Anyone used one of these yet?
Looks like a brilliant piece of kit, or is this just an expensive gimmick.

Im going to be re-decorating a 3 bedroom house soon and I love the idea of not having to clean the roller at the end of every night.

What are your opinions on this?

Not used one and dont think I ever will. The only benefit I can see is you dont have stop to load the roller.. WOW!! But you still need to stop and cut in.. erm where does it show that ?? lol. I reckon I could have rolled an finished off a room before the pod is loaded and plugged in..
Plus the paint would have to be supplied in them special(pricey) containers.. Verrrry diy and thumbs down from me .

If something looks too good to be true, then it usually is!!!!

Are these really that bad?

Pile of s**t..

For a pro like Zampa, Yes. But I did a room for my Sis in Law who bought a pod... T`was ok and I found the triangular brush very good .....The one from Dulux, in the kit for cutting in

I have to admit those triangular brushes were surprisingly good

I have one of these and i think they are really good no mess at all and hands stay clean no paint splater any where and i do beleive it is quicker to paint the room with one of these.
But the main thing i noticed is that for some reson you never seem to run out of paint i painted a room 6m by 3m with two coats and still have i think enough to give it another 2-3 coats easily??? and the paint job looks very impressive even if i do say so myself and the self clean system is also very effective.
The down side is that not a lot off colour variety yet but asked at b&q and they reckon new colours will be out shortly.
