Not exactly. The one I had, though cared for pretty well, had some serious planned obsolescence to it. The seal around the pump piston failed, so it wouldn't maintain any sort of pressure. It was cheaper to buy a new one.

The new one we bought, however, was hilarious. It was a different type of sprayer, which rather than being a single, high-pressure hose, it was more like a big vacuum cleaner that just blew in reverse.

Long story short: I put at least three coats of white paint on the walls in my grandmother's basement, far, far back in the back utility room. But the new paint sprayer moved enough air that I pretty much coated the entire floor of her basement (not just the utility room) with a sheen of white paint. And we didn't realize until, like, a day after it had dried and we could see the white speckles.

My grandmother has glasses for both near and distance vision. And her knees bother her, so she can't really bend down to get a close look at anything on the floor. But damned if she didn't see those speckles.
