This is the second Wagner smart roller I have purchased. The first one leaks and leaks and thus useless. I thought I would give it another try and try this baby one - maybe it's better built or easier to handle - nope! Same thing. Leaks from every joint! I have tried both multiple times - thinking maybe its me. My husband, who is very good with tools - a mechanic and technician and he got the same result - leak, leak, leak. I read all the lovely reviews and watched the youtube videos that say it is so easy and so fast and so "neat". That is BS. I really do not see how that is possible at all. So I have wasted money twice. And it wasted a lot of paint. made a huge mess. Sometimes manual is just so much better. What a rip-off. I trusted the brand. I will not trust this brand ever again.

If you value your time and appreciate good tools do not purchase this. I had high hopes this would make edge-painting/cutting in easier and faster, but it was a massive failure.Essentially, this tool has a paint reservoir tube to which you attach a small roller that has a plastic disk on one side with small brushes that are supposed to get the paint right up against the trim/edge. The roller covers the area adjacent to the edge to be painted, and because the texture of the roller is like the roller you are using to paint with, you don't get a texture mismatch in the paint. That is the working theory of the tool.Here is the reality. You load reservoir by exchanging the roller assembly for a nozzle, dipping it in the paint and pulling a rod at the end of the reservoir that sucks the paint into it. That works fine, but the nozzle will drip after you remove it so you need to hold it over your paint until it drains. You might even need to rinse it out if you are only expecting to use just the paint you just loaded up.You then attach the roller assembly and use the trigger on it to suck paint out of the reservoir and into the perforated roller to initially load it. The fun started immediately when the trigger started leaking paint after a few pulls. Cleaned that up, followed the instructions to paint a W on the wall surface with the roller and run the little brushes through the paint to load them. That did not work too well, because the brushes barely picked up the paint. I also noticed that on my tool the brushes were not attached parallel to each other on the disk. Anway, try as I might, barely any paint transferred from the brushes to the surface I was painting.At that point I gave up on this tool. The icing on the cake was when I went to clean it. What..a...pain. They have an attachment to use with a garden hose to clean the roller assembly, but I live in the northeast and my garden hose was put away in November. Then, you are supposed to lubricate the seals when you store it, using Vaseline.If the tool had done what was advertised and actually painted along the trim, I'd have given it two stars. This thing simply does not work. I switched back to using my Shur-Line paint edger and a brush. The Shur-Line has its own problems and is not perfect - you have to know how to use it to get the best results without getting paint on the trim, but it does save time. It's also much easier to clean than this useless Wagner tool.I have other Wagner products that work fine, but this is a real disappointment. Do not buy this. It's poorly made and does not do the job it was intended for.

It is slow on the uptake of paint so it takes a little bit to get going. Then for a while it works great but after a bit it starts to leak and get messy. I wear latex gloves so it wasn't a big deal. It only dripped on the floor one time, but it slowed me down as I kept checking for drips. Washing it was a little time consuming. Overall it saved me time but I would only use it for bigger jobs. The effort to start and clean up wouldn't be worth it for a small task. I was doing a small room but it wasn't a square room so I had a lot of corners. This did save me time. I'll be doing a hallway with a foyer which I'll use it again. It was good not great.

I want to love this product, but it didn't get close to the edge for me. I tried running it through paint already on the wall to get paint into the brushes, but I still seemed to lack 1/4" of paint at the edges. I'm going to have to go back with a brush and get that edge.It sucked up the paint really well, much easier than our Home Right EZ twist paint stick. The hand trigger worked great for feeding the paint into the roller and was easy to do as I went around the room. The trigger got in the way when I wanted to change directions, so I had to stop, loosen the top, flip everything around and retighten. It was much less time consuming than using a brush and a can though--if it would have gotten to the edge.Clean up wasn't bad, once my husband showed me how to get it apart. It took about 10 minutes to clean up. The instructions on how to clean up were worthless, if I had just done that I would have dried paint in the tubes gumming up the works for next time. We took it all apart, including taking the roller off and made sure it was spotless.I'm going to try again this time with gray paint on walls. We used it around the top of the ceiling before with white paint over white primer, so it was hard to see what was happening until it dried. If I can get it to work I'll come back and change my review.

Leaking from pump handle. I had to disassemble it and found that the seal had been put in upside down.Not happy.

I am a girl and I cannot cut using a regular paintbrush. I saw this product and bought it immediately. I started with my kitchen. I cannot believe how amazingly this product works. I cut the whole kitchen in a matter of an hour. It made painting so easy! It is super easy to use and super easy to clean. I have since bought another one of theses and I have also bought the paint rolling one as well. I figured that if this product works as great as it is then the one for painting the walls must work just as well. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone who wants to save time on painting and also who wants to make is clean and easy to paint.

Excelente para desorillar limites de cantos,entre puertas y techo con paredes, se ahorra mucho tiempo con el cartucho cargado de pintura y asà se evita de estar mojando la brocha.

Love it. Works well if you read instructions and double check YouTube etc. Quite easy to use with the wall protector. Painted a kitchen ceiling edge (including round an extractor fan) very quickly, no taping off at all.It doesn't reach right into corners leaving about an inch square which needs touching up with a brush (which I screwed up!). So maybe lesson learnt is to tape and brush the corner first and then do the edges.Rest of ceiling with a normal roller but still used this small one near the spotlights as easier control.
