I wont paint without it.
I bought this about 2 months ago because I planed on painting the interior of my house. I have since painted every room accept my kitchen & ceilings going through about 8-9 gallons of paint. This makes painting so much faster. At first I painted one room at a time but I found that it takes longer to clean it (20 min) than it takes to paint a whole room. I only used 5 gal buckets but it works with 1 gal cans as well. I used an extension pole allot so I didn't have to use a ladder with my vaulted ceilings.
This product has held up extremely well. No issues or signs of any failure. Unlike several other reviews I have not experienced any leaks. I also had friends help paint and it didn't break. (They were not as gentile with it as I was)
Things I found to make it work better.
Have multiple rooms ready to paint and do them all at once (Limit the cleanings)
Take the cleaning instructions one step further, Don't recirculate the soapy water just let it pump from one clean bucket to a discard bucket.
Before storing the unit hang it from the top of a latter and pump all the water out of the hose (It wont pump all the water out of the hose if its just coiled up on the ground)
Don't let it sit with paint in it for more than about 30 min
I highly recommend this. It is amazing. I will never use another roller again !
