Amazon.com Product Description
The ultimate all-in-one roller and paint container, this smooth-operating paint roller reaches high and low to paint like the pros, and nearly as fast. No more trips back and forth to the paint tray; this roller system features an onboard paint tube that holds 22 ounces of paint, rolling out paint for up to 80 feet without refilling. Paint is supplied to the roller cover with the simple squeeze of the trigger. The internal-fed eliminates messy roller trays and paints in half the time. A telescoping handle reaches up to 8 feet for easy ceiling painting. It's also easy to fill, easy to use, and easy to clean. The roller connects and disconnects for easy assembly and disassembly, which means faster painting operations and longer breaks in between. --Brian D. Olson

Customer Reviews

Made quick work of an entire room. Better than expected!
I found this on sale in a retail store.

I had a major paint job to do, so I decided to give it a try.

I was painting an interior house room, with latex paint.

The item sucked up the paint into it's reservior without any problem.

The trigger handle feed paint smoothly.

No leaking of paint was experienced at any part of the unit during the painting job.

The paint fed well out of the roller without any problem.

Coverage was uniform.

Cleanup was fairly quick with the unit itself.

The head/roller took a bit longer to get totally cleaned.
(I wanted to make sure it was totally clean, as I needed the unit for a future painting job and went with a "better-safe-than-sorry" approach.
I did not know availability of the roller head as a separate item, nor what the pricing on it may be; so I rinsed the head several times).

In my case, I had a good experience with the item.

In any painting job, there are so many different
applications, variations, indoor vs outdoor, rough surface vs smooth, and other variables involved.
That could be why some users had problems, vs my experience of no real problems (other than the head requiring several rinsings).

I have to give it a thumbs up!

For the price and ease of use, I have done better with this item than with some lower end electric and/or battery powered spray painting units.

The paint shield did a good job. In my case it fared well.

DON'T BUY!!! Paint Mate = Paint All Over YOU
I like the idea of a syringe style paint roller, but the quality on the seals are so low that when you plunge the pain, it ends up seeping out of all the joints. Consequently, I am not covered with drops of Kilz primer and will probably spend more time cleaning up the floor than had I just used a traditional roller. I don't know about their power products but based on this one, I'd have a pretty tough time being convinced their quality is any better.

Pleasantly Suprised - Great
I hadn't used mine yet and when i read some reviews here I thought "great this thing does not work"

So its sunday...i wasted Saturday with a leaky faucet...and i want to watch football...I get up early..cutin the corners, floorboards and ceiling with a brush...wash up.. get the instructions and set up the paint master...so far so good..start painting..looks spotty..i think...great this is what they are talking about..then the roller gets saturated...and wahla..i finish the whole room)maybe 14 x 14 in about an hour...best painting experience of my life...no ladder...just refill the tube a few times...no leaks at all..and the long handle lets u reach everywhere.

Clean up not that bad...i just climbed in the big tub and took a batch with it..i cleaned it REALLY good cause i want it to last..coat all the rubber valves with vasoline...man...its 11 and i am watching football.

5 stars..do not hesitate on this thing. A great buy and invention.
