My Review on the new SATAjet X5500 

Like any issue, get in touch with who you bought it from or reach out to your SATA rep. I'm aware of what gunman says about them and that's his opinion, much like I have mine. Personally, if theres an issue, I get with the manufacture

I happy with sata.... Very happy. I found both your vids searching issue. Problem, i bought it new, factory sealed sata box. Its very loud.. Has a 1/4" stream before it starts fanning. I seen his video on the air cap issues he had with his x5500 demos. I will call sata and see my local dealer. Thank you.

I personally have a few 5000 hvlp's with 1.4 nozzle sets. For me, they help with metallic orientation in solvent painting alot. 400 is a great price if its clean and well kept. There are knockoffs yes. Engraving is different, air cap rings are different, writing on thr gun is all different. Reach out to Sata with the gun's SAL number and they can authenticate it

@@inthehomeshop I noticed this one does have the green chip in the bottom of the handle , from a bit of research I found the knock offs won't have that mark . I will reach out to sata thanks for the feedback.

I use my 5500 for clear currently. However, I am at a shop that sprays spies water now. I use the WSB setup in both a 4000 and 5000(hvlps). If running an RP, a 1.2 is recommended. That particular water is recommended to spray at 22-25 psi.....which I believe converts to 1.5-1.7 bar. Full trigger on fluid.

I tried the I nozzle and it wasn't for me.

Same here. It depended on what clear I was using as to which seemed to fit me best.

RP and hvlp are completely different.

Like what you did in this review. You have 1 sata x 5500 and you have several nozzle kit. Instead of buying 2 sata X.

@@iammcmags6557 keep within the hvlp or RP setup of the gun and you'll be golden😎

@@inthehomeshop thanks for the time.. 😊

@@iammcmags6557 anytime man. I dont upload videos regularly, so I try to stay on top of comments and helping

If there was an issue, why didn't you contact SATA? They do a great job of taking care of customers. Plus you can register the gun for their warranty. Sorry man, but complaining online for not checking with them first is messed up

@@inthehomeshop I thought it was just how the gun was, so I compensated for the strange fan pattern. I should have registered for the warranty... I may sound like a dick but why is the most expensive gun on the market being sent out faulty when they're supposedly hand tested. The gunman, a youtuber got 3 5500x's from sprayguns direct to review. 2 of the 3 were faulty!!! What the fuck! Like a $1000 spray gun shouldn't have issues. An iwata w400 or my tekna prolite, cheap guns have sprayed better and never had issues. I bought a sata 3000 rp nearly a decade ago, best gun I've ever owned and sata has just missed the mark since. I just dont get it.

@@BretBunton I feel bad for yall who have gotten bad one. I personally dont know anyone who has gotten a bad one or had a bad experience with the 55's. What I can recommend, and just try, is call this number: 800-533-8016. Ask for their repair department and tell em what happened. I've dealt with many gun companies over the years but SATA has been the best when it comes to handling things with its customers. Worth a shot😎, I hate anyone spending money and not being happy. But I still wouldve reached out to them ASAP brother😎. Keep me in the loop and let me know!

@@inthehomeshop I really appreciate the info. I have a nozzle set coming from the UK. Hopefully, that fixes the issue. I'll call Sata and maybe send them my old nozzle set so they can maybe see what's up with it. I definitely should've trusted my gut it knowing something was off, but my brain told me, no.... it cant be. It's a sata lol

Ive had mine since....a couple months after the gun got released i believe it was. I havent had a single problem out of mine. There's no issue with them not having distribution rings because everything is machined into the nozzle itself, much like some of the older guns they used to make. Ive heard the same that they had some issues with some, but with mine I haven't experienced it, so I can't say yay or nay on that one.

BoothTalk bought two of them and haven’t had any problems either

Is your pressure guage in psi? I bought one and it's in bar. . . Is there a way to change it?

@@conceptdesigns4100 Its bar or psi. Can't change it

@@jeremyoetken2094 that really sucks since that's the entire reason I bought this gun so I could see the pressure right there but I guess I should have done more research. You'd think 1000$ for a gun you would be able to change it. 😕

Yep. I thought the same. I believe it was my old jet 90 that was the same way. I know my 90-2 i have currently is the same as well. I just like its one less part to replace in the grand scheme of things.

@@inthehomeshop I've heard good things about the Jet 90 actually lol

@@djentleman7 nothing wrong with the old jet 90s! Workhorse guns

Larry Soto Our rep has been a SATA guy all his career, I think the only gun he uses that isn’t SATA is his Iwata for clear. I think it stings a little when he talks about it 😂

bro thats fun i feel vise versa iwata i prefer for base and my sata for clear

I wanted to see if it was legit. 😎

iwata is one of the best gun , and devilbiss ....

@@DjJoeEmeric and Sata Is number 3??

@@Jaimerga after i have tested and using some of them for me Sata is at 3rd place.

havent been getting comment notifications for some reason....sorry! It all depends on what clear you spray and how you spray it. This is why I always tell people to setup a demo first!

Spraygunsdirect has them. Also PMP. Only 2 sites I found them on. I had to get some for my faulty 1.3 I nozzle. Bottom part of the fan is uneven

Depends on the clear. I'm around 27

You can tell me .what gun should buy to paint with. And good price

Score a devilbis tekna pro lite. In. The nozzle size of your choice. All depends on whaaaa t you are using. Viscosity wise

I have put my pro lite through hell and back.. Still sprays beautiful... Idk why.

And thr guy asked for a good price.. Don't try to tell me sata are priced well. And I have them. I have a gun buying affliction

@@michaelramos3116 best bang for your buck is an iwata lph-400. Don't buy SATA

Didnt buy an hvlp. Got the RP. I will only ever tell you guys about stuff I've personally used. I'll never tell you hearsay about a product😎

@@inthehomeshop I was just curious because I just started using my new Sata 5500 guns a week ago. I have an RP 1.2 O for clear and HVLP 1.3 O for base (solvent). My Sata rep recommended HVLP for base coat. I used an RP for base coat for a couple of years with my Sata 5000 with no problem. I guess the HVLP doesnt over atomize the base coat and is more material saving.

@@jandrew93 all good. I'm just saying basically I wont comment on things I havent used. In the 5000s, I use an hvlp for metallics and always have. Love em

@@inthehomeshop ok thx.

Never said I was😂. Last shop I was at, it seemed like all we did was bumpers.

What didn't spray? If there was an issue, send it back and they'll warranty it

Nor do I. But I had to do it to prove it true😎

BoothTalk oh ok👍🏼

There is no comparison. 2 totally different guns. Go watch my 2 videos on them

Depends on what you bought, what your preferences are, and fan pattern. Hvlp? Rp? I or O nozzle? What are you used to spraying with? Did you demo one? Did you download the nozzle finder app?
