The paint pod is great as you don't have to worry about spilling a tray full of paint whilst climbing up and down ladders, it's clean and effective. When I bought mine I bought a tub of the white... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages It is quick.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It is messy. Limited paint colours available.

    At the end of last month I moved into my new house in Hertfordshire. As I am taking a few months out of the workforce, I am overseeing the ginormous amount of work that needs to be done and am personally handling the painting of just about every room in the house. With this in mind, my thoughtful husband suggested that a Dulux PaintPod roller system would make lighter of these tasks for me. The TV advertisements certainly made it seem this way and so we set off intent on making our purchase. We bought our system in Homebase for £69.99, although I think it is possible to get them a little bit ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages No dustsheets needed,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Paint expensive, poor cleaning, fiddley

    Well I got round to painting my front room. I saw this advertised on the TV and so thought I'd look on youtube to see what people are saying about it. It looked quite promising after seeing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqJ5T1lHq​18 so off to B&Q to pick one up. i was suprised to see there was only about 20 colours on sale. I picked the bottle of paint and a 'Pod' and paid at the till. When I got home i took it out the box and read the instruction manual. Took the pod into the room I was decorating and switched it on. Shortly after starting I noticed the transparent rubber cover over the paint ... more

    4 Stars quite good but has some bad points too 12/04/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages clean no drips , quicker than traditional roller

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lack of available colors , can only use paint pod paint ,

    I bought this in B&Q and got it for £49.99 during one of their recent offer periods , I also purchased 2 containers of paint on the offer at 2 for £40 , I found the range of colors very limited when I got the machine home I found the amount of packaging a bit over the top , however I suppose thats to protect the machine in transit The instruction book is quite clear and shows how to set up the machine along with cleaning instructions at the rear of the booklet there is a record to allow you to keep note of usage and when to change replaceable parts such as the roller , and plastic hose to use ... more

    5 Stars Dulux Paint Pod roller system 18/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A lot less climbing up and down steps to fill roller

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Still got to do a bit of cleaning by hand on roller holder

    I bought the paint pob three weeks ago and have just used it last night. When I bought it I had to buy the paint container which is a special tub made for the pod. The price of that was a bit on the steep side as it is only Dulux paint and nothing special about it. Putting the unit together was quite easy. I decided to go with the instructions on this one because of the different fittings on it. Very little packaging so that was a relief. The parts went together easily enough, when you put the paint pod in you can put it in the wrong way round but when the pipe is placed into the hole in the ... more

    5 Stars My new bbf .........well worth £35! 13/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Paints perfectly. Cleans its self amazingly. Great for landladies/lords who cant afford painters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be heavy, noisy roller can spit fluff Paint range is still quite limited and expensive.

    Painted Living room, Hallway, Bathroom, Stairway walls and landing in one day!! Brought the paint pod while on offer £35 for the pod and £40 for two paints when brought at the same time. I got 1 color for my living room and 1 for my other rooms Instructions are easy granted I just skimmed over the picture diagrams, set up takes about 15 mins. I painted the first wall in my living room which is a decent size in 2 mins but realised the trick to using the pod without it being patchy and having to do lots of coats is to roll slowly like the man in the ad and you will only need to do 1 or 2 coats ... more
