The PaintPod is a power assisted roller system that enables you to control the

flow of paint onto the roller at all times. It has a unique triangular edging brush

which makes light work of edges and corners before walls are painted with the

roller. Finally, when you have finished, it cleans itself whilst you stand back and

admire your work!!
