Ratings & Reviews for Purdy 15 -Pack 9-in x 3/8-in Nap Marathon Standard Knit Paint Roller Cover

Best Roller Covers in the business!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I buy these rollers in bulk for my painting business. They hold a ton of paint and they last for multiple projects (if you have enough patience to wash them). They leave a high quality finish and can be used with almost any paint that I am using. They are very versatile and I use them for both interior and exterior applications.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our professional Painting etc. business we always use Purdy we love the marathon's smooth full coverage

Like roller when it rolls.

Used with 18" Purdy Revolution frame. Worked great for about 15 minutes. Then paint got in the roller end holes where the frame projections are inserted. From then on the roller slid instead of rolled. I could only get it to roll if I thumped the roller on the wall to jar it loose. Then it was 50/50 if it would roll or slide. The Revolution frame is solid and sturdy. The Marathon roller cover applied paint well and I would use it instead of other brands if I can get it to roll. Any suggesti...

1 star is being generous

Finally gave up on picking lint out of fresh paint. Have to return for a new set of rollers. Garbage product.

terrible product don't buy

I bought two 18" 3/8 nap rollers. upon using immediately tufts of fiber came loose; stuck with it and had to keep cleaning. the longer i went with it, it calmed down but what a hassle ; didn't dare open the second roller just wrapped the first and kept using until done. Cannot believe Purdy would put out such a poor product.

Had some concerns,

I have used Purdy Brushes in the past and was overwhelm in how much better they painted then some of the less expensive brushes. For that reason I thought I would try one of their rollers. As I was using it I was disapointed in the fact it seemed to be matting up as I used it. The paint did go on fine but I was concerned with how it seemed to matt. After I finished though the paint did look great and the finish was perfect. Will use again!

cost more then average

never saw this roller until I was in Canadian Tire Bracebrisge and thought I would give it a try .Yes slightly more expensive BUT what a joy to work with. I will keep a supply on hand from now on. Never read the package before but paint ability for holding and NO splatter way above expectation. will always keep on hand

I have used the purdy marathon roller covers for years absolutely loved them it seems that lately they shed which cost me time and money.

The purdy marathon roller covers shed very badly. I could take my hand and rub over the cover and get wads of loose threds. I tape it and it pulls even more threds out and once you get to the point of no more threds coming out when you put it in the Pant and begin to roll the wall little fuzzy threds come out all over in the paint.

Perfect! Holds Paint and gives a Smooth Finish!

I spent lots of money on my paint, so I figured I might as well have a quality roller cover to apply the paint on my walls. I've used cheap roller covers in the past, never again! Marathon was GREAT! It applied the paint very nicely and held lots of paint so I didn't have to keep going back to the tray. I painted my room much faster with this roller cover than others I've used in the past.

Leaves fuzzies from first roll until you throw it away

Using this roller is great if you want to wreck your walls. Why would you make an application tool that leaves the tool on the wall. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of painting. Wasted money on a three pack of these plus time and paint wasted. Lesson learned.

Terrible

Kept sliding off roller. Actually ballooned up on one end. I'll never use again.

Terrible

Terrible product all around, sheds like hel. Not even in the same ballpark as super fab, don't waste your money.

amazing roller cover

As a painting contractor with more than 45 years of hands-on experiences. I can say that the Purdy 'Marathon' 1/2' nap roller I received via promotional mailing, is more than adequate for any smooth or light textured latex/oil paint project the average home owner (or contractor for that mater) would ever need. This covers' core feels strong with a nylon/polyester, (this combination has proven to be more durable in paint brush bristle production) fabric face held a more than adequate amount of pa...

great product

this is a roller cover that holds alot of paint which is a great time saver and it leaves a nice smooth finish

quality roller cover by purdy

this marathon roller cover was mailed out to me awhile back and i just started using it yesterday . it does pick up a good amount of material and release it well . i am using the1/2 inch cover on smooth walls i think it works great. good size stipple. i will continue using it on this job. CODE A1W806

GREAT ROLLERS

NICE SMOOTH FINISH WORKS VERY WELL ON WALLS ,CEILINGS

Purdy Marathon

I found the Purdy marathon roller cover held more paint than most covers I have ever used. The half inch works good on flat and eggshell finishes anD the 3/8 worked good on Satin and left too much stipple for semi gloss when a 5/16 or 1/4 would work better. It certainly did speed up production on my jobs. Ithe was a little fuzzy the first us, almost needs washed and spun out first.

This product has great features

I was very pleased with the use of this product. It rolls smoothly and evenly. The application process was very effective and the final outcome looked great.

No lint and paints further.

Received sample in the mail and will be my future roll cover.

MARATHON ROLLER COVER

I USED MY MARATHON COVER THE OTHER DAY AND LET ME TELL YOU, I AM VERY IMPRESSED. I HAVE USED YOUR PAINT BRUSHES FOR 20 PLUS YEARS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN LET DOWN. I WILL PUT THE ROLLER COVER IN THE SAME CATEGORY. THE ROOM LOOKED GORGEOUS WHEN I WAS FINISHED. YOU COLD SEE NOT ONE LAP MARK AND THE DIMPLE LEFT WAS SUTTLE BUT PLEASING TO THE EYE. I HAVE SHARED THIS INFO WITH OTHER PAINTERS AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE YOUR COVERS! I AM PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT100%.
