Wagner SMART Edge Paint Roller - Automatic Power Paint Roller System

Love it. Works well if you read instructions and double check YouTube etc. Quite easy to use with the wall protector. Painted a kitchen ceiling edge (including round an extractor fan) very quickly, no taping off at all. It doesn't reach right into corners leaving about an inch square which needs touching up with a brush (which I screwed up!). So maybe lesson learnt is to tape and brush the corner first and then do the edges. Rest of ceiling with a normal roller but still used this small one near the spotlights as easier control.

Completely waste if money and just scratch my wall

Used it for the first time today. Didn't thing the edger was going to work so well. Now I'm very impressed!!!

very pleased with this item. Does the job well

The paint couldn't come out adequately onto the roller then start squirting out into the handle.what a mess. Should have just stuck to freehand

I’m terrible at cutting in and it takes me forever. Usually a wobble even using tape etc. Got this and took me an hour to do a few rooms and there was no marks on the ceilings or skirtingboard. It was perfect. Chore to clean but I did all the rooms I needed to and threw it away in the end .. will get another one though for when I decorate next. Can’t fault the item.

Wouldn't recommend it

It made a really messy line working with thick emulsion paint. It might be better with thin paint, but nothing mentioned in instructions. Cleaning thoroughly this tool took around 30 min using warm tap water and Fairy. Reluctant to use this tool again as used always yellow Frog tape, just take it off when still wet and paint line is perfect. Second trial after 4 weeks. Tried it once again with thinned emulsion and result was as bad as before. No sharp paint line achieved between two different colours. looking deeper in the idea of construction of this paint roller there is no doubt why is not making desirable result. It's simply stupid! It will never make a good sharp line. I can say that being 20 years in the building business. Verdict: it's been packed back and wait to be given away for free to some other tradesmen or enthusiast painter to try it out. Not for me. I have ordered Germany made clever thing which I found here on Amazon. Wonder what? I'll share my experience when I try it out.

buono

Leaking from pump handle. I had to disassemble it and found that the seal had been put in upside down. Not happy.

I am a girl and I cannot cut using a regular paintbrush. I saw this product and bought it immediately. I started with my kitchen. I cannot believe how amazingly this product works. I cut the whole kitchen in a matter of an hour. It made painting so easy! It is super easy to use and super easy to clean. I have since bought another one of theses and I have also bought the paint rolling one as well. I figured that if this product works as great as it is then the one for painting the walls must work just as well. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone who wants to save time on painting and also who wants to make is clean and easy to paint.

No good

I bought this last year for my old house. I had it painted for me but provided the tools to get the jobs done (painted many colors including a 20' cathedral area). My guy absolutely loved it. We were using Valspar with the primer already in it. My daughter's room was painted in shiny acrylic (never again with the acrylic paint!): purple, teal and a really blue blue. He used it around the walls and along the trim. I came up and saw the job and was quite pleased. I moved and wanted to get rid of the orange walls. I decided to do all of the edging and have my guy do the painting. I could not use it next to the ceiling because I have a bumpy plaster ceiling. We used 2 gallons of Home Depot paint + primer and had the majority of the job done in a little over 5 hours. It's not a perfect tool, but I have to say it cut down work by half, maybe even more, the time it took to paint this pretty larger room (wtih higher than normal ceilings again). Sometimes, yes, you can see the previous color right next to the trim. I had a small paint brush with me for that purpose. And if I made a mistake with the brush, I also had a damp washcloth with me. I didn't have any giant messes, but then, I didn't pump a lot of paint into the roller either. If I did (rare), I used a super soft touch. I also didn't have any problems with the pump. We used a brush to wipe off excess paint, just like we used a brush when pouring paint into the roller tray. I haven't yet changed the roller. Maybe that's a problem. For me, it's nearly worth it to go out and buy a new Smart Edge Roller, if I had to get a new roller. Because I loved this product <b>that</b> much. This is my first review (positive; I did complaint about a different product once). LJ
