Popcorn Ceiling Scraper Vacuum Attachment Tool - Shop Vacuum Attachment for Removal and Repair of Acoustic Texture Ceiling - Remover of Ceiling Texture Without Bag or Mess

This is an absolutely fantastic product. Before this product had been released, I had removed the entire first floor’s popcorn from my house with a water sprayer and a metal scraper. It was a nightmare to say the least. Even with a “Dexter like” plastic sheeting setup beneath, the mess was unimaginable. Additionally, I needed to maneuver a ladder to stand on which just adds to the time it takes to finish a room; my arms are only so long.After that experience, I had been procrastinating on the 2nd floor of the home for months. By the grace of God, I talked with the creator of the Popeeze product on a message forum while it was still in its prototype stage. He told me to keep my eyes peeled on Amazon for the release and sale of the product. It finally gave some encouragement to finish the rest of my project.I’m happy to say that I’m now done with popcorn ceilings for good and I wish Popeeze could have hit the market a year earlier so I could’ve avoided so much wasted time, anguish, and mess. I estimate that using Popeeze compared to a hand-held scraper saved me an estimated 4Xs as much time in the actual scraping process and clean up. On top of that, I undoubtedly had half the amount of sanding to do because of its precision. I only created two gouges in the drywall and that was because I had trouble determining the best angle the first time I tried using it.A bit of advice:1. Use a dust bags in your shop vac. Otherwise, the wet material will dry in places you don’t want it to dry. You’ll go through a few bags, but believe me it’s worth it.2. Start by holding Popeeze as close to horizontally as possible to the ceiling with minimal pressure. Then, slowly increase the angle toward 45 degrees maintaining slight pressure pushing forward. In other words, your front hand on the pole stays put and applies pressure while your back hand slowly drops down toward the floor. At its optimal angle, it will start to glide and remove the popcorn effortlessly (provided you have a sufficient amount of water soaked in). I did this every time I placed it against the ceiling; if you start with an angle that’s too extreme, it will likely dig straight into the drywall.Bottom line: it’s worth every penny.*** Popcorn dries quickly after spraying with water - after about 5 mins or so you’ll start to notice and scraping can be more difficult. Making sure the section you’re scraping has enough saturation is a key component. Angle is important, but w/o enough water it won’t matter. Even if you’re not using Popeeze, this becomes apparent after some experience with this DIY project. I learned it the hard way with a hand scraper before Popeeze hit the market.With most lower rated reviews you read, they likely hadn’t ever experienced the nuances of the project and made some errors which either damaged the product or their ceiling in the process. I did plenty of damage to my first floor with the hand scraper before I got the hang of things.

Clumbsy to use. Hard to work overhead. AND it is a flimsy piece of plastic junk. You have to get the popcorn ceiling so wet in order for this flimsy piece of plastic to be able to remove the acoustic that you damage the drywall that you're trying to preserve. Once you get the angle where the plastic blade "may" actually work somewhat, the plastic blade bends and digs into the drywall causing difficult to repair damage to the drywall. Once you get the hang of it, which does not take long, the plastic coupler on the extension handle breaks as this tool cannot handle the weight of the shop vac hose and the light pressure needed to scrape the ceiling. You can use the tool without the extension pole, but it is a poor tool compared to a 14" drywall taping knife that will give you much more control over your scraping so you don't damage the drywall under the popcorn. A high quality metal taping knife costs less and will take you less time even including the time it takes to lay out a drop cloth to facilitate clean up.My recommendation: Pass on this made in China "child's toy" being sold as an adult tool. The only thing that worked with this piece of junk was my 6 HP Shop Vac. But the tool kept folding and plently of waste hit the ground, so it was easier to just throw this piece of junk in the garbage and scrape the ceiling(s) like the pros show you how on Y-tube videos. And notice how not one pro uses this piece of junk.I did not get to my project until the 32nd day, so I could not return this piece of junk. Save yourself the time and frustration and pass on this PIECE OF JUNK.

I bought a house with what seems like miles and miles of dreaded popcorn ceiling. Everyone knows removing popcorn ceiling is arduous and messy. After putting it off and whining to my better half my assigned NSA agent must have overheard me and said I got you fam. In an instant, almost as if it had been sent by divine intervention a Facebook add popped up for this tool (thank you NSA guy). That fella from the government must have gone through the same thing and said you know what, this guy works hard for his family like I do, I got you. I'll admit at first I was skeptical, it seemed a little too much "as seen on tv" like and plus I'm from North Carolina so I should have a natural born distrust for the government. But my NSA agent was really watching out for me. This tool makes popcorn ceiling pop right off and into the shop vac with very little mess and in a fast efficient manner. It makes it so fun I almost want to reapply it and do it again! the only downfall is I think you have to order new blades off a different site. So trust your Facebook add and get addicted to popcorn ceiling scraping!update: unfortunately had to bump ole gal down to 4 stars, much like a few girlfriends I've had I judged her a little too quickly. the blades dont last long, nowhere near the 500sq ft advertised. Perhaps this popcorn ceiling is built from an era where things were meant to last and the company just never could forsee it.

It's hard to get a good angle using it on a pole, and doesn't work very well around the edges. It actually kind of messed up my ceiling trying to use it on the edges (first picture.) I think it'd be better if the blades were metal rather than plastic, and maybe angled a bit. It did really well in the middle of the ceiling and I got a good long scrape. I think I'll use it to get the middle of the rooms and then touch up whatever it misses with a hand scraper.It handles the mess VERY well. I scraped a different part of the ceiling without it and there was dust EVERYWHERE, but with this there's just a couple of stray pieces (second picture.) Nothing that can't be easily vacuumed up.Overall this is great for big areas and really takes care of the mess, but don't expect it to do the entire job for you.

Minimal mess, I will the blade was made out of metal… the plastic still worked great for my ceiling. Use it and play with the angle to ensure you are getting the right momentum.

This does not work as advertised, it would not go smoothly on the ceiling to remove the popcorn, a scrapper is the best thing to use. I should have returned it.1 star only because I had to.

the device actually works fairly good but still drops a lot of material on the floor, the scraper blade and the housing do not fit tightly together so material falls through the gap between the 2 parts and falls on the floor. Blade was worn out before finishing 1 bedroom even though we soaked the ceiling constantly to the point that water was dripping on the floor. Tool still beats using a scraper for sure but not as good as it looks in the video. I riveted a hack saw blade to the pop ease one and that worked pretty good. Used the back of the hacksaw blade as the leading edge though so it would not be too aggressive.

Very cheap and did not work as well as it shows in the videos. Was expected unfortunately

Popcorn ceiling removal was quick and easy. I used small hose .kept plugging. Use bigger hose on the vacuum
