Ratings & Reviews for Purdy 4.5-in x 1/4-in Nap Parrot Smooth Mini Woven Paint Roller Cover
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Would RecommendThe smaller roller tended to slide rather than roll on smooth surfaces. The result was uneven coverage. The problem was insufficient weight on the small roller to generate the necessary friction for it to roll.
Garbage
Would Not RecommendTrim looked like the moon after using this. Luckily I was able to wipe it off. I usually use foam rollers but thought I would give this a try.

Stay away! Lint, lint, and lint
Would Not RecommendI thought this would be the best roller cover for smooth surface, even the package says "very smooth". In fact, I went extra miles to get this, and the roller frame this junk needs, hoping this would give me the smoothest surface. WHAT A MISTAKE! This piece of junk lints everywhere. You will end up spending lots of time getting new roller cover, sanding out the lint, and repainting. Do not make the same mistake as I did, and stay away from it.

Works Perfectly!
Would RecommendWithout question, this roller works outstanding when rolling kitchen cabinet boxes on site (spraying doors, etc. off-site). I have not checked the mil thickness but this roller works perfectly on both vertical and horizontal surfaces laying on tops coats of either Benjamin Moore Advanced Gloss or Satin, and also for top coats of Farrow & Ball Full Gloss. These rollers in capable hands, will lay the pain on beautifully. *And DON'T tell me about lint from the roller in your paint! Come on.......

Best roller for oil paint
Perfect for Polyurethane. Did not like that Lowe’s doesn’t have this product on the shelf and the need for custom order
