As a renter, I like getting my security deposit back at the end of my lease. Unfortunately, I don’t like living in a home with bland, boring white walls! When it came time to repaint everything at the end of my last stay, I didn’t want to drag out the brushes, rollers, and pans, spend a full day covering all of my floors and furniture with newspapers, and wear myself out painting every wall by hand. When I saw the ads for the Paint Zoom, I was intrigued, and decided to give it a try.
At first, I was excited about all of the extras it came with. I hadn’t ever used a sprayer before, so the instructional DVD was a nice addition. I also didn’t realize that regular house paint will clog (and ruin) a sprayer’s nozzle if you don’t thin it out first, so the viscosity measuring cup was an awesome addition that I didn’t even know I needed. Lastly, I loved the free drop cloths and painter’s tape. I go through rolls and rolls of the stuff, so having some extra for free was fantastic.
Now, for the Paint Zoom itself. I’d seen what renting or buying other sprayers cost, so I wasn’t expecting much from this one. I figured if it could save me the trouble of having to paint one room by hand, it’d be well worth it! I was surprised, then, at how quickly and easily I managed to finish my living room. The one-touch operation was amazing, it really didn’t feel like work at all. Instead of dealing with gloppy paint rollers and straining arms, all I had to do was spray, and sweep my arm to give my walls nice, even coverage. I managed to finish two rooms in the time it would have taken me to do one the old way, and didn’t need to stop to rest and relax my aching arms like I used to.
Once I was finished, I got another pleasant surprise- the Paint Zoom was so easy to clean! Unlike brushes and rollers that hold a ton of paint, and never really seem to clean up all of the way no matter how much you rinse them, cleaning the nozzle and reservoir of the Paint Zoom was an absolute breeze. I almost can’t wait to paint my next apartment, the Paint Zoom seems like it’ll make the whole job as easy as pie.
Even though I don’t own my own home, and the only painting I do on a regular basis is on canvas, the Paint Zoom was well worth the money. Even if it hadn’t been, the fact that it came with a money back guarantee made me confident enough to try it out. If you’re like me, and hate having to paint rooms by hand, the Paint Zoom can save you a ton of money, time, and effort.
