How do you like your sprayer? I hate painting/rolling but filling/cleaning/maintaining a sprayer sounds like so much work.

I like it a lot. It's a cheap hvlp I got years ago for for spraying walls(not great for that). I cover it in plastic between coats and spray clean water through when I'm done then give it a rinse. No different with my good brushes/rollers.
