I have a large house to paint and was thinking of getting a paint sprayer but want a good one - any recommendations ?

I spray emulsion on a professional basis and to be honest I wouldn’t know what to use that is on the DIY market that would be any good, I strongly suspect they won’t have the power to spray emulation paint unless is it heavily watered down in which case you could end up giving every room 6 coats, or it will spray but it will be incredibly slow. There is a couple of things you should know if you are planning on spraying walls rather than brushing.
You need to fully mask up everything you don’t want overspray on as it will EVERYWHERE, if you want the ceiling a different colour than the walls then you’ll need to mask it once you’ve paint it. Another thing to be aware of spraying takes less coats but it uses a shed load more paint, again because of the overspray and the washing out.
If you do want to go full on professional then look at this or something similar, https://www.sprayplant.co.uk/products/graco-gx-21-airless-sprayer.
But again, be aware of what you are taking on, this thing generates pressure in the 1000’s of Psi at the tip if not used correctly it can seriously hurt you.
