Wagner power roller

[JenTra]

Hi, anybody out there have any pro's or con's about the Wagner power rollers. I need to paint a large area, (20 gal.) including textured ceilings. I have been looking at the 990. Thanks for your help.

We have the Wagner that attaches to a one gallon can and I liked using it for all the walls. I did not like using on the ceiling though, as the pole was too short and it was just a pain to use.

Clean up took some time, but if you don't choose a lot of different colors (like we did) it should not be too bad.

My experience is that it works exactly as advertised.

I have the one gallon unit fed by a couple of D batteries.

Works well, but still gets HEAVY after a while. You will be tired. Having someone cut in and spot your MISSES using a good light is worth while since you are moving relatively fast.

About 5 minute learning curve - too much paint and roller slides + too little and you have gaps in rolling.

CLEANUP is a bit of a pain and is only doable with WATER paints. Takes a LOT of water and about 20 mins. or more to clean.

Still worth it.

Best painting purchase I've made. Buy it. Saves enormous amounts of time even with the clean-up process at the end. Using the edging attachments also helps save time.

The Power-Painter on the other hand was a disappointment.
