What You'll Learn:
Power-Feed Roller
Compared with a brush, paint rollers save time, but power rollers can speed the process even more. A built-in motor continuously pumps paint from a bucket to the roller head, so you don't have to stop to load up every few strokes. Power rollers make sense for big jobs. The downside is that the machine has to be disassembled and cleaned before you can switch colors or put it away. That may cost you more time than you save in painting.
