Purdy WhiteDove, 9 in. x 3/8 in., 3 count

We bought the Purdy White Dove 2 pack of rollers in 3/8" nap to do some painting in our home. We must say that these are the best rollers we have ever purchased! They definitely are lint free and leave no roller marks! Just want to say thanks for making such a great product! Best part is they are made in the USA!

good product easy to use

It performed like the majority of all Purdy products: a champ. I used a high grade, self priming eggshell finish over a new orange peel texture . Two coats with the White Dove 3/8" nap and it looked like glass. Thanks for the great roller cover Purdy.

I have always had a great experience using Purdy roller covers. They are low drip and roll on smoothly and efficiently. I've tried other rollers and they always fall short. Purdy roller products are outstanding and have excellent value. Perfect ever time I use them. I know I can always count on them for a terrific finish!

I've been painting professionally for over 30 years and the last few years I've gone back and forth with this product. When you get a good one, it can't be beat! However some roller covers seem to have a flat spot which rolls similar to a tire that is not round. Forget rolling a straight line along trim because it rolls side-to-side. Very frustrating when you're particular about your work.

I've been painting for over 50 years, and never seen a roller do this before. I'm painting a ceiling flat white over flat white, paint is a premium bear paint, I'm getting hit and miss spots, after 2 coats I still have to go over certain areas again. I tried 1/2 inch and 3/8th nap. Never again will I use your rollers again. I love your brushes but not your rollers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased a "Professional 4-Pack" of White Dove 3/8" nap 9" roller covers from a local retailer - UPC code 7 16341 40444 4 - for use in current projects using flat latex paint on walls and ceilings. These 3/8" x 9" White Dove roller covers are quite possibly the worst roller covers I've ever used. I tried using one of them for applying a flat latex paint to two semi-smooth 5'x6' ceilings. Sure, it loaded up with paint, but that's about as far as it got. Once loaded up, it was difficult to roll - it more or less just pushed the paint along the ceilings instead of rolling along the surface. It was more like trying to apply paint with an actual dove soaked in paint. And it didn't stop there. I washed the cover off immediately after use (following Purdy's own instructions - which are just pretty much common sense) and left it standing upright in a utility sink to dry out - hoping to use it the next day. The following morning I found a damp, soggy, matted mess that looked and felt more like a 1" nap wool roller. It took another full two days to dry out to be useable. I returned the package to the retailer and purchased a 3-pack of Purdy Marathon covers which I've been using since.

I used packaging tape to prep/remove loose lint routinely from my rollers. After 10 pieces of lo td up tape I gave up . I am SO glad these were returned before the lint ended up all over my hard work. Here is the LAST piece of tape

I bought 2 of these rollers (18") with 3/8 nap for putting sealer on my driveway. Even though they were durable and lint free, it seemed that they had flat spots on two sides. Initially thought it was my driveway but on the second coat the second roller was worse. Both were like using a square roller. Wasn't able to finish second coat it was so out of round. DONT BUY

I always use Purdy paint brushes because I think they're superior, so I didn't hesitate when I recently had to purchase rollers. I chose Purdy White Dove Professional 3 Pack. After painting a couple of minutes I changed rollers. The Purdy did not leave a nice finish, it was uneven and didn't feel right while I was using it. Really sorry I'm stuck with the other two.BTW: The paint? Behr Premium Plus Ultra.
