"Paintstick works - but clean-up takes 25 minutes"

Most Helpful Review:

If you're painting more than one room with the same color, then get the paintstick. It really works. I was able to paint one coat in a 12x15 living room in less than an hour. The paint shield is great, I no longer get dots of paint on my face. The best part is using the paint stick for ceiling - since all our rooms had the same ceiling color, I was able to use the same paintstick for the entire 2900sqft home.

All in all, we used 4 regular size paintsticks for our walls & ceilings, and 1 mini-size (Low_es and Sea_rs have them) for the closets.

The only bad part is the cleanup. You should follow the instructions in their booklet because their methods are the easiest ways to cleanup. I was able to clean one stick in 25 minutes. So even though the painting saves a lot of time, the need to cleanup eats into that saving.

Tips:
1) Continuously squeeze the paint out so that the roller is always wet - this way it's easier to glide across the walls and saves some work for your arms.
2) The kit works with 1 gallon cans. So if you buy those big 5 gallon cans of paint, make sure you ask the paint dealer for an empty 1 gallon can to pour the paint.
3) It's helpful to have a water hose to shoot water into the tube for cleanup. You can use those kitchen faucets that can extend out, or you can use your shower (that makes a mess).
