Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fuji 3004 Q4 PRO Quiet 4-Stage HVLP Spray System
Customer Review: Overall.....impressive
Summary: 4 Stars
Pluses:1. Quiet operation - it sounds like a small vacuum cleaner
2. High quality parts - nothing cheap/flimsy here
3. Great quality of finish - consistent quality with paint and
laquers.
Minuses
1. VERY stiff hose - it induces fatigue after a short while which
becomes a bit of a distraction. I plan on changing mine soon
2. Expensive - I got what I paid for so it's not truly a
complaint
Overall I would give this product a 4.5 rating if I could. I'm very satisfied with this product
Customer Review: Poor quality finish
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this item about two years ago hoping it would spray lacquers. The finish quality was poor with the standard tip that came with the gun. I called the company and they called me back telling me I should thin the lacquer by 25%. I have used other spray guns (all with a compressor)and never had to thin the product I am using (at least not by as much as 25%). I have played with the controls and various amounts of thinner and have finally given up. It now sits in the corner of my shop as an expensive lesson - don't buy a tool unless you know someone who personally recommends it. I gave it two stars because the company called me back.Customer Review: Service/Technical Support is amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used the Q4 to spray polyurethane, stain, oil-based enamel, and latex with good results. The poly and stain left very smooth finish that is superior to anything you can do with a brush. The latex and enamels are a bit more difficult to work with as one has to thin these to the right viscosity to flow well, but not too much or they run. It just seems to take some practice... If you are just doing big latex painting work like sides of houses, get an airless sprayer instead.
The controls on the gun are fantastic - you can set for hoz or vertical fan, or even a circular shape which is ideal for touch up. You can adjust paint feed rate and air flow also. All of these controls are a bit confusing at first, but once you use it for a while, you find that they allow you to really fine tune the tool to get the best finish.
The customer support is amazing! Every time I have contacted Fuji, I have gotten a prompt (< 1 day) response from the CEO himself. They have air mailed me a new cup assembly when mine had a slight defect and have provided detailed answers to many technical questions.
This is a quality tool from a quality company that stands behind their product.
Customer Review: Tech Support
Summary: 5 Stars
Today, when some companies charge by the minute to talk to an agent who may be located in a foreign land, I find it refreshing and wonderful to be able to communicate directly with the CEO of the company free of charge.
When I employed the screen strainer on the feed tube of the Fuji spray gun no paint would emit from the nozzle. I had to switch to a nylon bag strainer on the feed pipe. I pointed out my minor problem to Fuji Spray in a weekend e-mail and heard from CEO Paul Smith in just hours. He promptly sent me replacement parts via expedited shipment at no charge. The parts cured the problem so I could use the screen strainers. That was a class act in my book.
My first HVLP system came with a bleeder spray gun. The Q4 comes with a non-bleeder gun and I find that such a gun suits me better than a bleeder gun. I worry less about kicking up dust or other foreign matter.
Customer Review: The right tool for the job
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just another example of having the right tool on hand when your doing a job. It never ceases to amaze me how much easier the job becomes and the quality of the outcome is improved. I wish I had purchased this Fuji HVLP system years ago! It is definetly a great product.
