extexanwannbe - (October 23, 2006) I purchased the Graco Magnum dx sprayer. I love this sprayer. The last time I painted the exterior of a house, I took a week off of work and used a brush. It took me the entire week. I dreaded painting, given my past experience and I decided that I wasn't going to suffer like that again. I considered the Wagner Crew sprayer, but decided against it as one had to dump the paint into a hopper. I read one review on the Graco (favorable) and purchased it at HD. I chose to prime the house before paintin as well, which solidified my case to get an easier, faster way to get this done. I spent probably 2 hours taping up my bay window before painting, and it took me 10 minutes to do the painting aroun

tommyw - (June 29, 2006) I decided to try this sprayer after having several Wagner sprayers that were more trouble than they were worth. I was not disappointed with the Magnum dx. This is an awesome sprayer. I sprayed 10 gallons of semi-transparent stain on a fence and then applied two different latex exterior paints - almost 10 gallons - on the house. The ease of switching paints, and priming and then cleaning with the dx was just great. While a bit more money, I believe it is well worth it - you won't be disappointed with this airless sprayer.

DonD2007 - (May 17, 2007) with in weeks of installation we needed to have the circuit board replaced waited a long time to get then the unit quit almost a year later there is no way to get an instant fix. be prepared to wait for a new heater and no help from the manufacturer in getting one overnighted to you. as far as saving on your electric be prepared to upgrade and run extra wires it requires three separate 40 amp double pole breakers and three dedicated lines to the heater . if you have a teenager keep in mind the water never runs out so that means the shower can run non stop so you may not save money in the long run.

DonC43 - (09/05/2009) Summary: Very acceptable door chime. Review: Bought this door chime to replace an inexpensive "big box" door chime. Some people do not like the sound of this chime, but I found the deep rich sound that it produces less jarring than the sharp crisp sounds of some chimes. Be totally aware that this chime requires a good hefty transformer with a minimum of 15 VA rating. Anything less and the chimes don't get past the first couple of notes. My original transformer was only a 10 VA rating and at first I thought there was something wrong with the chime.I had purchased this chime as a "close-out" floor model without instructions and was disappointed that the Craftmade internet site did not have a manual or guide that could be downloaded. The wiring of the chime can be a little confusing as it has 4 AC terminals, two common terminals and then terminals for the Front Door, the back door, and a side door.Overall it is a very good chime albeit expensive, but now that I have it working, I would rate it "Very Good".

Jambo86 - (08/03/2009) My new home was finished one-year ago complete with a Wayne Dalton garage door and the iDrive Torquemaster motor. The iDrive is a nice idea but it is one big mistake. It worked intermittently for almost a year. Then it would not close properly at all. So, I called the guy who installed it and he blamed me for the problem and made adjustments to fix it. He said that I did not call him soon enough. I have had garage doors with openers for many years. None of them have failed on me even after 10-years of use. The Dalton opener began having issues within months and then failed totally in a year. The installer blamed me. Never again!!

gjacmar - (07/27/2009) This was a great purchase. It looked great online and even better at my house. I have not seen a comapny with better pirce. I went to home depot, lowes, menards, lumber liqudators and they couldnt compete.
