Make sure you use a better quality paint that is self leveling especially the ones that are intended for trim & cabinets. These paints are not thicker and flow better as they are self leveling. I have used Valspar Cabinet and Trim [lowes.com]
Try with different nozzles to see which ones spray better as different paints perform differently based on the nozzle size. Thicker paints do well with wider opening nozzles and thinner paints do better with narrow ones.
Clean...clean...clean. Make sure you clean up the nozzles right away after you are done. I had made sure to clean-up the nozzles right away even if I am taking a break from painting for 10 mins to ensure the paint does not dry up on me. Most of these sprayers come with a lid to cover the paint reservoir while you are not using.
Follow the sprayer guidelines and ensure the paint is not super thick as that seems to be the most common issue with these sprayers.

Some are saying that the Graco can spray unthinned paint, whereas cheapo China model can't.
Anyone have experience to compare ?

I also tried with a standard latex paint. Even after thinning it, I had trouble not ending up with splotches everywhere.
If you were getting the cheap one, and using it to spray thinner paint, like that valspar example, I think you'll be happy with it. If you want to spray standard one-coat paint + primer, I'd look at something else.

Bottom line: the cheapo model won't save you time. You can't just dump paint in the cup and spray and expect good results. It also won't work very well on large objects. It just doesn't hold enough paint and you waste tons of it to over spray. I bought it to use on tricky pieces that are difficult to paint by brush or roller. (A light fixture, for example.) For that purpose, it works OK for the money.

Even spraying very thick Sherman Williams Everlast Severe weather paint, it does great. At least 50 hours of usage with no issues. I just clean it up nice.
