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.

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.......
