Paint Zoom
I contemplated purchasing the Paint Zoom for some time. I'm a brush and roller type of guy. I use a Craftsman Power Painter. I read numerous Paint Zoom reviews and decided to go ahead and try it. Let me tell you right off, don't waste your money or time. It doesn't work period. I believe the company writes most of the reviews. I opened up the package today 3/24/2012 and watched the DVD provided, read through the instructions all which was easy enough. I was painting a bedroom so I taped off the windows and all. That was a pain in itself but nonetheless I was wanting it to perform as advertised. I was using a good quality latex and the instructions said the viscosity should be such that the cup would empty in 50 secs. In 2 Quarts I had to use 4 1/2 viscosity cups of water to thin the paint to empty in 48.7 secs. I tried the Paint Zoom and it spattered, not even at all. I adjusted the flow needle in and out a little at a time. It still gave a really crappy finish. Either the one I have is defective which I strongly doubt or it flat doesn't work as the advertisement show. Plus it's pretty noisy. Made in China, it's really a piece of CRAP! I'm not wasting any more time. Brush and roller. Hell, the time I've wasted, I could have been done by now. I spent over an hour just getting the viscosity right.
