"Manufacturer?s suggested retail price is $1,597.00"    

yeah, but we all know that with few exceptions MSRP's from American manufacturers are to be taken with a grain of salt

now i am thinking i should grab one in case the price is a mistake.

I can't help but thing you're right.

Well, just was in the Newbury Park CA HmDpt and they have a display and two in boxes. Of course, no one knows a thing about it...
I tried reading the manual, and obtuse would be a compliment. Perhaps someone who uses airless would understand it better.
Is it a "turbine assisted airless" or "pump assisted turbine" in "fine mode"? Does that make up for the two stage turbine?
It would be awesome to spray my stucco exterior and patio cover (maybe even reseal my redwood fence), and then turn around and finely spray some interior trim and built-ins I'm working on!!!!

Same as internet: $379. I know, all I could think was, uh you can get: a really good conversion gun, or a fairly decent hvlp, or a disposable/diy airless for that amount...

Thanks, Steve!

A Franklin buys a lot...

Mine arrived a couple of days ago. It appears to be a solid piece of goods. I won't have a chance to use it for a little while but I thought it sounded like a good deal so I jumped on it. This makes the deal a lot sweeter.

Hey Tom Bellemare can you tell does the spray gun and hose connection has a SWIWEL? Did you try the sprayer? Is the spray pattern unified?
Thank you in advance for respond

Is the HVLP part a gimmick?

Aren't HVLP systems around a grand?  I mean, ones that aren't a PITA to use or clean.

Is it possible that Milwaukee's machine could give comparable performance at 40%-50% the cost of a Fuji, for example?

Regards,

Does anyone know if they sell something similar in Europe ( Belgium) for that price?

Anyone thinking of getting this, here's a coupon for $100 off, final price $279.

I couldn't get the coupon to work. It says Adobe file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

It's still working for me, maybe you need to upgrade the version of Adobe you're using.  Under the Help menu in Adobe, select Check For Updates.

I think we all would love to hear anything regarding this system in use, thanks.

Hey
I found out some DISAPPOINTING information on these....TTI Milwaukee's owner has pulled a Porter-Cable here The internal parts to this are all from Milwaukee's sister Ryobi     TTI rebadged  ryobi mechanics in Milwaukee red and black  ........ shame on them
 

is there a problem with ryobi mechanics?

For the price point, they actually decent tools.



A Corolla is not a Lexus, but it can still cart you to the store

Manufacturers of tools typically manufacture - or have manufactured - to a price point.  The Festool users out there are lucky because Festool focuses on quality, longevity, innovation, and not necessarily price.  I think the tools that we will see this year will put an exclamation point on that.  That is why they are comfortable enough to offer the warranties they do.

I think the issue at hand is when manufacturers have several quality lines and then use the reputation (goodwill) of one line whose history has been of better quality to sell a product that is really a rebadged lesser quality product.

I have many Ryobi tools from the 1980's when they first came out as competition to Makita.  There were lawsuits at that time regarding price dumping and also similarity of colors.  They were very innovative and they still are.  They do indeed serve a place in the tool chain.
