A waist of moneyDecember 3, 2007 A. Fenwick 33 out of 33 found this review helpful
I brought this as i thought it would make decorating easy, i was wrong, firstly you almost break your fingers trying to release the lid where the paint goes in which after using is fun as everything gets covered with paint when it does release, It took ages to get paint to come through and the edger is rubbish doesn't release any paint, and when got paint in it weighs a ton, If anyone was thinking of this i would suggest looking around for a cheaper make as just seen a different one in betterware catalogue at 10..
Best Buy I Ever MadeDecember 12, 2007 Martha Morris(UK) 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
Saw this advertising on the tv shopping channel and thought it looked great and to easy to be true. Tried and tested the cheaper versions around on the market like this but they really do not compare to this model at all.
I bought this one after a while and after reading the instructions, decided to buy cheap paint so I wouldn't need to water it down as much since cheap paint is very runny anyway. Filled the runner up and hey presto, I could paint with no drips, no mess and had a very happy carpet that usually gets covered when I am painting. It did exactly as I wanted it to and expected it to.
The edging tool is not the greatest but when that is just a bonus tool I wasn't bothered about it as the main roller itself worked wonders.
poor and frustratingMarch 13, 2008 Mark D. Holtom(UK) 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought this and it simply didn't work well. The main problem was that the material the roller surface is made from just pilled and balled up giving a crappy finish and requiring to be cleaned up every 5 minutes.
The coverage and usage was exactly the same as i would get from a normal cheap roller. This roller was too heavy to fit onto the extension stick and so you have to do everything by hand with a 1kg roller full of paint - not really that comfortable.
All in all, a complete waste of money.

i bought this system cos im fed up with having to be up and down loading paint onto either a roller or paint pad. i wasnt sure it would work but i was desperate so had to give it a go. How pleased was i that i did. It makes painting almost a pleasure- just load up your paint into the roller and off you go for about 2 walls of a big room. It seems best if you water down the paint a bit but not a lot or you lose coverage. No more spray or drips- no need for dust sheets or protective gear. My only criticsm is that the extending handle they provide is quite flimsy and when the roller is fully loaded it is heavy. i managed to emulsion using 2 coats my large bedroom including the ceiling all in 1 day- amazing! Highly recommended.

This is probably the worst 'labour saving' and 'time saving' gadget I have ever purchased. The paint either would not pass through the roller when undiluted, or poured through the roller when diluted according to manufacturers instuctions. I have consigned it to the rubbish skip where it belongs. In the time it would have taken to get the paint to the correct consistency I could have painted the room with an artists brush!
