Accubrush XT Pole Mountable Paint Edger with Roller and Adjustable Brush, Handheld MX Paint Edger, Four Refill Rollers, Four Refill Brushes Combo Kit

Painted my whole house with this.. had some issues with the guard building up with paint after every time I used it . A must to clean to many times when you're in a hurry .

I was pretty excited about this product as I had already painted half of what I needed to paint and did the edges by hand. It looked great by hand but takes A LOT of time, patience, and concentration for someone like me who is a DIY amateur painter. The concept of being able to put an edger on the pole and taking care of the ceilings (without me high up on a ladder bending my body n neck to get my eyes on the hand painted edging risking a fall) was super appealing. I got the big pack with the hand held edger and the pole mountable edger with a bunch or replaceable rollers and brushes. I started by opening the package for the pole mountable one and saw a problem immediately. The pivot handle that attaches the pole to the edging device was flimsy, not attached properly, couldn't be fixed and looked loose as though the edger would fall off the pivot handle at any point. I decided to try it anyways. I did as instructed by the video and ran into a number of problems: 1- The edger kept dripping paint off of the brush area so much! I had drips on my walls, baseboards, floors (thank God I protected the floor with covering and started painting the ceiling first), and I even somehow got dripped on in my hair. 2- The edger DID fall off the pivot handle while I was painting multiple times. 3- The edges were NOT clean like they were by hand. 4- The rolling wheel component of the edging device ruined my dry wall and now I somehow have poorly painted peeling drywall. This is a 10 year old home so the drywall is still in GREAT condition (In the video, I show the original ceiling to show no defects are present... then when the painted part comes into view, things are peeling). I used a premium paint that is newly bought as well so the peeling is definitely not from poor quality or old paint (used Sherwin Williams Emerald interior acrylic latex paint). This device works ok if you have no other option as long as you put something down on the ground to protect your floors. Personally, I'm going back to painting by hand. Lesson learned: painting just doesn't have many functional and aesthetically appealing shortcuts.

It works good on areas where it's hard to get a ladder. You will need to wipe off paint often from the cover to keep it from dripping. I was using it on a stenciled ceiling. I ran it back and forth probably 5 times in an area to get good coverage. It covered well using Baer Dynasty paint. Do not use a lot of pressure. I was using an extension pole. Corners are the hardest to get.

I got this set to help paint the ceiling line across stairs. I first tried the handheld in an upstairs hallway, along crown molding and baseboards. It was very disappointing. I had to spend time fixing lines. But I had originally wanted to try the Accubrush XT on a pole to reach across stairs and paint along crown molding because I didn't want to mess with ladders on stairs. And that worked great. I then used the XT on the baseboards and along door moldings and again, it worked great. How I wish I had used it on all the baseboards that first day. For me, the XT moved more fluidly and cut closer than the handheld. So I would recommend buying the XT alone, and forget about the handheld. Added note, when I used the XT on baseboards and door moldings, I used it like a handheld, not on a pole.

Hard to clean. Doesn't always paint a straight line. Bleeds through. For the price too much.

I haven’t used this indoors yet but have used it to paint the fascia board after getting a new roof. Painting gray right next to a white trim piece is not something I can pull off with a brush. I didn’t have a steady hand in my 20s and that was several decades ago. This was perfect with a clean edge right up against the roof trim seal. Just perfect.

While the idea is a good concept, I found that it doesn’t work well. First, the roller covers are cheaply made such that even on a first use, some of the fibers on the cover comes off during painting. Cleaning and trying to reuse is a waste of time because the cover greatly degrades when cleaned. The ideal use would be for painting the edges of the wall where it meets the ceiling. Unfortunately many of those edges are not even, so I ended up having to paint over with a brush. It worked a bit better along molding, but not enough to justify the cost.

Maybe the most innovative interior painting solution I've ever tried. Not sure I get all the negative commentary. I'm currently painting a foyer with 18 foot ceilings and a spiral staircase that limits use of a ladder. Mounted to an extension pole, I'm getting clean lines around all the ceiling edges. The pivoting of the tool helps in reversing direction, and suggest after each application, you just dab the small corner brush with a rag. Doing so removes excess paint that contributes to clean lines. Only issue is corners - I'm using the cheap red lowes/home-depot edging tool which is highly inferior to the accubrush, but I only have to get maybe 4-5 inches of the corner with the cheaper tool - just being more careful with that as it's not easy to keep clean lines in the corners with that tool.
