Ordered. Got what Was represented within a few days.

This inexpensive tool has been amazing. I can edge a room (crown molding, doorways, windows, and baseboard molding inside 30 minutes). I load the product with my paint brush...I do not dip it as instructed. I saw this trick on YouTube and am I glad I did my research. Be mindful not to put too much paint on the pad each time you load it or you could have a "bleeding" problem where the paint will possibly run a little and ruin your crisp trim line. Pressure is a key as well. Watch a few YouTube videos from professional painters who use this tool; you'll get the hang of it in no time. The inside corners are the ONLY places you need a paint brush. I actually go around my room first with the paint brush and get the inside corners and then edge with this tool, then roll and done. Clean up is a breeze too. Even if you used oil based paint, the pads are not that expensive if you used once and tossed. I never used it on a pole, but used it to trim the walls and even a fair amount of ceilings in my 4,000 sf home...so you can do the math on how many 100's of feet I have trimmed...lots of work, but this product does a really nice job.

You won't be disappointed; I highly recommend this product.

Pros: Easy to apply paint to small areas and paint looks more similar to paint you've applied with a roller. Unless you're a pro, cutting in with a brush and painting with a roller can create distinct differences. The tool and pad clean up nicely and I was surprised that I didn't have any problems keeping the pad in place.

Cons: When edging, the rollers and guides can get gummed up with paint fairly easily. Some of this can be avoided by not overloading the pad, and lifting the guides (there's a latch/button) when filling in (i.e., not edging). I found myself wiping off the guides frequently and still got some paint on the ceiling. Live and learn.

Overall experience, I would definitely use this product again. It saves tons of time and coats more similarly to a paint roller thus reducing lap marks and lines.

Affordable and easy to use. If you set it into paint make sure you use side of paint tray to get extra paint off before use or use a paint brush to apply paint evenly. Easy to clean but make sure you keep a cloth near so you can wipe off the black guard located with the wheels so you don't get paint where you don't want it. I check and wipe the guards after applying paint each time before using. In my photos edges weren't straight with original paint before I painted so ceiling edges need to be done also. So In my photos the edges may not appear to be straight but they definitely are straight. I haven't used this edger with a pole/extension attached, only used by hand.
I do recommend this to other!!

This is a tool I use on every paint job. It really helps me not mess the edges up. I had an older model but lost it. I am glad to have this replacement. You have to be careful about how much paint you use or it will run and drip.
