Paint Runner as seen on sky
Has anyone bought a Paint Runner as I would like to know if they are really
worth the price (£29 or thereabouts) and more importantly, do they really work like they say they do? I saw one being demonstrated on the Sky shopping channel and it makes painting look a doddle but I am a bit wary. I previously bought a couple of gadget off Sky, turned out to be totally useless from my point of view plus, £30 lighter in the pocket too! I have a couple of rooms, and hall to do and I thought this might do the job in less time and make less mess Thanks in advance...from Jan who hates painting, and manages to put more paint on herself than the wall :-)))))))))) |

If it's the roller that you fill with paint then, IIRC, it's been discussed here before. Conclusion was, it's crap, ISTR. -- Rob |
