It is remarkably effective. Note that you spin it once to get "most"
of the paint off, rinse in brush cleaner, and spin again to get it
practically all off.


Don't lend it to people (or at least people you want to stay friends
with) without the very simple instruction leaflet which says "put it
into a box when spinning the brush to catch all the paint which flies
off". I lent mine to my Dutch friend (having demonstrated how to use
it) and he cleaned his brush (white gloss paint) without this minor
item, and holding it horizontal.

I thought all was not well when his wife wafted lots of Dutch words
said with certain enthusiasm over the fence. The white stripe of
paint spray from floor to roof is still visible. It also cost him a
fortune because the rotary washing line was the other side of the
circle of paint and it had a dress needed for a dinner than night.
