Wasted $80 on a cheap paint sprayer from Amazon for my kitchen cabinets

I figured I'd save time on my kitchen cabinet refinish by buying a budget HVLP sprayer online instead of renting one. After 3 attempts and a ton of cleanup, the finish looked like orange peel and my wife said it looked worse than the old cabinets. Ended up having to sand everything down and spend $65 to rent a proper sprayer from Home Depot for a day. Has anyone else here had bad luck with those cheap sprayers or is it just me?

Oh man, did you thin the paint enough before you started?
