Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had an open mind when purchasing this. I read reviews, saw some favorable and some not but thought I would give it a try. The one thing I will say about the roller is that it almost never dripped. This was a huge plus for me because it spared me from spreading out drop cloths. I use a long piece of cardboard against the baseboard as it is but it was a bit neater than other rollers. Notice I said "almost never" dripped. In between breaks I would empty the paint from the roller back into the can. I wrapped it in plastic and kept it in the fridge. When I went to fill it again, the remaining paint settled through the roller sponge and two things happened: 1) It put a really large glob of paint on the wall, which did then drip. 2) it prevented the roller from rolling. If I was quick, I could keep the paint from getting everywhere and eventually it began to roll. So as far as the mechanics of the roller, it's okay. The quality of coverage was not good. I have painted a lot of walls in my life and never have I had to do three complete coats. It's spotty and sparse and was not time efficient. Three coats look nice but it created an entire extra day of painting. When full, the roller can be heavy. The corner tool didn't work. It seems like this would be a really user friendly tool but I found it to leave uneven coverage and resorted to a sponge brush. The edger started off as a great tool and was really convenient to start with but it would scrape if not held at the most precise angle. Again the coverage was fair, at best. I ended up having to go over the areas I painted with a sponge brush to ensure thorough coverage. It wasn't worth the extra time needed and wasn't worth what I paid for it.
