Is the ControlMax 1700 Pro worth it over a smaller airless sprayer?

If you spray whole rooms or exteriors regularly, yes. Its higher output and bigger tip capacity finish large jobs faster than compact units. For occasional touch-ups, a smaller sprayer is easier to handle.

What tip size does it take?

It accepts tips up to 0.017 inch. Match the tip to the coating: smaller tips for thin paints, larger ones for thicker materials.

Can it spray unthinned paint?

Titan rates it for unthinned coatings, but some thick paints still need slight thinning or a larger tip to spray cleanly. Check the coating's label first.

How much can it spray in a year?

Titan rates it for about 300 gallons per year, which suits frequent professional or large-project use.

Does it need a special power supply?

No. It runs on standard 120V household power and draws about 4 amps, so a normal circuit works.

What comes with the sprayer?

The unit ships with a 50-foot hose and mounts on a two-wheel cart. Tips and extra hose lengths are usually bought separately.

Our take on the Titan ControlMax 1700 Pro Airless Paint Sprayer

The Titan ControlMax 1700 Pro is a cart-mounted electric airless sprayer aimed at working painters and serious DIYers. Its HEA pump runs at up to 1500 PSI and 0.33 gallons per minute, takes tips up to 0.017 inch, and is rated for about 300 gallons a year, so it handles unthinned interior and exterior coatings on larger jobs. Compared with small handheld airless units it sprays faster and takes bigger tips, but it is heavier at roughly 37 pounds and needs more setup and cleanup. Reviewers tend to like the steady output and the two-wheel cart for moving between rooms and job sites.
