Amazon.com Product Description
Changing paint colors and cleaning up paint jobs need no longer be time-consuming, messy chores. Roll-N-Go, the latest innovation in Power Rollers saves time and allows do-it-yourselfers to achieve professional-quality coverage by feeding paint straight from the can to the wall, eliminating the need to dip the roller into the paint tray. Great for painting in rooms without electrical outlets, the Roll N Go operates on 4 "C" batteries. The unit paints up to 5 average sized rooms on a set of four "C" batteries (not included). The base fits around or square one-gallon cans. A 12-foot hose allows painting in an extended work area without moving the paint can. The unit's easy-grip lightweight ergonomic handle ensures optimal comfort on extended jobs. Best of all, the painter is totally portable for working room to room indoors, and for outdoor reaching up high outdoors. A disposable Lock N Go Hose and pump system ensures rapid, mess-free color changes. --Brian D. OlsonWhat's in the Box

 I would recommend this to an enemy. November 30, 2008
C. Phillips (al)
First of all, I only bought this one because of the price, my first mistake. It took a good 30 minutes or more for the paint to reach the roller and another 30 minutes or so for the roller to get enough paint on it to work. It never worked like a normal roller, it took me at least 3 times longer to paint with this than with a regular roller and I am not a pro. It also made a terrible squeaky noise every time the roller went down and up. Also, when I opened my box it didnt have the extention in there as the box said. It obviously was a return before I got it. Needless to say, I am having my husband box it up now and return it and we will try another more expensive one. I guess you get what you pay for. However, I will get my 4 "C" batteries out of it before taking it back!
BELIEVE THE BAD REVIEWS August 25, 2008
cropduster001 (New Haven, CT)
BELIEVE THE BAD REVIEWS! First of all, the other reviewer is right about this thing taking forever to pump the paint to the roller. The pump is far too inadequate to push paint to the roller and it struggled like it was about to crap-out. It just can't even keep up compared to a regular roller with a paint tray. I did an 8'x30' wall and it took almost 50 minutes (not including set up or clean up), something I could do in 25 minutes with a conventional roller. As for the clean up, it took a half an hour.
The roller is designed specially for this unit and you can't put it on a "spinner" to clean it. You half to keep rinsing it over and over and to clean the hose, you put the siphon end in a bucket of water and keep the water flowing until the water is clear.
Total time (set-up and clean up) to do an 8x35 wall close to two hours. Time with a conventional roller, one hour.
The other reviewer who said "A product that never should have been marketed" is absolutely correct. If you want a decent product, get one of those "Paint Sticks" made by Black & Decker or HomeRight or any other company with a similar product. They do the job much faster a conventional roller and clean up is the same.
I have been in the trades for thirty years and just like anybody, I like to save time whenever I can.
Trust the bad reviews! Anybody giving this a good review either works for Wagner or has not had any experience painting. ~The End!
Not a reliable product January 5, 2008

Terrible product and doesn't save any time. Like other reviewers said, it took 30 minutes for the paint to reach the roller. I was using Behr paint in an eggshell sheen. Then, it was very slow and couldn't keep the roller saturated. I would have to wait for it to re-saturate the roller every few minutes. After a wall and a half, I gave up, tried to start the cleanup process (which was messy and further time-consuming) the pump burned up and died. No, it's not user error like another reviewer suggested. I read the instructions thoroughly, and followed them step-by-step, there's nothing complicated about it. I've never had any item I purchased fail so miserably as this one. It could be a great product if it pumped much faster, but really you only need a power roller if you are doing several rooms in the same color. It doesn't take long to paint one room without mechanical assistance. I lost paint, lost time, and lost gas driving this POS back to the store where I bought it. Incredibly frustrating. Do not buy this product.
 Works as advertised December 28, 2007

The Roll 'N Go worked as advertised. It only took a couple of minutes to prime the hose. I used it to apply three one gallon cans of MAB Rich lux paint and the batteries were still going strong when I finished. It worked very well for the walls but the 14" extension was not really long enough to paint the 8' ceiling without a ladder. I wound up duct taping a broom handle onto the extension to make it longer. When I factor in cleaning up the reusable parts after only three cans of paint I probably didn't save much time, but the job was definitely allot less messy than normal. I would have given it 5 stars if the extension was longer.
Complete Disappointment December 27, 2007

Complete worthless waste of time and money. I would not recommend this to my worst enemy. I can only suspect that the peeps that wrote the good reviews actually work for wagner. I wasted 2 hours without any results at all. It is late and the store is closed and I'm on a tight deadline. Do not depend on this product to get the job done timely. Wagner should be reported to the BBB for false advertising.
Just another example of a company sacrificing quality for quantity on cheap labor in China. I hope their CEO made his/her millions this year on outsourcing, at all their 'soon-to-be' ex-customers expense!!!
