Graco Ultra 495 XT Stand vs Graco Ultra 490 XT Airless Sprayer

The Ultra 495 XT is the stronger machine: a 1.7 HP motor and 0.8 GPM flow against the 490 XT's 1.3 HP and 0.7 GPM, so it holds speed on big tip sizes and large jobs. Both share the same Xtreme Torque motor design, RapidResponse control, 50-3,300 psi range, two spray modes and Endurance Vortex pump, so finish quality and pump life are close. The 490 XT is lighter and more compact, which suits smaller crews and tight sites. Owners of both rate the pump and motor reliability highly; the 495 XT is the one to step up to for daily production work.

• Choose the Ultra 495 XT if you spray most days, run larger tips or big interiors, and want the extra flow and power to keep up.
• Choose the Ultra 490 XT if you want the same Graco pump and control system in a lighter, more compact unit for smaller or occasional jobs.
