these are great when using on large project like walls or ceilings. This is the second one I have bought. The last one broke after 25 years of use and may have lasted longer but let someone else use it and they broke it. You have to take some time to take apart and clean parts or it will not work as well but the time you save on larger projects is a lot of time and is so much easier and faster and I just painted a large ceiling and never put down a drop cloth and only paint I got on me was cause I pumped up against something.Great product !!!!!!

I read the reviews and they were mixed and iffy, but decided to give it a try anyway. I carefully followed the directions for using the petroleum jelly everywhere. I tried and tried and tried and could not get it to draw more than an inch or 2 into the tube. While still outside I worked for a fair amount of time to get the roller primed, in case of a mess. When satisfied, I took it inside to the wall and gave it a try. I lasted fine for a couple of minutes, then began leaking all over the floor. Luckily I decided to paint the room before the new carpet was to be installed. So the mess I made on the old carpet will get thrown away. I ended up getting more paint on my and the carpet. After a short while, I was so disgusted, I threw everything in the trash and went back to the roller on a pole method. My handyman did not have any more luck than I did. The concept is great, but it needs to go back to the drawing board for further work.Read full review

Takes a bit of paint to start as the roller soaks it, don't get discouraged once its ready, it works great and saves a ton of time. The down side is the cleaning the holes clog easily and the next time you use it, it may leak from spots if it wasnt cleaned well.

This is my second in about 5 yrs. Just as easy to use as the first. Not sure of the problems encountered by one of the reviewers but took this new one to my son's house and my daughter-in-law assembled, filled with paint and painted a 12x14 room in the house before we even knew she had it. She had never seen this type of device nor does she like painting. After using this smart roller, she loves it. She exclaimed that it was so easy and quick that she wouldn't mind painting more. So I left it there for her use. So for the person having so many problems, sorry for your problems but you may have just got a defective roller. I'm just going to order another cause I'm afraid my daughter-in-law may put up a fight if I ever try to take mine home. This review was not solicited or influenced in any way shape or form and I whole heartedly recommend it for any and all that want to take some of the pain out of painting.Read full review
