Just bought one (half price) and have found reviews on the internet, very mixed response, wondered if anyone here had tried it??

No, but I'm curious. Have a BIG project ahead - hall, stairs, landing, long corridor upstairs. Will need whatever help I can get.

We have. Interesting that it's half price - we bought ours about 4 weeks ago - full price!

It's very economical with paint, and gives a lovely even coat, but it is SO SLOW! I could have done the room twice over in the time it took to do it once.

I wouldn't buy it again - certainly not full price. half price the saving on paint would probably make it worth it.

i have a dulux one.

i find it gtood and very easy to use, set up ad clean.

only problem is the limited choice of colours for paint.

My DH bought one about 3 weeks ago from B&Q and it was Half price.

He has used it for the Hallway,Stairs and landing and really liked it.He didn't find it slow,he says.

Read a review about not having to use the paint that comes with it,so we used ordinary paint,no problem.

The self-cleaning bit is great too.Its £49.99 at the moment in B&Q.

Thanks for the replies. I just posted this in goodhousekeeping as didn't think anyone had seen it here. Anyway, some good replies, there is a review website i managed to find with some interesting tips and comments, not sure if i could find it again though!!
I did hear that if it is slow your machine might be faulty, people seemed to be having no problem taking them back and getting them replaced.
I don't think i will start for a few weeks as i have some other things to be getting on with but hope it is good as i am useless at painting!
