Cons: Clean-up takes some time
Summary: “Rudi Xeno! Do you think you’ll ever get around to painting the hallways?” cooed the adorable Veronica. “I’ve been pleading with you for weeks now, haven’t I?” (Truthfully, this last sound bite ...

Pros: cuts down on the time it takes to paint a wall or room
Cons: I really dont see any cons. you have to clean whatever you paint with.
Summary: I was extremely surprised at how easy painting with the paint stick had become. It makes any job that much more easier then before. I must admit that I have 3 paint sticks. If I have to paint with more then 1 color, having a stick for each color along ...

Pros: Time savings
Price
Coverage
Less spatters
Ease of filling
Cons: Cleaning of the roller cover, but same as roller and pan.
Summary: I wanted to buy the PaintMate with the battery power to feed the paint as I thought to lever handle would make my hand sore after using the product. Although available on line in many places I could not find one at local retailers so I settled for ...

Pros: Quick, minimal to no splatter
Cons: Rod too short for tall ceilings, requires more cleaning than a plain roller
Summary: We have the product without batteries and just used it to paint acoustic tiles on the ceiling - the 12" ones that are nailed up. I was concerned that the roller nap wouldn't do the job but it did. The work went very fast, there was next to no ...

Pros: paint rollers dont leave marks like brushes do.
Cons: Paint does not come out at an even spread, heavy, and hard to clean.
Summary: I bought the PaintMate Plus Roller to paint the inside of my shed. After doing about 20 minutes of work with the product, I used a regular paint roller instead. The Wagner PaintMate Plus Paint Roller Set is heavier than most rollers and much harder to ...

Pros: Excellent paint system for the average homeowner.
Cons: Roller attachment point to tube assembly not meant for high torque.
Summary: I have owned three Wagner Paint Mate systems over the last 8 years. I've painted most of the interior walls of three homes with this device. Here is the low-down:For less than $50, you buy a good way to paint walls and greatly reduce ...

Pros: Fast, easy, and mess free painting. Easy to disassemble to clean.
Cons: Some paint wasted in system when cleaning up.
Summary: I have to say I'm not a big fan of Wagner products in general. I saw this at a home center when I was purchasing paint for a major home painting project. I was very skeptical but for $25 someting inside of me said it looks like a decent idea, ...

Pros: Box is nice and easy to open. Vaseline included for squeaks and difficulties turning parts.
Cons: Distributes paint unevenly, too heavy and difficult to clean.
Summary: In the past I had used a PaintStick by HomeRight, but I loaned it out and it came back missing a part so I assumed this PaintMate was the same. Now I wish I hadn't wasted my money. The PaintMate is much heavier, uses paint very fast, leaks when you put ...

Pros: Extremely fast painting with very professional looking results.
Cons: Need room to use because it is LONG when full of paint.
Summary: I got a few quotes on repainting my basement and the lowest was $1000 not including paint! Well, the area is large with no high ceilings (obviously) but the thought of rolling these ways the traditional pan and roller way almost scared me enough to pay ...

Pros: Eliminates the need for a paint tray
Cons: A little long and awkward when completely filled - this is a minor quibble
Summary: We bought this tool sort of on a whim while shopping at Lowe's one day. Took a few months before we got around to using it. The price was so reasonable that I halfway expected the product to be another useless gimmick. Today, we unpacked it and used it ...

Pros: Great product. Makes painting twice as fast!
Cons: Hard to paint small in small spaces.
Summary: This tool is one of the few that not only met my expectations, but actually exceeded them. I'm doing a home renovation and was looking for anything that could help speed up the painting process. A co-worker recommended the paintmate and I'm glad I ...

Pros: Light weight. Easy to maneuver. Inexpensive. Doesn't need any electricity. Huge time saver.
Cons: In remote areas it may be hard to find replacement rollers, so buy extras.
Summary: I have been using the PaintMate for years. The one I have now is my third...not because of the others breaking, but because I have them in different locations. The present location is a house I'm building in the Cayman Islands. I was STUNNED to discover ...

Pros: You don't have to mess with pouring paint and paint trays. Spatter shield works fine.
Cons: Heavy equipment, difficult clean up, can't change out rollers, uneven paint distribution, rust.
Summary: I bought this product to paint a spare bedroom (10'X 8'). After applying a primer coat with the roller, I ended up painting the ceiling with a 4"x6" edging tool instead. It did such a nice job when I was cutting in around the corners and the trim, that ...

Pros: easy fill, easy clean, fast painting
Cons: Be careful pressing hard--tube has limited strength
Summary: A friend raved about this, so I tried it when I wanted to paint the entire floor of my basement. I hoped it would cut the time in half, but it did much better than that. I had to learn a couple of things: First, when you initially load it, you have to ...

Pros: None that I could find.
Cons: Does not work, is difficult to clean, waste's money.
Summary: My wife bought me a Wagner Paintmate Plus when we were repainting the entire inside of the house last summer. I was not enthused that she had spent the money on a Wagner product, since we had one bad experience with an electric sprayer years ago. ...
