Wagner Spraytech 2419329 PaintStick EZ Roller Paint Roller, Long Handle Extension Roller for Painting Interior Walls and Ceilings

I have to say this actually works. I was skeptical going in but it does make painting faster and without an unwieldy pole having to be dipped in a tray continually. Other reviews note it’s hard to clean. I’d say takes a while but not so hard. More on that in a minute.I couldn’t understand how it used more paint , as many note. I still don’t understand but it does go through more paint for a same size surface.I never had any clogging issues with the device. It works flawlessly.Cleaning: the instructions were confusing and I think one part actually written incorrectly. What I do is run the paint out back into the bucket as specified. Then I mix my dawn and water in a 5 gallon bucket. I get another bucket to run into. I take the cover off and wash it in the sink as I would would any other roller. The use the machine to run the solution from one bucket to the other. Then clear water. It takes a while but not active time for me other than washing the roller cover.My friends told me not to get it, that it didn’t work. I feel there must have been a glitchy earlier generation because this item does what it promises.

The media could not be loaded. https://amzn.to/4nQjXs3I’ve done my fair share of painting, and I can honestly say the Wagner SIDEKICK Powered Roller is one of the best tools I’ve ever used. It completely took the hassle out of the job — no more bending down every two minutes to reload the roller or dripping paint all over the floor. The continuous feed system works beautifully and keeps a smooth, even coat going the whole time.It cut my painting time in half and left a professional-looking finish with minimal effort. Cleanup was surprisingly simple, and the motor is quieter than I expected. If you’re tackling a big room or even a whole house, this is 100% worth the investment. I’ll never paint the old way again.Highly recommend for anyone serious about DIY or looking to save time and frustration.

It is impossible to clean! Not reusable as listed. I tried and tried and tried and eventually threw mine away. It saved maybe a small bit of time while in use but it’s too big and bulky and I often had to switch to a roller that was lighter and had a smaller handle to maneuver around the room. Not worth. I just wasted $35.

This paint roller did make my project go a little faster, but I’m not convinced it’s worth the money. Here’s why:- the suction tube is sized for one gallon paint cans, so if you have a large area to cover and bought a 5-gallon bucket, you will have to transfer paint to a smaller container after the paint level decreases- it puts more paint onto the wall than you would probably use with a roller & tray, especially as you first get the hang of how much paint to dispense- paint dispenses in along strip of holes in the roller, so it can come out unevenly & may cause drips- it’s heavy so if painting is being done above shoulder level then more frequent breaks may be necessary- in order to draw paint into the handle you have to simultaneously push down and pull away from the roller, which can be an awkward & difficult movementThe positives:- some time savings- clean up is easy- inexpensive- if wrapped tightly over both the roller and intake port it can be set aside overnight and used without problems the next day. Some paint may leak out but when stored roller end down nothing dried out when I had to take an overnight break on my project

This thing is a game changer.I was excited to get a sprayer but quickly realized spraying in a house is rarely an option.So i got this roller. I get almost no drips. Like maybe 3-4 little drips 1/3 of the size of a dime if i paint an entire room! I mean thats hard to beat.And one fill of the tube will paint the majority of 15 foot of wall give or take a foot or 2.And it works flawlessly. And the special roller covers you buy for this are cheap. Like $4 each here on Amazon.No downside to this little baby. I think it is pretty straight forward to clean it afterwards. And breaks down a little if you are packing it away in a truck or car.People that give a negative review are doing something wrong or using too thin a paint or something.You do have to clean it well after every use and put Vaseline on the 2 or 3 rubber parts so they dont dry and crack. But if you do that you will paint like a pro.The only thing is you will go thru some paint. Rollers in general suck up a lot of paint and this soaks up that much more. So if you have 1 gallon and hope to paint 1 wall then you might just opt for a regular roller. But if you have 2 to 5 gallons and are painting an entire room it is an absolute necessity

I bought the specifically so my son and I could prime and paint the two car garage. This unit is incredibly easy to use and operate and not having to dip the roller in the tray really helps you paint quickly. Cleanup is relatively easy as well. The machine worked perfectly well.I’ll definitely be using it again when we start to paint some of the other rooms in the house

Overall, not a bad purchase, however I don’t expect it to last very long. The pump motor is not very strong so it delivers paint primarily to the far end of the roller. Kind of like dipping half your roller in a can of paint. Although it does get paint on the wall. You just have to roll it out a bit.I suspect the bigger problem will lie in the inability to completely clean it. The only cleaning process is to put the dip tube in water or cleaner solution and pump it through the system. With the pump being so weak, water simply dribbles through the hose and out the roller tube holes. It never really gets all the paint out. I let it run for over 30 minutes and the water coming out was still smokey white from the paint. If it can’t be cleaned completely, at some point things will just stop working.Having said all that, the price is about the same as a gallon of good paint so just add it to the project cost and throw it away if it gives up the ghost. Overall it works pretty well and does make things faster not going back to the pan for paint.
