Works great, easily remove old deck paint.
I bought a PaintEater this summer and it has done a terrific job scraping the paint off my cedar siding. I was hand scraping but with this tool it takes a fraction of the time. It has performed flawlessly. I've gone through two pads with how much I've gotten done and I'm going to get another to start scraping another section of my two story house. The best part is the siding after scraping is in great shape and ready for staining.
The tool along with the pad provided removes paint easier and less mess than the liquid strippers on approximately 5 coats of paint.
I love this product. I took the pant off the test piece I did quicker than it took me to get it out of the box and set up. This machine is the greatest. No more scraping again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Incredible little paint eater. Now I am done with sanding papers and scraping tools. Now I am able to remove the old paint faster than ever before.The preparation process before painting goes a lot faster. My hands doesn't get tired anymore thanks to my brilliant choice of my purchase. I like Wagner products because of their designs and ability to do the work they are made for.

I bought a 76 year old frame house with an exterior that had paint peeling, chipping off, bare spots, every imaginable situation. No one had touched the exterior for 25 years. I took to the house first with a pressure washer, then with the PaintEater, then with the Wagner Paint Gun, then the sanders. The PaintEater saved me so much time and effort and was key in removing all the paint and taking it back down to the bare wood. I used it for 1 year (weekends) before the switch for the pad replacement broke. I contacted the company and they sent me not the switch but an entire product. This product was a lifesaver.
The Painteater did what it was advertised to do. However on surfaces that are vertical and or above my head I was unable to control the paint eater because it is stronger than I am. I had to be able to stand above the surface and the Painteater and the surface needed to be horizontal for me to be able to use it. My sons were able to do the vertical surfaces. Still it did make a nice smooth surface when it was finished.
I bought this to speed up the scraping part of the prep work before painting my 80-year-old home exterior. I don't think I saved any time, but in the same amount of time, I have better results. It was hard to know when to stop scraping. There were about 6 or 7 coats of paint on some parts of the house. This paint job was overdue by several years, and there were many places where paint was cracked and peeling, with the bare wooden siding exposed. In many places, pulling the scrapper across the surface resulted in paint chips streaming away, leaving bar wood. Most of the time, some chips remained, but a couple more scraps would pull them loose. There were also places where the paint was chalk-like, and required sanding. The PaintEater gave mixed results, depending on exactly how the old paint was failing. The course, fibrous wheel that came with it was good at quickly smoothing bare wood that had been roughed up while scraping. It was good at quickly cutting through several coats of old paint, and smoothing the transitions from bare wood to thick paint that didn't scrape off. But it didn't replace the scrapper when removing paint chips that were only loosely stuck to the surface. In this case, the PaintEater actually sanded down THROUGH the paint chips. There were several times when I treated an area with the PaintEater, which smoothed the area, and it would have looked fine under a fresh coat of paint. Then I scraped that same area, and paint chips easily came loose, exposing bare wood. After experimenting, I concluded that the best process for me on this house was to scrape an area first, then smooth the paint edges with the PaintEater. I spent less time scraping, but instead spent that saved time going over the area with the PaintEater. That gave me a smoother finish.
This product does not live up to its name. It did not eat paint. I was even just hoping to use it to sand down/knock away the loose areas of paint but it didn't even do that. I went over every area of chipping paint and sanded away, paint flying everywhere. I feathered edges. Then I look back over it and there are loose chips I can pick off with my finger that the "Paint Eater" did nothing to. I didn't find that it feathered all that well either, but I didn't care much about that. I just wanted to knock off all the loose paint and it couldn't even do that. It's getting returned.
This unit does as advertised but with one glaring problem. The discs wear out way too quickly. Picture attached used 2 new discs and 2 older ones I had previously.
