ᐅ Is it possible for a non-professional to spray walls and ceilings? Any experiences?

We want to paint our house ourselves.
Now I’m wondering whether to go the traditional route with a roller throughout the whole house or if it might make sense to invest around 600 EUR in an airless sprayer to save a significant amount of time.
Masking tape is necessary for both methods anyway.

Has anyone here done this before and gained experience?
Would you do it the same way again or rather not?

What pressure should be set on a WagnerControl pro 250R?

It depends on the color and the nozzle. Usually closer to the maximum.

large hair strainers for little money

What term should I search for? I only find siphon strainers when looking for hair strainers...
I accidentally got some sand in my nearly full paint bucket and would like to strain it out.

Thanks

We bought a device like that to try it out. After finishing the hallway, we spent over 2 hours cleaning it, packing it up, and returning it.

Seriously?

And regarding the color... would regular hardware store paint (Alpina) also work, or does it have to be specifically airless paint?
I assume you have to dilute any paint...

Of course. It was just a portable device from the hardware store, definitely not comparable to professional airless sprayers. But those cost about ten times as much.
