Does anyone know where the cheapest place to get these and the paints are at the moment ?

If you mean the square shaped 1 that ties you in to that exact brand and range then I'd think twice for that reason, ie, the paint is expensive, :money: remember
I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

don't bother , if they were that great all painters would have one , they don't , invest in a decent quality roller , sleeve ,pole and tray and you can do your painting hassle free
the paint pod was an invention that didn't need inventing as there are far easier and better ways of putting paint on walls0 -
Thanks for the input :-) I just thought it looked a less messy way to paint....0

Don't bother, why do you think they have discounted them as no one of sound mind is buying them.0

Try paint pads, they're far less messy than rollers and are quick to use.
As Ben says pads are less messy for new painters if a little slower.
Use a small brush to cut in at the edges.
Whichever way you go don't try and rush it , take time to understand/ perfect the method. Move furniture clear and cover it and carpets up well.
Sods law stipulates that paint will always drip on the square inch you didn't cover properly."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

We bought one when they first came out as we had a lot of decorating to do and I would strongly suggest you don't bother. Ours was used once, gave up with it half way round room put it in the attic and it's been there ever since. Complete waste of money.
Do what someone else suggested and buy a decent roller and brushes and do it that way.0 -
Too late, I ordered one.....will let you know how i get on.....0

We had the 'Compact' Paintpod free with some paint last year and have recently tried it out. We were pretty pleased with it and managed to paint the room relatively quickly with minimal mess. Walls were easy, ceilings needed a bit more effort but it was nice not to have to keep on dipping the roller into the paint all the time.0
