I was a bit sceptical when my mother bought me this system as I intended painting the hallway and dining room myself. I've never painted before and was a bit nervous about the whole thing. However, once I got started the whole job went brilliantly and I was surprised by how fast I managed to get the job done. In the past my ex has done all the decorating and, although he always did a great job, it was quite a messy business and I always had loads of cleaning up to do afterwards. I was really chuffed at how well I did the job and at how tidy it all seemed to be. Minimum cleaning required afterwards, so all in all, this was a great buy. I would really recommend this system to anybody who needs to get some decroating done but doesn't have experience of doing it. It made everything so simple.

i've never used this item before, but found it really easy and enjoyable

Initially with first pod, I thought 'great product' no mess, cleaned as it said it would, just like the demonstration in B & Q. Seemed worth the more expensive paint. My son used it shortly after and it would not work properly - resorted to ordinary roller. When I used again, the trigger snapped. Wrote to Dulux who gave me a credit note for another. Have just used replacement Paintpod and it fails to work - appears to be 'dead' although blue light on. Tried all the troubleshooting suggestions, replacing battery etc etc., still no joy. I give up....and I would not buy another.

I was considering buying the Dulx paintpod & thought id do a little bit of research before i rushed out to Homebase to buy one, Homebase are selling the dulux paintpod at £64.99, so i was supprised to see Home Bargains were selling the same thing for £14.99 so i ordered one from Home Bargains. Abolulute bargain! So far i've done a stippled(artex) ceiling & not a spot of paint on me or my funiture, trust me i'm always covered,ive done 2 coats on 3 walls & again no paint on me or the furniture, didnt have any drips like other reviewers said, It took no time at all & i didnt have all that cleaning up to do, loved the cutting in brush its the best one ive ever used. I only used 2 to 3 litre which is what i expected to use, my only critism is the price of the paint (£35) & you have to buy 5 litres everytime. Didnt think the cleaning process would be any good to be honest but again i was supprised, 10 mins was all it took,just a little bit of hand washing the parts in warm water & it was all done. I cannot fault the Dulux paintpod & can't wait to use it again.

This product is absolutely fabulous. Like one of the reviewers said, those who don't like it do not know how to use it. Well done Dulux!!!

Had leakages from both the paint and the batteries. The tube is too long, and the coverage is below par. Take my word, and most peoples on here, and steer clear!

I was given one buy a customer and love it!! Iv used paint pod paint, dulux mixed colours, farrow and ball Wickes and crown perfect Finnish every time! No spray no mess it's so easy a child could use it. It does take a couple of hot water cycles to clean and a little Time wiping the rolling arm over but well worth the Effort for the Finnish and speed!

The dulux paintpod ranks with such technological advances as the chocolate teapot. Utter s**t, I would make less mess sucking the paint through a tube and spitting it onto the wall. Don't buy one, don't borrow one, if you see one smash it with a hammer. Rubbish paint coverage (unless you count the skirting boards and floor). Uneven paint coverage (unless you count the skirting boards and the floor). Pointless invention, I'm glad I only borrowed it from my father-in-law. Buy a paint tray, some paint and some rollers, it's cheaper, takes less time and is far, far, far less messy.

Purchased with great expectations having read the burb. Reality is, it's easy to use but clean, efficient and value for money it is not. Regular roller and paint will do the job just as well with a great deal less effort and mess, at a fraction of the cost.

It was good to start, wasn't doing bad with it. But then after 10 minutes the thing was leaking all over the shop. Had to take it back.

i did not use the painter immediately after purchase.The batteries had leaked.cleaned up the battery holder and put in new batteries.Okay so away we go or so you think,the paint is poor quality and the batteries run out very quicly even though you use as directed.I also found that contrary to Dulux claims there is paint that splashes off the end s of the roller.In my opinion the feed tube is far to long.I got fed up so i emptied some of the paint into a plastic roller tray and what came out would have needed stirring.i did this which took some time and tried a little batch on a wall. same result bad coverage even with a ordinary roller. the product is in the bin where it belongs.a high price to pay for the paint and roller. Buyer beware. les wilson experienced diyer age 65.

Used it twice thought it was great then the trigger broke then it went and through paint everywhere have got to paint skirtings again very messy niosey doesnt clean itself horrible machine waste of money would really like to take onto patio and kick into touch retched article I did like the little brush they supplied very usefull

One of the best gadgets I have ever bought makes painting a piece of cake. Contrary to previous reviews my paintpod has worked without a hitch. Brilliant wall coverage no drips and good cleaning. I used to hate painting. Now its a doddle. Done the dining room and sitting room in one day no problem. Highly recommend.

does not cover well at all. Better to put the real work in.
