Would RecommendThis little painter works flawless. I used it for a week straight and put 10 gallons of paint through it painting every day. It was light and easily portable. It made my painting go much quicker. It was easy to take apart to clean.

Not what I thought it would be
Would Not RecommendI don’t like that I wasted most of my paint while using this. This machine also takes up a lot of time to clean out all the paint. Not my best choice.

Wagner painters do not last very long.
Would Not RecommendWhen I got done with my project as I was cleaning the machine, the pump would not shut off so I had to turn off the main switch to stop painting. I called Wagner and they are sending me a new machine.

For bigger jobs
Would RecommendWorked as advertised. Best if your job is at least a very large or two/more rooms of same color. Set up is very fast, clean-up is fairly lengthy - bear that in mind if using multiple wall colors.

Love this roller! Make painting a breeze
Would RecommendI love my little power roller. Eliminates the need to dip your roller over and over again! I will not paint without it. I wish there were days ferret sized roller attachments though!

Thanks for your review.
Great time saver
Would RecommendI bought this to replace a Wagner Power Roller Pro which quit working. This is an improvement over that unit, really saved me time painting a 2 bedroom 900 square foot rental. The included roller is high quality and did a great job, and I love the self cleaning feature. I did modify the cleaning process a little, as my old unit was ruined because paint didn't clean out of the pump inside the unit and I wanted to make sure this one doesn't suffer the same fate. I used a 5 gallon bucket of clean ...

Time saver
I purchased the Smart Sidekick Roller for the specific purpose of painting the exterior of my home. The house siding is stucco; I used a ¾” nap roller with the machine connected to a 5 gallon pail and later with a 1 gallon container. The unit functioned flawlessly making the job easier than expected and I’m sure a lot faster than a conventional roller. Completely Satisfied with the tool and the price was well worth the time and effort it saved. Negatives: The packaging of the unit; the box...

Amazing
Would RecommendGreat roller, used to paint entire 2 bedroom unit. Anyone who has used a regular roller will definitely appreciate the SideKick Roller. Was able to paint entire wall without removing roller from wall. Painted in half the time.

Real Time Saver
Would RecommendPurchased this sidekick to apply solid stain to T-111 siding on my out-building. I purchased a 3/4 nap roller thinking it would reach into the grooves but I still needed a brush to get it all. This was very helpful connecting the sidekick to the 5 gallon bucket and it took me a few minutes to get the rhythm on the paint feed and then I was fine. I put two coats on the building and was very happy with the speed of applying. Clean-up took a little time but I wanted to get all of the paint marks ou...

Time Saver!
Would RecommendI bought the Sidekick because we were selling our house after having rented it out for almost 5 years and knew it would need to be repainted. I found the Sidekick easy to use and probably saved me more than a day of my time. I went through a 5 gallon bucket of paint and finished 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 family room, a hallway, and a laundry room in about 12 hours, over the course of 2 days. Cleaning the Sidekick has a bit of a learning curve, but if you follow the directions, and have a bit...

Button will stick
Would Not RecommendSide kick is a flawed design why use a vacuum actuated switch when there are so many other alternatives. Mine stuck and would leaver painter running dripping paint all over the floors. Contacted customer support they asked for a reciept which I don’t have anymore. I ended up buying a wireless switch to fix the problem
