I care about the performance as well but some days after a long push I just don't have the energy to lift any heavy items so yes hi boy with casters is my next investment.
Great stuff josh,it looks like one hell of a machine,full release date for uk and Ireland is end of july i think,would this spray dulux weathershield straight out of the bucket without thinning or would i need a bigger machine like say the 695 xt?i would be using it for mainly spraying paint on to exterior pebbledash,thanks
The 495’s are ready to go now with bigger units coming later in the year. You would be able to spray unthinned weathershield with this but you’ll be working it relatively hard on larger jobs. www.spraydirect.co.uk/acatalog/Graco-Ultra-495-XT-Airless-Sprayer-110V-Stand-Mount-19D529.html#SID=30
Hey! Question for you guys... When The Graco 490/495 XT is under pressure, do you notice that its drops by 10 PSI every 30seconds or so, and then after about 2minutes it make a tiny pump and brings it back to the original set pressure 🤔 i am wondering if this is normal, maybe cause of the new claims it always keeps a super consistent pressure... Just hoping the seals arent some how worn, i just bought it and used twice lol, seems to spray like any other Graco machine 👌🏼
Exactly one month ago I bought a Graco ST MAX II 395 PC PRO… Now I feel a bit screwed looking at this new product!Should I regret it or is my model still reliable and workable?😢
I think the audio demo may work better in person. From my computer speaker system the knocking on the new 494XT was louder than the older unit. Can the new style pump work on the older units?
high i just bought the new 490xt and was supper excited about the watchdog system shutting the machine down when out of paint. is there a feature to turn this on? cause my machine just runs.
Hi, press and hold for a few seconds the left button(spray mode button) it activates and deactivate the watchdog system. It advised to deactivate watchdog when you clean the machine.
Longer pump life , quieter running machine, hardly any fluctuation when spraying on low pressure. Yeah , just a gimmick mate. I really do agree with you
They defenitaly did go in the right direction.
Will you be heavier than the previous generation?
Will the 495 xt handle spraying loxon xp
@boussoufadjaber7274 that is a great question cause at the end of a long day just lifting it to clean down and transport can be taxing
It is just a question, but the craftsman does not care about the weight of the machine, but rather cares about the performance

Thank you
Looks an awesome machine. Does the new pump mean you can use a thinner & shorter 7.5 meter hose for trim work without a problem?

It is normal, It is the same with older units, only with new one you have much more sensitive pressure monitoring and display.
Best model?

Ooof that's unfortunate haha since the price difference isn't huge. Your machine is still great tho
New electronics to drive new brushless PM motor, will it last?
Wagner may be a better solution.

No just 31lbs
Just a gimmick
less noise, best pressure control, lower pressure, easier and quicker to clean, longer work life, lighter...
@@williamwallace410wonder if it’s worth the extra 1400 for a diy’r
Need to buy one and considering 390 since it’s tried and tested and half the price as the new gen
