Any recomendations on a good paint sprayer. Mostly interior latex. Something durable and the easier to clean the better.

titian 440... simple, easy, will spray about anything short of block filler... can spray fine enough that i've painted equipment & my dumptrucks and they sure don't look like they were painted with an airless... can spray 5 gal of good latex in about 45 min. with the right tip and if you keep move'n... seems i use a 517 tip the most... it doesn't have a "pump" exactly... ck their web site but u can field strip it in less than 15 min... i have bigger sprayers but i always grad one of the 440's around here onsale.. maybe $1000? ebay maybe 400.00 pawnshop if ur lucky $250... i try to keep seperate guns & hoses for different type paints...

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
I'll second the titan 440i...have had one for 3 years, has never had any failure related downtime and cleans easy. Sherwin Williams is running them on sale now for $796 with gun, hose, and a few tips.
Similar size, weight, etc is the Graco 395. Depending on the sale of the minute, you can get them down in the $800 range with a couple of bennies thrown in. The one thing I like about the Graco over the Titan is that the main filter is top accessible, easier to clean it. Other than that, they're both decent pumps, both low side of the price scale, and suited to just what you asked for - intermittent. And they use the same tips (or can, you can put the nex RacX head on the Graco and make them happy that you can't use anyone elses tips anymore if you want . . .)
I'm biding my time for the next Pro Show from SW, gonna pick up a MarkV I think. Texture, anyone?

how different is the 395 from the 333???

WOW!!! What a Ride!
I DK the answer to that. I haven't used (or even seen) a 333. Best guess is it's an older version of the same beast. The 395 is a little guy, same size more or less as the Titan 440. Roughly the same gpm and pressures. It does fine for the times I need it (ceilings, doors, occasional siding priming). But for something like that Builders Solution I've fallen in love with, no dice. Not enough juice, and you need a big pump with a ceramic ball. The inlet on the MarkV is about the size of a soda can. The intake on the 395 is probably 3/4"."If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man." - Mark Twain
the 333 is huge dual gun set up..

thanks to all who replied. Just getting back to the messages after a weekend working on the new house. Will check out both the graco and titan, but I think I've seen the Graco around alot more so it may have better support here???
Thanks Again

The titan 440 is a good pump, but so is the graco 395. If you plan on spraying anything flamable like lacquer, get the graco. They have enclosed motors. The 440 now has something that they're calling an enclosed motor, but when I talked to my supplier a while ago they said that it technically wasn't, it was more explosion resistant than explosion proof.
Ditto on the Graco, We love ours and get good service locally
I have used smaller wagner diaphram pumps over the years and bought a Spraytech EP2105 piston pump when we built our house last/this year. It was purchased through Kelley Moore Paints in Olympia. It will spray up to a 19/1000ths tip. Mine came with a hose and, a good G10 or a similar model gun with reversable tip. I paid around. There should be one near you. Check all of the other paint stores like Kelley Moore, Sherwin Williams, BenMoore, etc. There is usually one having a sale on sprayers. One's on sale might be a graco, sprayteck, or other good quality brand.
