only difference is the method of obtaining air volume. It is pumped by a built-in device or a separate electric motor. It is important to note that in pneumatic models, air is supplied under high pressure, while in electric tools such pressure is not achieved.

Among the advantages of electric spray guns with air spray, we highlight:

• a thin layer of applied paint and, as a result, a high-quality coating;
• convenience and mobility;
• no need to select a compressor with the desired characteristics;
• you can pick up equipment even for professional use.

Of the minuses, the loss of coloring compositions and the sufficient noise of the electric motor are most often distinguished.

• Airless electric spray guns.

They are considered more universal, because. Airless technology allows spraying high viscosity paints.

Their most important advantages include the absence of losses of the coloring liquid during spraying, the absence of the need for a powerful pump, the speed of work performed, and low cost.

Among the disadvantages of the airless method, it is worth highlighting the higher consumption of working fluids, the greater thickness of the layer of the applied composition and, as a result, the low quality of staining.

conclusions

The range of network paint sprayers is very wide. The choice should be made based on what kind of work is planned to be carried out in terms of nature and volume. Before buying, you should pay attention to the list of materials with which the device can work and the indicator of maximum viscosity.

Whichever electric spray gun is chosen, you should be prepared for the fact that some time will be spent on “getting to know the device”, especially those that are very sensitive to the viscosity of the material.
