I’m not quite sure who recommended this steaming pile of garbage to me, but when I figure it out there will be payback.So we’re in a time crunch here with the floors having the final coat put on in the morning. Seemed like a great time to paint the living room. Any minor boo boos will be easily cleaned up before the morning. So I get the Power-Roller all hooked up and ready to go. Supposed to be a snap — the people in the directions and on the box smiling and such. It sucks. Horrible user interface and it barely runs. about a third of the way I realize that I’d have already been done, had I gone the tried and true way. Ang and I had the foresight to put down large drop cloths (although from the look of things on the box, these are completely unnecessary).
BANG!
The wand attached to the roller breaks off and goes crashing to the ground, as I spew white paint like a sprinkler all over the window, wall, window-sill and the floor. Ang and I look at each other in complete shock for what seemed like a minute, neither of us able to even move.
After much cussing and cleaning, I’ve tossed the entire mess in the box – partially cleaned and can’t wait until I get to return it to Home Depot. Part of me hopes they aren’t receptive to it being returned — I’m in the mood for a fight over this one.
