Wagner Smart Edge Paint Roller, Great with Latex Paint Material

My best tool finish the work very quickly…

I use this for my base coat for window painting. Super fast and easy, clean up is not so much but they usually break after a dozen windows or more so no clean up necessary, Just get out a new one, lol Love this product and I suppose it would be good for house painting just make sure to use a drop cloth as the head leak sometimes.

Did my baseboards way faster and better than if I had been doing with a brush. Easy to load. Can control the amount of paint with the pump. No leaks.

I love these little rollers cause they hold paint and you don't have to keep wetting the roller, just squeeze the trigger and continue painting.

Makes trimming easier and faster.

The Smart Edger is great! Plain and simple. It's an excellent value. It's FAR less messy than anything else you've ever tried. It does exactly what you expect every edging tool you've already wasted your money on to do and the Wagner Smart Edger does it flawlessly. We do a lot of painting and edging has always been the ugly task no one wants to do. I've tried every edging system you can see in your local home hardware supply store and this little gem blows them all out of the water. I do have one complaint - Where can I buy replacement rollers for this excellent tool?

I just repainted my 2000 sq ft house interior and many rooms had several colors on the walls. I am not sure what happened to the few who gave this product a low rating maybe they were not using it correctly. The angle you adjust the trim brushes and the angle you run it against the ceiling and where you hold it on the long handle all affects the results. After a small learning curve I painted all the rooms around ceilings, window trim, base trim without any tape!! I did have to brush my corners but with all the cleanup and paint color changing I saved a amazing amount of time. The edging takes up all the time and this product knocked it out of the park. Cleaning time was not bad , we just live in a instant results world and forget the saved time on painting. Thanks Wagner

I painted my main floor ceiling one day then the walls the next day. I carried a damp rag with me for clean up but rarely had to use it. The edging capability is incredible, only need a brush where 3" roller won't fit. On the second day of use, I had to use a stiff bristle brush to revive the nap on the cover.

I recently purchased this for a rental paint job in hopes it would cut the trim time down significantly. The unit was easy to put together for loading and painting. It takes a little experimentation and practice to get the results intended, and the more time I spent with it the better results I got. I did have a functional problem with the unit after I had been used it awhile, and I will discuss that at the end of this review. The unit seems to do best on baseboards and made the work go significantly faster. It wasn't perfect, but the more I used it the better it did. It got very little paint on the baseboards, which if you wipe the shield regularly keeps that from happening. I would say it took only 2O% of the time on the baseboard wall than if I had manually cut it it. Cutting in around the door and window casings was fair to good, it took a little more time to get a sharp line of paint up against the vertical casings. I believe gravity has a lot to do with. When you're rolling horizontally the paint will flow south, toward the baseboard, and I noticed this even more on the ceiling when rolling the wall next to the ceiling. It took much much more effort to get the wall covered up next to the ceiling, again I think this is a gravity thing. I haven't had as much experience with rolling the ceilings yet but it does seem like that's going to be the biggest challenge. However the unit did start leaking on me and it was very frustrating because of the constant wiping. The leak occurred every time I had to depress the trigger to load the roller up with more paint. It got quite messy and wasted some paint. I assume a seal has gone bad and hopefully Wagner will correct this.

NOT a good item to buy as i try it and did it correct as seen in directions and did not work at ALL ! was a huge mess to clean up and will not get close to edge or work as laying flat on to the wall and the roller! just bad in my opinion
