Ratings & Reviews for Purdy 9-in x 1/4-in Nap Parrot Smooth Standard Woven Paint Roller Cover
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this roller for delivering glass-like, professional-grade finishes that rival spray application, particularly on cabinets, furniture, and trim with polyurethane and enamel paints. The 1/4 inch nap and sturdy construction enable smooth, even coverage with minimal texture. However, many report significant lint shedding that requires sanding and repainting despite pre-treatment efforts. Some users note the roller performs exceptionally well with oil-based products and can be reused after washing. While lint contamination remains a frustration for a notable portion of reviewers, most who follow proper technique consider the finish quality worth the effort.

Great Stain Applicator
Would RecommendThis 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.

Very disappointed
Would Not RecommendWe 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.

Left lint!!
Would Not RecommendNot happy like a lot of others. I read about these rollers before I purchased and followed advice from others about washing and using 5 in 1 tool under running water before using and it did not help. Thought I made it worse so opened up the second roller and used tape to get any lint off and I still had lint all through my paint.

Perfect for Epoxy Flooring
