Im looking to buy a paint sprayer to paint my house, does anyone know what is the cheapest paint sprayer I could buy that will support the use of normal emulsion paint ?
 
Currently using this setup to spray my self build and it works a treat, ceilings are a bit of a pain due to mavity fed gun but couldn't warrant spending on buying/renting an airless system for 5x the cost.

You are right the ones that do a decent job are 3 times as much the one im looking at is 470

so this setup works with emulsion without diluting ?

how much of a issue did you have with ceilings it would be a issue if the main reason for buying still needs to be done manually.
 
I'm using super laytex white emulsion which is a sprayable paint mixed 90 paint 10 water and the finish is great, I'm then using a roller for coloured coats on the walls, the amount of time and work it's saved me with the mists coats is unbelievable.

The solution to the ceiling is only filling the paint pot halfway so that it doesn't slosh out over you, and spraying at a slightly flatter angle.
