What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this paint roller. Most praise its time-saving convenience, eliminating paint trays and cutting painting time in half with a mess-free experience. However, a substantial portion report significant drawbacks: excessive paint waste, leakage from the handle and ends, and mechanical failures including the roller detaching unexpectedly or the suction mechanism failing. Many find it heavy for ceiling work and tedious to clean. While efficiency gains appeal to satisfied users, paint waste and reliability issues lead others to return to traditional rollers, reflecting mixed customer sentiment overall.

Would RecommendYes, it takes longer to clean up than throwing away and old style roller. But, bottom line, it lays down a great looking paint job and it's easy to clean with a garden hose and a bucket. Once you clean it once, it's super easy to clean again (learning curve!). Just rinse the roller repeatedly until there's absolutely no paint left. Rince and store the roller in a zip lock bag, with water overnight to make multiple day projects easier, and then do the total roller rinse before you store it aw...
Cant rate zero
Would Not RecommendBought this to roll out a ceiling because I didn’t want to have to tape off for my paint sprayer. I loaded 1/3 of a gallon of ceiling paint in it and started trying to roll and nothing came out. I kept pumping and it eventually started sort of getting wet but even after filling it twice the coverage was horrible. I ended up going back to a regular roller. I can’t recommend this to anyone and will attempt to take mine back as a defective product.

Extremely Inefficient product
Would Not RecommendI rate this a 1 because 0 is not an option. The loading process to get paint into the stick had multiple problems. On a can of paint that only held 1/3 of the can, the suction process to get the paint into the roller would not work (it would not draw paint into the handle). On a full can, I could still only load about half the handle with paint. Once the paint was loaded, getting the paint to feed into the roller went OK, but required many pulls of the trigger handle to resupply the roller. ...
If im going to roll paint something I totally recommend this roller. It makes ur paint job so much easier. You do have to apply pressure to the top of the stick when refilling the stick with paint but other than that and the muscle ur gonna build in ur chest and arms this paint stick is the way to go.

Don't paint amy other way
Would RecommendThese are getting better and better all the time. My first yeats ago was more expensive and not nearly as good. The design is now much better and the price point. Rollers and trays and all cost $30. T his is $29. so much faster and neater way to paint. Your not dripping paint all over. Almost don't need tarps

Read the instructions and you will be happy!
Would RecommendI hate painting. Vehemently. But this has made the process so much neater and quicker, that I didn't mind painting at all. Cleaning it was a little tedious, but honestly, was well worth it. I saw some iffy reviews, but I think if one reads and follows the directions on use and greasing where it is needed and cleaning as it is supposed to - there should be no leaking or trouble. Read the directions! It is not just fill and go.
