  • Uk plug?

    • Appears so, but you can change the plug yourself, uses the same voltage/frequency as Australia so you will be fine

        *If you're a licensed electrician.

          You don’t need to be an electrician for non-permanent wiring.

          WHO IS ALLOWED TO REPLACE A PLUG OR SOCKET?
          Plugs and extension cord sockets may be replaced by a non-electrically trained person, provided the
          person has been trained and found competent to fit plugs and sockets according to the manufacturer’s
          instructions.
          On completion of this work, the items have to be inspected and tested. They should also be tagged if
          they are to be used for construction work or for work in a hostile operating environment.
          When replacing extension cord sockets, WorkCover recommends they be replaced with the shrouded
          type, which offers improved electrical safety.
          Note: Electrical safety requirements introduced in NSW in 2005 and administered by the Office of Fair
          Trading requires that plugs have insulated pins. Only plugs that conform to the new electrical safety
          requirements should be used when replacement of a plug occurs.

          This is from work cover Australia, under AS3000 you cannot do any fixed wiring, but are allowed to replace a plug or socket provided you are competent. (Source, not an electrician yet, but work in the field)

            @Bargain4Days: AS3000 also applies to new zealand ….where you can remove sockets from wall without being a qualified electrician unlike australia ….

            @Bargain4Days: "provided the
            person has been trained and found competent to fit plugs and sockets according to the manufacturer’s
            instructions."

            Did you not read what you pasted? "Found competent" does not mean your GF (or BF) thinks you know what your doing. It means you have undergone a registered training course and been certified to perform said work , usually as part of a restricted license when needed for refridgeration or plumbing work. Not so old mate feeding the concrete mixer can refit the plug when he chops it off with the shovel.
            Incorrect wiring of extension leads has caused far too many deaths in Australia all ready.

          • @Bargain4Days: So you're argument is that you can do it yourself. You just need to be trained and assessed first, then change the plug, then have an electrician (or suitably qualified person with test and tag certification) test it and tag it (if applicable).

            I recognise the ruling, But nobody on a bargain forum is going to spend $500+ and a couple of days on short courses to change the plug on one appliance - so your statement that you can just do it yourself is enticing completely unskilled people to do it at home, which is unsafe and clearly against the rules.

            As a reference, I am an electrical engineer and would require additional (formal) training / certification to be able to change appliance plugs.

            • @AutomationGuy: I'd totally sign up to a course if it would let me change plugs, power points, light switches, etc. If there is something like this please do point it out!

              • @TheBlackMini: Only plug tops. Definitely can't do power points, light switches etc. Frustrates me to no end when I'm an electrical engineer and am allowed to design massive drives and power networks and manage their installation on site, but can't replace a like for like light switch or GPO.

                For the plug tops to demonstrate competency you would typically do something like;
                https://www.testandtagtraining.com.au/plug-top-replacement-c…
                Which would require you to first do a standard test and tag course;
                https://www.testandtagtraining.com.au/courses

                There are likely other ways of demonstrating competency, but they would generally need formal accreditation in some form or another to be worth anything.

  • Can this be used for any purpose? Walls, metal, fibre etc.

    • +1

      I'm pretty sure it can. You may just need a suitable tip. But it is a quite hardcore one, very good for big jobs (like painting walls, ceilings), but too much troubles and waste for small ones. I have a smaller one – ControlPro 150M. It was very good for house renovation – ceiling in a big bedroom takes 2–3 minutes. The result is great too, but needs some practice - it sprays 0.9-1.2 litres of paint per minute.

      • How much skill do you need to do a ceiling in 3mins? I can imagine making a lot of mess to begin with!

        • +3

          I'm not a handyman, so it took a bit. There are plenty videos about it on YouTube. The important things I noted for myself – don't shortcut on dilution and testing. Many people recommend pattern testing on cardboard – it is an important step. As the paint feed rate is quite high, you won't have much choice other than painting your ceiling in 3 minutes, otherwise it will drip. But my learning curve was way shorter than painting ceiling with a roller, where I absolutely failed, in-spite of using top range stuff.

      • How's the finish compared with a roller doing basic flat paint on walls?

        • I bought the sprayer as a desperate step after failing painting with roller. My result was very nice and uniform (especially comparing to my roller results), and I spent less paint. If you need to paint several rooms – it is a good investment. You will save a lot on paint and rollers too.

          • @Cupa Bundy Drinker: Can I ask what you paid for your and where you got it. I’ve had to paint a lot recently and I think it will only continue, keen to get some decent results and improve the overall speed, although I imagine it’s all in the prep for a sprayer

  • what is the difference between an 250m and 250r ….currently doing major reno and this might speed up painting vs roller …..

    • +1

      Consider just hiring one. Have everything preped and just hire for a week end.
      You will still want to roller the last coat on the walls to give it some texture.

    Always wanted one of these as a kid. This and a photocopier.

  • Thanks got one. Got a tone of home renos under way and will be up to painting in mid August when this is estimated to arrive

  • thks, grabbed one …..besides doing some interior rooms, i also need to do 2 fences so should come in handy. difference between the m and r models is m has metal caddy, the r a plastic caddy.

    seems price crept up to $614, still cheaper than local ……

    • Now $682.47

    i love these things, i jump at an opportunity to paint at friends houses just so i can bust it out!.. i did my friends massive back fence took 2 hours with 3 coats.. if i rolled that fence with 2 people helping it would of taken at least 2 days of sweat and tears… although i did get this one from edisons https://www.edisons.com.au/unimac-740w-electric-airless-pain… i think i payed $300 i cant comment on the wagner but im sure its awesome as the edison one!.

    Tried my luck at Bunnings and the price beat, $614!
