Great product but the accessory (replacement) rollers are a bit pricey. It eliminates the use of a roller tray, which I absolutely loved. Ease of use allows you to move from room to room for easy touch ups. I initially couldn't draw the paint out of the can into the tool, so I recommend pressing your hand on top of the cover to remove excess air, then try and draw the paint into the tool.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am a terrible painter. Until I bought this product. This product not only made my finished product look amazing, But the project took less than half as long as it would have otherwise. The application of the paint was smooth, I had no excess, no runs, no spatter, and clean up was a breeze. If you are considering this product, I can testify I was not disappointed. An excellent value for the price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Like all Wagner products that I have tried, this one starts out fine, and ends in a mess. See that roller pad? Well, when I was 12 feet in the air on a ladder in a stairwell that pad came flying off, causing a near perfect storm of paint mess as paint and paint soaked roller flew down the stairs and I was left with a dripping paint stick. I tried it again later and it worked well for a while - until the roller came off again. If you install the optional spatter shield I think that will hold the roller pad on there. Maybe. The clean-up is a hassle, and this thing is not good in tight spaces. Please don't waste your money.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This product works great. We have used it over and over again and friends have borrowed it as well. Never any problems with function. Easy to use and it works well. Others we know have tried the less expensive brands of this same type of product and found they didn't work as well, this one you will be happy with though. Worth the money if you are going to do a large room or lots of painting.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Better than a sprayer

Even the best sprayer creates overspray. This roller gives you the control and coverage of a conventional roller with nearly the speed of a sprayer. I recently bought a house that desperatly needed painting in every room, including the ceilings,and this roller made it go fast. Cleanup was surprisingly easy as well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a wondful product and will help you finish your job in half the time. You do have to save an hour to do clean up, and make sure you have warm water and a large bucket. But otherwise, it is a wonderful product.
Yes, I recommend this product.

It is nice, but, unless you are doing a very large area, it uses to much excess paint......and gets a little heavy when doing overhead..
No, I do not recommend this product.

I am so glad I found this product and was able to read the previous reviews. I wasted so much time with regular rollers and the dip paint dip paint routine. This paintmate was amazing, I am a super-novice painter (1st timer) and I achieved professional results. Cleaning was easy and I will be using only this for my future painting projects. Super product, highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this product.

this roller kit is very helpful but only if you are doing a large wall! The clean up takes time and it is hard to move in tight spaces with it, but if you have a large wall it DOES save time.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This product was a life saver. It worked better than we had expected. It painted evenly and it was so much faster that a regular roller and pan.
Yes, I recommend this product.
