I don't have this exact model but I have one that's similar (Vonforn) meaning same venturi-style sprayer. These type of sprayers (HVLP) work by forcing air at high speed past a nozzle which using the venturi effect, suctions paint from the cup and forces it through a nozzle to disperse it. The key to using this style of sprayer is getting the viscosity right - too thick (e.g. right out of the can) and you'll get spatter. Too thin and it will run. That's why most of these will include a DIN cup for measuring viscosity.
I used one of these for a bedroom, but getting the viscosity right was a pain in the ass, and refilling the cup many times was a hassle too. Because these use air to convey the paint, they're prone to the nozzle clogging from dried paint, which is yet another hassle to clean.
Perhaps the biggest hassle is prep. You WILL get overspray. There's no way around it. Even if you don't go spraying willy nilly everywhere, you'll get paint settling everywhere in the room. It will probably take you more time to get this setup than it's worth.
Lastly, the main issue with spraying interior walls is that should they ever need touchup, there's no way you'll match the texture of spray with a brush or roller. That's why most pros will basically just use the sprayer to get paint on the walls and have a second person back rolling the entire job to get a more even application but also to set the texture.
After this type of model I moved up to a prosumer version (Wagner 130). It's a bit better in that you don't have to thin the paint, but the lack of being able to control pressure (at all) means if you get tailing, you then need to modify the viscosity, which is basically the entire reason for getting a pressure unit. Then there's cleanup, and of course all the same overspray problems.
Sorry for the dissertation but IMHO paint sprayers aren't as useful for indoor painting as you'd think - maybe if you have to prime or paint ceilings in a very large multiple room area, but certainly not for single room applications. Probably the best application for sprayers like these (cheap HVLP) are small furniture projects and maybe fences or decks (if you can tolerate overspray and refilling the cup constantly).

I thinned the paint plus I added flow-enhancing additive to be on the safe side. It works fine but the head get very hot and I had to take breaks even though it's only one regular sized door. With stain you may not even have to thin it. Just take it slow and you should be fine. The price is almost use once and done but I cleaned mine well and am holding on to it for the next project.
I probably wont' use something like this for big job like wall painting for small projects it's fine.

I did my research on these cheap sprayers and I saw a lot of "overspray" comments. Additionally the reservoir is relatively small so expect a lot of refills for any sized bedroom vs say a cabinet door.
They also don't last long so like one commenter said, you might treat this as a disposable tool. I
