As soon as we finish fixing up the old damaged drywall with gardz etc. (blech), it'll be time for us to paint.

Has anyone tried to use the Ready Roller (as seen on tv)? Just want some advice before we buy it and try it. It's a roller that you can pour paint into the center of. Its site is here:

Does anyone foresee problems with this gadget?

looks like it would take forever to paint a wall a cup at a time, with a roller that appears to be 4 inches wide. $19.00??? I don't think so.

Spend the $20 on a high quality roller sleeve and a good extension. You'll be glad you did.

And buy your paint from a paint store, not a big box.

The new-fangled roller contraptions are more headache and hassle than they are worth.

I'd put myself or any of my painters, even the apprentices, up against one with our screen/bucket combos anyday.
