 Worth buying - Makes trimming faster Jul 26, 2008
By D. Jansen
I had a decent amount of success with the Accubrush. It doesn't take long to learn how to use it, but it IS important you spend time learning how it works and practicing with it a few times.
You've likely seen the videos the company has demonstrating the product:
1) It does around windows amazingly well leaving a perfect line - and fast!
2) It does around doors and trimming in the ceiling pretty well. The only draw back to doors and ceilings is that the entire brush must pass over an area to draw it's edge, which simply wont work in ceiling corners or where the door trim meets the floor. This leaves a gap of about 10 inches in each of those spots where you will have to trim in by hand; though I rather only trim in those spots and not the whole area.
Note: The brush has an adjustable setting that dictates how far out the line is to be made, and you will need to extend it to trim ceilings. So again, learn the product before using!
Pros:
1) Very straight line in a very short amount of time.
2) The trimmed area has the textured roller effect instead of the directional line effect achieved with a regular brush.
3) Ease to clean.
Cons:
1) Still leaves manual trimming in ceiling corners and at the bottom of doors.
2) Will not work against baseboard - wood is too thin.
3) The plastic latch that secures the handle to the device for handhold use, versus on a pole, is too flexible and often pops open when rolling by hand. - Very annoying, I'd like to see the company fix this to make it 100% solid.
4)There is a "floating metal square" on the plastic guard that helps control the paint. When trimming ceilings the metal square rubs against the ceiling and leaves a gray/black mark on the ceiling. I solved the problem by cutting a square of painters tape the same size as the metal and carefully covering it up. The metal must still move/float, so it's critical to have the tape cover only the metal. I would like to see the company coat the metal in plastic or something that wont rub off.
In conclusion:
I, like you, have wasted more money on other edgers and trimmers in my life time. This one performs the best of them all and gives you a hand drawn line with less effort. Buy it, but just realize it's JUST an edging tool to give you a leg up... it wont remove all of the effort out of painting a room!

Works somewhat and overpriced - and you still need a lot of painter's tape Jan 03, 2010
By Stephen Chu
I bought it and used the XT to paint 6 rooms with it. I have to say it works in very good conditions nicely as advertised. However, when you are doing a paint job, a lot of times you don't have the perfect condition to work with. I'm going to tell you what is *not* advertised.
You are going to have to blue-tape a wall's (4) inner corners. In addition, I found that the XT when used together with a 5-gallon bucket and a roller grid, the XT roller release almost always dips into the paint as well. As a result, you *have to have* paper towel wiped clean the release button after you dip into the bucket - every single time. Also, because of how *easily* the XT drips paint out of the roller when used against the ceiling, I *strongly* suggest you blue-tape all bottom South-side baseboards and what not *all the way*. That's right, all you're saving is from taping the West, North, and East middle sections on any given wall and trims.
Also, while this tool does the edges quite well, be prepared to keep the wall/ceiling side metal and wheels dry and clean. Especially the wheels. Otherwise when the wheels walk on the wall that you don't want paint on... you get the idea. Again, kitchen towel is your other friend.
After you edge your wall (say ceiling) with this tool, I suggest you use a/the roller to even out the edges that the tool just introduced before it dries out. Just like a professional painter(s) would, one guy does the edging while the other guy follows him and paint the rest while the paint is wet. Otherwise you will run into some problem with the paint not even out (or flat out).
The (3) pieces of connecting wooden stick is a joke. I used it for half a wall and the interconnecting plastic broke. Get a real extension at Home Depot.
You also have to learn how to angle your extension (about 15-20 degrees) to get maximum leverage to walk the tool smoothly.
So in summary, you have to keep the tool as clean as possible (yes talking about during a paint job), have plenty of kitchen towel to wipe off any excessive paint, and you still need painter's tape. Other than that, this tool does save you time for all the edging, at least in my case.

Cool tool Feb 04, 2010
By R. M. Boyle
Both the MX and XT are cool tools. We are professional painters and these tools significantly increased our productivity.
Pros:
-Cuts straight lines consistently and lightning fast. We were cutting 10-12 ft. per minute along ceilings.
Cons:
-This is a sloppy tool. Keep a wet rag handy to wipe up drips, there will be many.
-This is a plastic tool and the thumb lock broke within the first 4 hours of use. I'm not sure that this tool will last for regular professional use which is disappointing.
-The plastic used to make this tool is very difficult to clean.
In spite of these cons this is a great tool. I also have 2 suggestions for new users.
1. Saturate the roller.
2. Keep the pole at a 45 degree angle, use more pressure than you'd expect and move the roller by walking the wall rather then moving your arms back and forth. Arm movement will create an uneven and crooked cut.

 Accubrush works as advertised Jan 03, 2010
By L. Gardner
I have been searching for a method to cut in paint for years. I bought the Accubrush with trepedation after so many other ideas had failed. I was pleasantly surprised at the results. After a few practice swipes I was painting like a pro.
I bought the kit with both edgers because I had a lot of paining to do. I started with the XT and was surprised at the ease of use. I did an entire room in half the time I usually take. Although saving time is of value what I really like was the consistant straight lines at the ceiling. Trimming around windows is not only fast but fun. This tool is so slick it makes me smile when I use it. I was very proud of the finished project.
On the next room I decided to try the MX because it was a small room. I wasn't as impressed. For some reason it didn't yeild the same results. I think the rear wheel loaded up with paint too soon and didn't allow the brush to do its magic. The finish was better than any previous method I've used which amounts to more work and more tape. I will stick with the XT in the future.
My family is so impressed, everyone wants to borrow it to paint their house. If you are on the fence about the Accubrush you should try it. I think the reviews are all positive and the results speak for themselves. I have never written a review on any product before but I was impressed enough to draft this for the Accubrush.

Can't believe how well it worked Oct 29, 2009
By S. Bellomo
I saw the accubrush in a Google ad when I was searching for a power roller. I clicked on it and watched the video. It seemed too good to be true and felt a little on the pricey side at almost $100. I couldn't believe I found myself buying it.
I'm telling you, it worked EXACTLY as pictured. I couldn't believe how well it worked.
First bit of advice - get this kit over the others. I think it's important to have both the MX and the XT. The XT works great for ceilings on a pole but I didn't like it for door / window frames. The MX works great on door / window frames but I would have had to use the ladder to get the ceiling - so IMO, you need both if you want to do the least amount of work.
Second bit of advice - get plenty of paint on the roller. When they say saturate the roller, they mean it. The only time I had trouble was when I wasn't putting enough paint on the roller.
I have 12 foot ceilings with that popcorn texture. The popcorn texture made using it on a pole a bit harder but it was still much easier than getting up and down a ladder. I edged two large rooms in about an hour. I never even had a chance to get out the power roller that I bought because a buddy just followed me with a normal manual roller.
Their site and videos (and name) have a cheesy informercial feel but the product really works great.
