 Complete waste of time and money September 12, 2008

This product is a complete waste of both time and money. I purchased one in order to decorate my very large hallway which has an extremely high ceiling.
This is not the first time I have decorated this area so I knew it was a big job and hard work. Having seen so many ads for the Paint Runner that stated how easy it was to use, how little mess it made etc etc I decided to give it a try, after all anything that makes life easier is a good thing.
It took more than ten minutes just to get the paint flowing through the foam roller before I could start trying to paint with it, and that was just using an ordinary emulsion paint, when I finally got it going I set off to start work on my hallway. The Paint Runner doesn't work well when used on ceilings, that was the first problem, it simply did not cover the old paint at all, so I thought I would give the walls a try, but this was no better so after struggling with this 'revolutionary' product for more than an hour I simply gave up.
It is also hard to clean and uses literally gallons of water, so if you are on a water meter watch out! In the end it was simply too much trouble to use and clean so I did the best thing I had done all day with it, I packed it up in a bin liner and headed for the waste bin.

saw the advert, had just built a massive extension - thought this would save time - oh how wrong. The only way to get it to work is to really thin down the paint, the unit itself is quite heavy while your using it so my wife wasnt amused.
Gave it up as a bad job should have sent it back but dont think it was a fault as such just a naff product.

 Paint Runner. September 2, 2008

First, considering that Dulux have brought out an automatic paint feed roller the original Paint Runner is expensive for what it is. From my experience, using a good quality paint, I found that I had to use the roller on a sheet of newspaper for 3 minutes before the paint came through. I also, found that even though the roller did not drip it did produce tiny pinhead droplets of paint which would ruin draylon material. I would highly recommend covering carpets and furniture. The additional edging tool is useless and the postage, if not free, is rediculous. In my opinion, it is good but it still needs loads of cleaning when the job is done. Maybe my paint was too good for it?

More mess than using a pad, after trying to use it found the top snaps, I found it was easier to use a pad.
you have to water the paint down, pole is flimsey.
