Have some furniture to paint and eventually will be painting kitchen cabinets.
Anybody has any recommendations or experience with them?
Thanks in advance.
Edit to add info that I do not have big enough air compressor to run one that requires it. So looking for electric one.

Graco is the heavy duty version. Harbor freight makes a knock off that is cheaper, not sure how it works.
I have a wagner that does a good job for smaller stuff.

I have the graco 20 volt. Perfect for small jobs. Easy cleanup and you don’t waste a bunch of paint running through a hose.

I'll probably get shite on for this rec, but I was cleaning out some old stuff from my dad's garage recently and came across his PaintZoom set up.
I have a fancy HVLP which is powered by my compressor and it's always a PITA to wheel it out and mess around with long hoses so I decided to give this PaintZoom a go.
It's freaking great. No sputter, no missed areas (provided you clean it properly which *is a must*). It was 80-100 bucks and it plugs in which negates a compressor. Highly recommend.

I recently purchased a Fuji Q5 Platinum turbine system. I havent had the chance to use it yet. We are currently in the process of building a house, and will be refinishing and painting a lot of furniture.
The 5 stage is probably overkill, but it will do everything I want. They make a mini mite 3 stage turbine sprayer that is significantly cheaper and has great reveiws. The advantage of the turbine sprayers is that there is little over spray and less wasted paint. I also have a graco airless that does a good job, but that thing has a ton of over spray.

Graco is the way to go.
I used a bunch of these over the years...
...because they're cheap and a better option than brushing and rolling on most projects. However, they clog easily and splatter all the time. I threw 2 of them away a couple of months ago and bought this bad boy...
...GAME CHANGER!! If you can justify the cost it's worth it.
ETA Regarding your question about overspray--its minimal and honestly better control than the handheld sprayers. I haven't used it inside yet. You would obviously have to protect some surfaces. How much all depends on your skill level.
