Rank #9 in Best Paint Sprayer 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Fields That Don't Add Up
Einhell TE-SY 18/90 Li-Solo Cordless Paint Sprayer
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Einhell TE-SY 18/90 Li-Solo is a cordless, hand-held paint spray gun that lands at number 9 in this guide. It arrives as a bare tool: the listing's own final bullet states that it requires an 18V Power X-Change battery and charger, both sold separately, so the £107.98 buys the gun, the 1200 ml tub and the accessories rather than a kit you can switch on out of the box.
The number worth stopping on is the spray rate. One bullet promises up to 1000 ml a minute; the specification table lists a 1200 ml paint container. Put the two together and a full tub is spent after roughly 72 seconds of continuous spraying — which sits awkwardly beside the same page's 'Recommended Uses For Product' entry of 'Paint large areas'. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this sprayer, not from any hands-on test of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Habe nun endlich heute mein Gartenhaus mit dem Farbspritzgerät einen neuen "Anstrich" verpasst.Die Farbe ist auf wasserbasis entwickelt.Für das Gartenhaus habe ich ca. 7-8 Liter Farbe gebraucht.Ich habe die schwarze Düse mit 2,5mm eingesetzt. Nach ein paar Einstellungen ging es dann richtig los und es gab keine Tropferei wie mit einem Pinsel.Auch konnte man ziemlich gut Linien einhalten und ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Farbspritzgerät.Ein negativer Punkt hätte ich allerdings, man sollte genug Akkus und Ladegeräte haben, sonst gibt es Zwangspausen.Das Reinigen ist so einfach, auch dies ist ein Grund Farben auf Wasserbasis einzusetzen, just unter fließendem Wasser mit einer Bürste reinigen, auch für die Farbdüsen Zusammensetzung an Teilen so einfach gehalten und sehr gut durchdacht.Das Geld wurde sehr gut angelegt und würde ich wieder kaufen.Gut ein Auto würde ich wahrscheinlich damit nicht lackieren, aber das brauche ich ja auch nicht.Auf jeden Fall Daumen nach oben und empfehle es weiter.”
Verified purchase“Das Gerät hat mich positiv überrascht. Habe heute mit Löschkalk den Stall gestrichen. Alle bisher versuchten Spritzen sind daran gescheitert - sie waren schnell verstopft. Dieses Gerät hat durchgehalten bis zum Schluss.Ein Verbesserungsvorschlag hätte ich: ein größerer Tank wäre schön gewesen.”

How much paint does the tank hold?
The specification table lists a 1200 ml paint container, supplied with a lid and a measuring scale.
