Knockdown tends to eat up paint pretty quick but I effectively covered all the surfaces in 2 coats (second coat being very quick and light, just to fill in the "holidays" as painters call them). This helped a lot on the fresh knockdown walls, because it can lay the paint on pretty thick without having to roll it in the pan every other stroke. People who say this thing pumps paint too fast, obviously left the thing running the whole time and are obviously idiots. Use 5 second bursts to recharge the roller with paint as it runs low. I did the vast majority of my work without a drop cloth (laminate and tile, no carpet). You need to work the paint into the roller and that will take a minute or two to get it saturated.but you have to keep rolling on the wall, even if you're not painting anything. This thing worked really well for my situation. Some walls had old paint over knockdown walls, some had new knockdown applied. I used this in a large "great" room, dining room, etc. It's not really worth it for that when you consider the money and time investment. Finally why can wagner not suppy a few spare duckbill seals with the new productīought this, as I'm remodeling a house and had a large area for a single color.įirst, don't buy this for a single bedroom paint job, where you have standard 8 foot ceilings and smooth walls. Finally any paint in tube can be forced back into container manually and cleaning is carried out the same as any paint roller it is critical that all paint is flushed out before storing as hard paint can damage seals. The roller need not be cleaned every day just exclude air with a plastic bag. the so called duck bill valve is made of rubber and closes after every fill to prevent backflow, careless usage when filling will distort the valve and cause leaks new valves are available at rediculous prices coming from usa to europe. The batteties (4/AA cells) last for days,about 20 litres. Like all paint rollers preperation to pre paint interface areas is required. I have used this type of roller for years This roller is very efficient at applying emulsion to walls and ceilings, the tube holds about one litre. it will not suck up emulsion paint immediately requiring several attempts to wet the inside of the paint tube, it is best if paint is sucked into the tube manually and then several attempts will get it working correctly Try on a plain wall to get the idea of how it works ,if too much paint is loaded using power button paint will drip off roller, as I said trial and error. This paint roller works perfectly, provided you understand how it works. I had no issues, no spillage, no paint falling or whatsoever when I used but noticed some reviewers said so. Knowing what I know after buying this, I would probably opt for normal roller, but it is a good item. To me, I would probably rather use normal roller and use more sheets to protect floor, rather than cleaning at the end if the day. Its cleaning is straight forward but time consuming and that's life you cannot get everything all the time. It really needs strength over time, so if a person needs to buy he or she should understand this point specifically if it's not one or two walls.ģ. My challange for ceiling is its heavy weight and it may need to have a bit longer arm to paint comfortable. It is heavy over time and was ok (for me) on walls, but for ceiling it's a challenge, I am not short and not very strong. It really keeps area clean and less messy.Ģ. This does what it says but consider below comments:ġ.
