Ratings & Reviews for Purdy 9-in x 1/4-in Nap Parrot Smooth Standard Woven Paint Roller Cover

Not acceptable product

Roller leaves curved mark in paint. Now I must sand walls, clean and repaint. What are you going to do about it?

If you buy try on a small part of your project.

I bought these without reding these reviews. Luckly for me I saw these reviews before trying on my actually small finished shiplap wall project. It was already sanded and primed and was ready to pain after nailing to the wall. I want the small no texture appear of a sprayer without using a sprayer. I "de-linted" the brush with tape, washed the brush thoroughly and "de-linted" again with tape after it dried. I tried on only a small section. Well still left lint. Useless product suggest bu...

Good color like a parrot

I think that being a thin roll makes it more precise and leaves a better surface.

Great Product

i keep seeing reviews of these so called "painters" leaving 1 star because it left lint. Any real painter would cover the entire nap with tape to remove any loose lint before painting any surface. This is a good smooth finishing product when used by the right hands.

Great for Cabinets...

Found this at my local hardware store. And love this roller!! Used it on interior trim and cabinets. Works great, no problems.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This product is the only product I use when I apply finish coats on our garage doors, entry doors, or other wood staining projects. I have 15 years of staining/finishing experience on wood products and this product beats them all. I see a lot of terrible ratings on this product. Its unfortunate. Here are 2 basic rules to follow....#1, always de-lint your roller covers. It doesn't matter what type it is. DE-LINT. If you don't know how, its easy, set up your roller and run it up and down some pain...

Do not buy!

I’m generally a big fan of Purdy products when it comes to painting, everything from brushes to roller covers. So when it came time to paint my doors, it was a no brainer to buy a Purdy product. Unfortunately it did not leave a smooth finish and also started to leave lint. Luckily I was able to wipe some of the lint off and hit the door with my foam roller which gave way better results. Purdy, stop selling this garbage, you’re just watering your brand down.

Rough and full of lint

I have been painting for over 50 years and this is the first time that a roller proved to be completely useless after the second stroke. The painted area was full of lint and quite bumpy. It looked the complete opposite of glass-like finish, high quality or professional. Luckily, I was able to wipe off all the paint and save having to sand it off.

Terrible product

I bought this at the suggestion of the salesperson and I couldn’t be more disappointed. This product leaves lint and doesn’t even come close to a mirror finish. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!

Typical Purdy Roller... Excellent

It's a paint roller. 1/4" nap so very smooth, no real texture. Bought for doing my doors. Worked as expected.

Purdy Paint Roller Cover

This Cover was recommended by a Friend and it was perfect for Staining Wooden Floors. Covering was easy and smooth.

Great Stain Applicator

This thin nap roller head really applied the stains evenly and thoroughly without any overlapping or pooling. Helps cut down on wiping and sanding for final coat.

Smooth finish

Used to paint an interior floor. Roller provided good coverage with few errors.

Worked great for our use!

We bought this for rolling on water soluble cement floor sealer and it worked perfectly!

good quality very good price

used on boat painting oil based paint with roll & tip method ,,worked great

Very disappointed

We purchased this 2 pack of the Parrot rollers to paint our new front doors. Also purchased a Purdy brush, will write separate review of it. We were so disappointed in these rollers. We wanted a perfect finish for our new front doors, and everyone recommended this product. We have had to sand and repaint several areas of the doors due to picking lint out of the paint. It was the most money we've ever spent on rollers and a frame, and the worst performing product.
