What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this roller for delivering an exceptionally smooth, mirror-like finish on cabinets, furniture, and trim, with many calling it the best they've used. However, a substantial number report significant lint and fiber shedding that requires delinting before use and sometimes leads to rework. Reviewers also note that results vary based on technique and surface type, with some experiencing skipping or marks if not used with proper pressure and a wet edge. While experienced users swear by it, others feel performance is inconsistent and application instructions are unclear. Despite these concerns, most customers consider the finish quality worth the learning curve.

Sheds like a beast
Would Not RecommendJust tried this with water-based modified urethane semi-gloss. I wrapped the roller with tape to remove loose fibers. Despite this, noticed a ton of loose fibers in the paint
