Should You Use The Smart Roller? Wagner Smart Roller Review!

What happens here

The presenter concludes his review by summarizing the pros and cons of the Wagner Smart Roller. He classifies it as a 'middle-tier' device, suitable for DIY users painting multiple rooms with open spaces, rather than small projects or tight hallways. He criticizes its cheaply made plastic construction, heavy weight when full, paint splatter, and time-consuming setup/cleanup. He recommends professionals use a Titan Inner Feed Roller system instead. For DIY users, he suggests buying multiple inexpensive roller covers ($5-6 each) and discarding them after use to avoid cleaning.

Goal: Evaluate the overall performance and suitability of the Wagner Smart Roller.

very similar to a titan interfeed roller that hooks up to an airless sprayer that feeds your roller without having to dip and roll all the time so you know some of my observations it um i set it up fairly quick um probably less than 10 minutes and um it is dripping paint so you can tell i did use it so um we'll have that mess to clean up a little bit later all right so now you know what is my opinion you know of this device and you know after using it for the small project that i use it for it definitely is a um not a professional painter tool this is a do-it-yourselfer tool what's interesting is uh my two videographers that were videoing the entire thing they are do-it-yourselfers i asked them what their opinion is and uh both of them said they would not buy the device one of them tyler said it reminded them of those pool toys that you suck up the water and chase each other around and squirt each other with and that's kind of funny because it that is very similar so um it definitely is a do-it-yourselfer not toy it's a do-it-yourselfer tool so some of my observations about using the device and a pro tip if you do end up buying one or if you have already bought one make sure when you start drawing the paint up when i first started drawing paint up it wasn't drawing paint up at all and or very fast at all and what i noticed is i was having air leaks so i just snugged everything down tightened everything down once i got everything nice and tight and snug then it actually started pulling the paint up and pulling it uphill fairly quickly and um and it just it's simple you're just all you got to do is just pull the plunger and it fills up now you know what's interesting about the device is once you fill this thing up with paint you are actually carrying all the paint with you now so instead of it like being an extension pole and a device you're dipping and rolling with you're actually carrying your paint and so as i was rolling i definitely was starting to get a little bit hot a little bit tired a little bit sweaty and yeah i had to turn the air conditioner out because you know you do have to actually hold this paint and carry it so um and it's not light that was i'm full but it starts to empty fairly fast it does go about anywhere between on an eight foot ceiling it goes about five to ten feet before you've got to refill it i think when i was doing the small hallway i had to fill the thing probably around six or seven times so i know they they claim it's it's…
