Paint Runner Pro by Renovator - No Prep, No Mess. Simply Pour and Paint to Transform Any Room In Just Minutes

After seeing other people's reviews, i decided to give this a shot. i was very skeptical. i have used it x3 times so far. Here are my notes with it.Preparing - first time going through, was okay. Followed instructions.It says no oil based paints FYI. I am not going to to oil based.Also it says for those who complained, it got stuck or was too heavy. It quoted in the manual if paint is too thick and not coming out, to use some water. I did x7 room ceilings with this. Not once did it get stuck with me. I have other rooms to do now (walls).Dripping - only once. when i filled up the 3rd time , with the angel it was sitting, you can see the paint starting to spew / sap out of the sponge roller near the bottom when sitting upright. i quickly moved this, and some paint got on the floor (easy clean up for me though). and it dripped once, which was kind of my fault to begin with, this is a small flaw, but honestly, not a huge complaint to me.Like i said, i got done x7 rooms with ceilings (almost the whole house here). x3 upstairs, x3 downstairs and a hallway. All within x2 hours. this was the edges, trimming and ceiling. I was VERY impressed with the trimming. Perfect corners. Started to get messy after 4-5th fill, but that was the way i set it down on the plastic and paint go on the one side ( i tend to be messy with paint).Cleaning.DO NOT USE PAINT THINNER. ONLY USE WATERI say this because the adhesive that the foam is on the brush in the corners WILL Come off when paint thinner is used. i have used some on the edger and was upset afterwards, but understood because it was a heavy duty a thinner.Heavy? eh - grow up and start doing some push ups, yes its a bit heavy after a little bit, but honestly, didnt bother me.Over all - def worth the cost. for how much i got done, what i used, and how much paint it saved me and time. I should have boiught this awhile ago.now i wonder if there are separate parts you can buy without buying the whole kit?

You put almost 4 cups of paint inside the roller. Beware ladies and those who don't have really strong arms! That is almost 8 pounds! Even though the infomercial shows someone painting a room in 20 minutes....you're not likely to pull that off easily! (Unless you've been lifting weights for a long time!). It does work pretty well. I have just started priming a wall in our basement...where it doesn't matter much how it goes...and I don't hate it,and it works. But for prolonged usage, you're likely to need a team, or be a very fit human! I've not tried all the gadgets yet. Do be careful when loading the tank, as well. At one point, the cap slipped off while in use....it could have been tragic on a lovely carpet...it didn't spill but it could have! Now that you've read my review...please read the 1 star reviews. I often avoid that because I think the folks are "shade throwers"...not in this case. I would revise mine but I think you're likely to see it and then scroll down to the really helpful ones!It says to click it tight. I never heard a click...so not sure about that one. PS: 10 minutes after I wrote this, the roller split in two. I ditched the whole mess. A DISASTER!

I have been doing DIY home projects for years. I have bought and sold many homes for a substantial profit. Nothing looks worse than a sloppy paint job! Our new home has carpet upstairs and I was absolutely dreading painting it. I don’t always have time to finish a room in a day week or even a month lol. The roller kept the paint perfectly sealed ( I would zip it sealed tight in a double ziplock back when done) and it did a fantastic job I was able to finish my bedroom in two days really taking my time it normally would of taken a month by the time I draped properly and redipped. Not a single drop on the floor. My only tip is you do need to drape the floor where you poor it into the roller and immediately start painting the wall nearest!!! The paint starts seeping out quickly you won’t make it across the room until you start rolling a bit out onto the walk in front of the draped area. That one area was painted a few times but no big deal I only had to reload I think 3 times and I had to do a double coat on a very large room. I have bought another already for a friend. Won’t paint without it!

I had an open mind when purchasing this. I read reviews, saw some favorable and some not but thought I would give it a try. The one thing I will say about the roller is that it almost never dripped. This was a huge plus for me because it spared me from spreading out drop cloths. I use a long piece of cardboard against the baseboard as it is but it was a bit neater than other rollers. Notice I said "almost never" dripped. In between breaks I would empty the paint from the roller back into the can. I wrapped it in plastic and kept it in the fridge. When I went to fill it again, the remaining paint settled through the roller sponge and two things happened: 1) It put a really large glob of paint on the wall, which did then drip. 2) it prevented the roller from rolling. If I was quick, I could keep the paint from getting everywhere and eventually it began to roll. So as far as the mechanics of the roller, it's okay. The quality of coverage was not good. I have painted a lot of walls in my life and never have I had to do three complete coats. It's spotty and sparse and was not time efficient. Three coats look nice but it created an entire extra day of painting. When full, the roller can be heavy. The corner tool didn't work. It seems like this would be a really user friendly tool but I found it to leave uneven coverage and resorted to a sponge brush. The edger started off as a great tool and was really convenient to start with but it would scrape if not held at the most precise angle. Again the coverage was fair, at best. I ended up having to go over the areas I painted with a sponge brush to ensure thorough coverage. It wasn't worth the extra time needed and wasn't worth what I paid for it.
