We recently be came homeowners. We walked into a house with walls that were...to say the least, not pretty. We had a bright blue bathroom and someone decided to use their hands to "paint" white clouds on the ceiling. We had hideous light house wall paper... we had faux-tile wall paper..and we walked into a light purple painted master bedroom.

So it seemed pretty obvious I just HAD to buy the point n paint, and test it out! Now, for those of ya'll who don't know what this is I will give you a run down. The point n paint is a pointy pad that is supposed to hold 5x more paint than a roller... it comes with its own little pan with a roller on it. You run the pad over the roller and it soaks up on to the pad. It's supposed to not only hold more paint, but also requires you to use no painters tape annnd allows you to paint a room in under an hour.

But... does it really work?

Well I DO have to admit, it DID make painting easier. It is much easier than a roller, and is faster than a paint brush. It was prone to drip tho, and it did get a bit messy. I still recommend using painters tape to tape off door ways and woodwork. The pads were a bit difficult to clean and dry out and after a couple uses they tended to start to shed, meaning I had to pick out pieces of pad out of my paint. Also, It still took over an hour to paint a room. It also took quite a few coats to cover despite what the commercial said about "less coats". After one room tho, I ended up having to toss the pads. If you order online your entitled to a "lifetime of refills" I however, got mine at walgreens, and refills were $9.99 if I'm not mistaken.

All in all, it wasn't a bad product. It was easier than rolling but it didn't stand up to a lot of the claims the commercial made. But like I said, it was easier than rolling, and I personally HATE rolling. The coverage wasn't bad, but you still needed plenty of coats. I would recommend this product to people who want to paint, but hate rollers. You will need a brush tho to cut in on trim because the small pads just don't cut it in my experience.

For the price I would expect a bit more out of it, but like I said, order online and get the free refills.

I give it a 3 out of 5 stars.
