The paint stick is a time saver. I bought one at Home Quarters years ago.
Sears stocks them now. a 12 x 12 ceiling takes about fifteen minutes.

A kid who works for me loves it. He wanted to give it a try on a very
large / simple room (~25 x 35')


It's rather messy to clean up but with latex paint it's not too bad.
You can really lay down the paint because of all the time you save not
having to "recharge" the roller. We don't paint large areas very
often. How much paint do you envision using?

For a few 100 ft^2 I'd stick with a regular roller.

I helped my son do his garage interior (primed & painted bare drywall)
& didn't use it. It would have been perfect application for it.

While the paint sticks are often faster, the cleanup time makes up for the
differance. If you had to do lots of large areas you may come out ahead
timewise.

I used one to great effect UNTIL the head popped off the stick and about
a pint of paint spewed all over my kitchen counters. The grout didn't
like that too much.
