Has anyone tried the new Paint Pod?


Was thinking of buying it but would like to find out if it's any good
first.


I bought one after being basgered by my wife. It's a total waste of
money. i have just realised i have paid £70 for a dulux cutting in
brush, that's good. the pod actually took 3 cleaning processes and the
roller has still got paint within it. i feel it may be best to clean
roller under water and just run the cleaning process to clean tube,
nozzles etc. The rollining of paint is also a technique that probably
needs to be mastered as if you get too much paint the roller clogs and
you have to work it out and you can tend to get thick coates of paint
in places and as it is thick and quick drying *makes it unmanagable. I
will *be reverting back to my £1.99 rollers and dust sheets and resign
the pod to a very high shelf.


I agree with this post... also the paints are too thin. it takes about
4 to 5 coats, and even then it looks patchy.
I ended up finishing off with a paint pad. The cleaning system doesn't
work as it is portrayed to. You need to run it through at least 2-3
times. Then you find the system is full off water which then thins the
paint out even more the next time you use it.
have already contacted our supplier to try and get our money back.
