Ratings & Reviews for Mr. LongArm Smart Painter Roller Frame with Pole 9-in Metal Standard Paint Roller Frame

Broke in first use

This extended roller kept collapsing on my instead of staying extended. Finally I gave up and taped the pole with the roller to a spare rode I had in my house. It would not stay extended and it felt like with every rolling motion it loosened so it could not stay extended.

Painted basement floor

Thought the guard would help with getting close to walls.... It did but it is more of a hassle then its worth, the handle takes a lot of muscle to extend or collapsed and the cover just adds a headache.

Did not really help with the guard. It got in the way.

Angle matters

This ability built and is easy to use. However the cover doesn’t adjust with the angle of the extension. It does manually but when you move out a few feet and the angle changes the cover scrapped my ceiling. Ended up taking it off.

Go with a wood pole.

The "splash guard" is worthless. You cannot fill your roller with it on. The pole bends and wears your arms out trying to paint a textured ceiling. Will never use anything but a wood pole again.

Disappointed

Should have paid more and bought a more stable roller. It was loose and really only good for one time use.

Disappointing

I got this because I had to prime and paint a dark red ceiling. The cover isn't that easy to work with when you're getting paint on the roller. So, I took the cover off and found that the handle was a little flimsy and felt lopsided when I was using it. Overall, I was unimpressed.

Works, but very lightweight

Bought this to KILZ our floor and the handle was a bit too flexible to get good coverage. Ended up replacing the handle with our broom handle. Worked great!

Not great

Bought this product and hated it. Went back and bought a wooden one. Very flimsy.

No for me

I found this item to be more pain than it’s worth.

Flimsy. Broken after 2 uses.

- The plastic pieces that keep the splatter shield broke after an hour in to the second use, so the shield useless. - The washer fastening the handle to the roller frame snapped off, so the roller became useless. - The extension pole broke after about 2 hours. The metal on the end warps easily and the pole stop being adjustable. Now I have a black, 5 ft. broom handle.

Worked great

I took the plastic guard off I only wanted the roller and stick. It worked great.

Worked great no drips on the floor

The roller worked really well we had no drips on the floor when we did the ceilings at my daughters hours

Paint roller

Tbh I just randomly grabbed this. Well, I'm pretty I did. I'd recommend this to any beginner.

LongArm roller

Make sure that the pieces fit together before leaving the store. Mine did not and I had to just use the roller on a deck floor without the handle. My efficiency was poor, as was the distribution of the seal.
