I can roll a room faster with a good quality lambs wool roller cover on a

attachment paint the room and clean up the roller attachment good enough to
use again.

The roller attachment is also limited by its length/reach where as good
quality extension handle is adjustable.

I had a similar roller attachment years ago when I first started painting.
An old timer hired me to help him on a painting job. He was faster with his
hand rolling than I was with my roller attachment. I never used it again.

Has anyone used the xr7 in the roller mode? I saw the roller the other
day at HD for $70, and it sure would make painting easier when one cannot
spray. Like I'm considering painting the ceilings white in the addition I
just painted all the same color .......

How old was this old timer? I know he did not teach you everything on
one job.

OP save the $70.00 on a one room paint job.

Would I buy this roller - yes, but for the frequent use of it.

Not for a room or two!
