Wasted $200 on a fancy sprayer for small jobs, shoulda just stuck with buckets

I bought a Graco airless sprayer last spring thinking it'd speed up my garage floor jobs and smaller patios. Used it twice and the tip clogged up on me both times, spent more time cleaning it than actually spraying. Now it's just sitting in my shed collecting dust and I'm back to using a roller and brush for anything under 200 sq ft. Anyone else regret buying a tool that seemed like a good idea at the time? What do you use for small residential concrete coatings?

So did you keep the receipt or just let it sit there mocking you?

You ever try those cheap pump sprayers from the hardware store? I used to swear by rollers too but a $30 sprayer changed my mind for small stuff.

Return the Graco and grab a 9-inch roller frame, way less headache.
