How to clean the inside of roller

Would Not Recommend

I hate this. Painting and it splatters rusty colored paint all over my work because water got into the end of the roller and there's no way to dry it out .

Throwing them out

Would Not Recommend

I have two of the mini roller frames and will throw them out. They do not roll after the first use. Unless I can find another frame that fits the Purdy rollers then I'll probably have to throw them out too.

Not re-usable

Would Not Recommend

Had the same issue as a previous reviewer. The roller works well the first time, but when trying to use it a second time, grayish liquid would splatter from inside the roller core (probably water reacting with the metal inside). This is most likely a flaw with the design of the roller since there's no way to dry the inside of the core. I'd recommend staying away from this product if you're planning on using it more than once.

Can not clean inside

Would Not Recommend

I am painting a whole house. Used the roller, works very well, cleaned it but you cannot clean the inside. Next day painting with a much lighter color, new roller, but the gray was coming out from inside, where it had collected from day before and you cannot take it apart to clean inside frame. Too expensive to buy one for every color, shame because it works very well.

Great Product !!

Would Recommend

I bought this roller to paint a room that had a lot of tight spaces and it worked great. It worked so good I ended up painted the rest of the room with it instead of switching to a bigger roller. I used it with the 4in and 6 in sleeves, it rolled smooth every time even after cleaning.

disappointed

Would Not Recommend

I used this once and it worked great! The problem is after the first use, it will not turn freely rendering it useless! A waste of good money!

paint stays inside

Would Not Recommend

I too found this roller frustrating. Paint stays inside the yellow roller. After two weeks of setting, I picked it up to paint some white cabinets and the previous yellow paint starting dripping out. Yikes what a mess! Even after running a stream of water in that small crack it still leaks color. I can't trust it. Returning to Lowe's.
