The SDM15 is another powerful option, particularly suited for medium to large jobs. This model features a robust motor and a compact design, making it both durable and portable. It includes an easy-to-use Control Pro technology, which minimizes overspray while delivering an even finish. Additionally, the SDM15 integrates a built-in filter, enhancing the longevity of the pump by preventing debris from clogging the system.

The convenient compact storage feature makes it ideal for homeowners and occasional users.

On the other hand, the SDP5 is specifically designed for users who prioritize user-friendliness. It includes features like a flexible suction tube, allowing users to paint directly from the can, reducing cleanup. The SDP5 also incorporates Graco’s exclusive SmartControl technology, ensuring consistent power and pressure throughout the spraying process.

All four models share key technologies such as the stainless-steel piston pump, which enhances durability and lifespan and the ability to handle a wide array of coatings without the need for thinning.

In conclusion, whether for professional use with the SDP15 and SDM15 or for home projects with the SDM5 and SDP5, Graco's lineup provides a range of versatile, efficient, and user-friendly options. Their focus on technology and practical features makes them a top choice for all painting needs.
