Graco Ultra Cordless Airless

Powered by the DeWalt XR lithium-ion system, the Graco Ultra Cordless Airless Handheld Paint Sprayer, model 17M363 is designed to give you the perfect airless finish.

One of the best things about this sprayer is how easy it is to use at any speed; no need to mess around with thinning your paint like other sprayers require. The real game changer is the triple piston pump paired with Pro Connect technology.

Switching between tasks with other sprayers can be a headache, but not with this one. Thanks to the RAC X FFLP spray tips and all the tech packed in here, you get smooth, consistent results every single time.

If you’re tackling big jobs, we’d definitely recommend the Graco Ultra Cordless as your go-to workhorse. It lays down a fast, flawless finish and won’t let you down.

Our Experience with the Graco Ultra Cordless Sprayer

One of the standout features of this cordless sprayer has got to be the pressure controls. You can dial in your PSI just right to match the pace that feels comfortable for you.

The marketing says these controls can help eliminate overspray, and honestly, we found that to be mostly true. You still want to do your due diligence though; mask off your room properly so paint particles don’t settle where they shouldn’t. If you’re working close to tricky spots, extra care is definitely needed.

All in all, the overspray claims hold up pretty well, which is a huge plus when you want a cleaner, more precise paint job.

Issues with Priming the Graco Cordless

We ran into a couple of hiccups with this sprayer losing its prime. Turns out, air can sneak into the flex liner cup if you’re not careful.

The fix is pretty straightforward: just open the VacuValve to release the trapped air. It’s also a good idea to check the gasket and swap out the cup if it’s worn—luckily, that’s covered under the warranty.

One tip we picked up: don’t fill the reservoir all the way when you’re working. Leaving a bit of breathing room seemed to keep the paint flow more consistent and smooth.

Prep Work and Clean Up on Your New Graco Ultra Cordless

It takes about 5 minutes in total to get the sprayer ready for painting after you’ve completed your prep work. Our first cleaning attempt took about 30 minutes.

After a couple of extra days with the unit, the cleanup time could be reduced to about 10 minutes.

When you’re storing your Graco Ultra for any period of time greater than 2 weeks, we recommend you use Graco’s Pump Armor.  This antifreeze and lubricant preserves the pump and other parts inside your sprayer.  If you’re going to spend the money for a good sprayer, protect it!

Conclusion Graco Paint Sprayer

Compared to the older models that used to be manufactured, the Graco Ultra Cordless Airless Handheld Paint Sprayer provides an incredible experience.

We found it to be well worth the investment. It is especially beneficial for locations where there may not be power available for a corded sprayer model.

That means whether you use it for staining, weatherproofing, or painting, this Graco paint sprayer is going to get the job done.
