Bought a cheap paint sprayer for my kitchen cabinets and it cost me more in the end

I got a no-name sprayer for about $80 to save money on my cabinet project. It clogged every ten minutes and left a rough, uneven finish. I ended up having to sand everything down and buy a proper brush set, which set me back another $120. Has anyone found a sprayer under $200 that actually works for a full room?

My buddy's cheap sprayer ruined his whole project, so what's the point of saving a few bucks?

Richard_ramirez is right about cheap tools costing more in the end. A bad sprayer wastes paint and time, which adds up fast. It's better to buy something decent once.
