Not Perfect, But Definitely Saved Time
I liked the product, and, while some touch up was still required, it made painting around ceilings, windows, and door trim much faster than doing this exacting work with a brush and tape. A few tips: 1) The video indicates that trim around the floor should be taped. I tried doing a little bit without tape (fortunately in a closet) and found that the recommendation should be followed. 2) Watch the video carefully. Keeping the Accubrush tight against both the wall and ceiling and applying pressure to the front of the handle as recommended make for the best results. Also, do a little at a time so you can keep the roller saturated with paint. 3) When painting the trim and ceiling, make an effort to get as little paint on the wall to be painted with the Accubrush as possible. If the trim or ceiling paint has any sheen to the finish, tack up any overpaint on the walls with a little sandpaper before using the edger to get the best results. 4) The product works best when ceiling and trim provide a smooth, flat surface for the shield to ride against. My old (1937) house had plenty of little irregularities in both that caused the need for touch-ups. Overall, I would buy the product again and believe it save considerable time and gave a very acceptable result.
