expect it to last forever but for $50 excellent value. It worked very well for me and painted sheds, garage doors and tanks to a good standard.

If you work continuously is sprays consistently but if you're stop-start you can get paint jams that are easy to clear with a couple of pumps of the trigger (took me a bit of fiddling around adjusting flow to figure that out) - instructions are clear and easy to read

Be aware paint spraying has a lot of variables and the experience has as much to do with the user as the machine. You have to clean it (easy with this unit), adjust paint viscosity correctly and use good technique.
