Dulux Paintpod Question!

Good morning!

I'm looking to buy some Dulux paint and its currently on 3 for 2 at B&Q at the moment so now is the time!

However... To buy the standard 5L can its £39.99, yet the Paintpod 5L is £32.99 and I was wondering if I bought the Paintpod 5L will I be able to pour it into a normal roller tray (I don't have a paintpod and I'm not intending to buy one!)

I'd save £14 if I could buy that one instead but I've never seen a Paintpod can of paint so I'm not sure if it can only be used by using the Paintpod?

I hope I make sense!
Any advice would be helpful!

    Helpful advice is to visit a Leyland Trade Centre to buy your paint. It will be far better than Dulux and better value as it goes much further, really helpful staff too.

    The paint pod "cans" are just plastic tubs with a large top cap. So you can pour the contents into something else if you wish.

    The paint is slightly thicker iirc.

    I have a paint pod and whilst its not highly rated I do find it useful to avoid having to have a roller tray and constantly decant paint into it.

    Yes it's a gadget and a professional painter will probably not use one but they are ok for small painting projects.
