this auction guy claims it is as good as the WAGNER brand one of
similar size , which I saw a demo on HSN TV.. looked pretty good

That is like saying cow turds are as good a horse turds. The Wagner is a
piece of crap, IMO. Tried using mine twice and had poor results.



can I use this with oil based paint.

or an alternate question? how can I tell if any airless painter can be
used with OIL and water based?

Read the instructrions/specifications.
