I am a lazy DIY man who wants it as easy as possible.
Are those Paint Pods good? Do they work? Do they make easier?

Bought one when they were on offer, not regretted it. Only downside is the relatively limited range of colours available for it. Actually using it is good, makes painting about as fuss free and clean as it can get.

Overpriced in my opinion for all the use you're likely to get out of it. Its not as if it does the painting for you.
So, you cant just tip paint you have into it?

No.
Well then that's just cack

You have to buy the special pods for it, hence Archangelus's reference to the limited colours availiable. The paint is mixed to a specific viscosity so that it can be pumped through the system.

Yeah, and you're limited to the most boring neutral colours imaginable in the range of paint you can put in it.

ever thought of trying the paint runner?
we bought a cheapo copy that wasnt as good but it cut down on painting time and has now come in handy for doing the outside decking varnish

my weekend job in B&Q, we have lots of nil returns comming back, due them basically breaking down in some shape or form. However i have heard some really good comments about them from other customers, seems to be a mixed bag.
As for the paint itself, i really cant see this been solt a year down the line, as its not that popular and people will be stuck with the machine. Also you cant use normal paint, as it gets clogged. Few customers have washed out their pot and put normal paint in there trying to water it down, no joy.
£1.97 roller set. Throw away when done no cleaning is the most popular option

Actually I find the lack of colours helps, how many shades of white do you actually need 
The paint is of really good quality and the coverage is excellent, a little paint goes a long way. It's great for ceiling with very little mess and splatter once you get used to not overloading the roller.
My old man was a builder by trade and even he was impressed with the finish it gives, it's great for large areas, bit of a fiddle when you have lots of doors/windows etc.

I have a friend who works at delux and they had the big hype when it was released. Their conclusion after being given one was its not worth having when you factor in the price of the watered down paint you get in a pod(apparantly all their water based paints will work with it if you water them down enough).
