Question 1

do I need to buy replacement naps? what size is the nap?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You may reuse the roller cover as the core is hard plastic with holes in it - this allows for the self loading feature. I saw replacement covers at our local Lowes hardware store but you can get through Amazon like I did.  I would suggest that a roller cleaning tool would be a good purchase. Home Right has a trick roller cleaner that you hook on your faucet that rinses the roller pretty easily. The nap length is rather short - probably 3/8".

Question 2

Do I have to buy a new roller every time I change colors? Or are the rollers able to clean and reuse

Accepted Answer

I am still looking at them, but have been painting for years. A good trick for quick and easy cleaning: A lot of wall paints are oil soluble, not water soluble. So, use vegetable oil to clean the roller. Then hot soapy water to remove the vegetable oil.  Unless you buy a roller cleaner, of course. But veggie oil is my secret weapon against paint covered equipment. (Also helps remove it easily from carpet. Dilute the paint in veggie oil and then run a shampooer over it. Before it dries, of course.)

Question 3

Does it come with a splatter guard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's a plastic guard that covers about half the roller. It easily pops on and off.

Question 4

How easy is it to clean and how?  Are there instructions that come with the EZ roller?

Accepted Answer

Instructions do come with the roller and are easy to follow.  It takes up to 1/2 hour to clean after painting to get it completely clean and use again and again.  We are using it to paint a number of rooms with very different colors. The time and mess it saves while painting is worth the clean up at the end.  Cleaning regular paint supplies and getting them completely clean to use again also takes time.
