Wagner 0530004 SMART Flow Paint Roller, 22 Oz Handle Capacity & 0530000B SMART Edge Paint Roller & 0155206K 155206 9inch-by-3/8-Inch Perforated Roller Cover

Definitely allows for faster painting. Device is heavy when filled and the length of the handle can be a problem in tight spaces. You need good upper body strength. If you have a good sized empty room it works very well. There is a learning curve so be patient. When you are done you need to break it all the way down to clean. The port that is used to load the paint is 3 pieces. If you don’t take it all the way apart the old paint will cause the port to leak. A long straw brush would be helpful to clean inside the head piece. The cleaning process is around 15 minutes for me. If those conditions are ok for you it is definitely worth it.

This works well.However it is not a really power roller. Good success after I figured out that slow is the way to go. This is more of a paint delivery system. It pumps a high volume of paint to the roller head. You then must stop the pump and roll out the delivered paint. It is very easy to control. The pump power button is at thumb position.I used it a lot on high (14') ceilings and walls, with good success.You can attach an extender wand and really move along with the long feed tube length. Keep a traditional roller set up nearby to spread and roll excess.ALSO ! ONE GALLON CANS can become bottom heave and tip over, so secure them in a padded bucket. I used a 5 gal. bucket and jammed newspaper all around.Cleaning up is time consuming but I have used Wagner airless systems and taking a few minutes to do it right pays off. Wagner makes good stuff just follow directions.If you have a big job and some patience. this is a good choice.

I wanted to love this item & in theory I do. It’s very easy to use, so that’s a positive. It’s meant to help you take less time rolling the roller in the pan to get more paint on it to roll out your walls. I honestly think it took more time & effort because the amount of paint it uses at once isn’t a lot. When you first start pushing paint through, it appears on your walls in dots from the roller & you have to keep pushing paint through so the roller is coated & you can get rid of the dots. The plastic “shield” to keep paint from getting on other things is also really poorly designed. Paint still shot onto other surfaces & then the shield scrapes all over the wall if you are too close trying to get into a corner. Overall, I’d use it again, but I don’t know that it was any more efficient or quick than just rolling the paint from a pan.

This definitely saves time once you have the unit up and going. I would say the time to paint a room was reduced by 50%-70%. However, I have a few observations that may be helpful:1) It’s not as easy to clean as indicated. You have to put the input hose into a bucket of soapy water and run, per instructions, about 10 minutes. That requires emptying the bucket at least once or twice. Further, the roller is a booger to clean with the holes that allow the paint to come through. I clean this while letting the unit run, and it always takes me much longer to clean the roller.2) you almost always use an extension handle while painting, so the on/off button on the roller itself is not super convenient. Don’t know how to fix that unless they had a remote on/off they could provide with future models. I just always use an extension rod, and I think most do.3) It is nearly impossible to get all the water out of the line after cleaning - so you will have some come through the hose prior to painting next time. You need to watch that and make sure it doesn’t get in your roller; then stop when paint looks to be coming out before putting the roller on.4) Due to the time to setup, takedown, and clean, this is most useful for a larger area. I once only painted a ceiling of one room with it. I spent 3x the time with setup, clean, and takedown as I did actually painting.5) It slings paint unlike any roller I’ve ever used - probably due to saturation of roller and coverage. I found that I need to cover everything in the room because small specs of paint will fly off the roller as you roll.6) However, it is a very even flow of paint resulting in a very uniform finish - better than I’ve ever achieved with a manual roller alone. For this reason, I still find it worthwhile to use despite the additional time necessary for setup and cleaning. Never have a problem with coverage or an even paint job.7) You are still using the standard nap roller that you choose to use - so you will still need to inspect the wall for small missed spots due to drywall imperfections etc like you normally would. I also find the rollers very hard to get perfectly clean, they likely cannot be reused easily. I have successfully reused only one roller.For the drawbacks I mentioned, I still gave four stars. The end result is very good quality - just need to manage job size and time accordingly.
