goodbye dishpan hands! It was nice to be able to cover a much larger area in one swipe. Now I don't need to store 50 buckets and a 100 sponges

These grout buckets are awesome. I wish that I had started using them five years sooner. The only thing that I dont like is the hook and loop material is glued to the handle comes off. I buy the shorter handles, they are made better and work great with this bucket.

Huge timesaver over 5 gallon bucket and sponge. Sponges last a long time and clean better. Well worth the money.
Solid and fast. Great for the pro., 12/29/2009

I filled in the roller holes with thinset with Kerelastic to help dry the sponge more. I also cut the rinsing grid down so it takes less water to fill. The instruction video is dead wrong when the guy floods the floor and then goes back over it. Your goal should be to try dressing and finishing in 2 passes over any given area (including the overlap of the previous pass), with the leading edge LOWER than the tailing edge (put more pressure on the front). Only 1-2 square feet per \"rinse and squeeze\" cycle should be done, otherwise there will be too much haze left over. View sponge after you wipe to see if you're doing too much (tailing edge should still be clean). Slits in the sponge suck, as their only effect is to maybe leave a mark in the grout if you press too hard. I like their thinness though (easier squeezing). Bucket stability is ok, perhaps not as good as other buckets, but the water stays in really good when rollering. 3 rollers really help to not overshoot the rollers, thus saving about 1 precious second per squeeze, and more when you don't have to clean up the water on the cabinet faces when you do. It's just big enough if you want to use an oversized sponge. The only improvements I might further suggest would be to have locking casters on the back as well as the front and a flexible yet strong bottom that allows for easy knocking out of hardened grout. It's too rigid to do that now, so a putty knife works. The grid supports are cones that fill with grout. I don't like the hook and loop design because it limits squeezing (I think sponges should be contact cemented on). The heavy handles sure feel nice though, and are easy on blisters. There are no bearings in the rollers, yet all the plastic involved somehow shows no wear after more than a year of use. Change the video and the Barwalt Ultra is approaching perfection. Well done.

The only concern I have is that hooks on sponge handle are not glued very well. I have to glue them again after a week of use
