I would imagine that if a decorator is doing a single room then the efficiency gains over the traditional roller/brush method would be minimal due to the amount of masking involved but when doing the whole interior of a new build property I think efficiency would be much improved but it would be good to hear the thoughts of someone who does that type of work daily.

But faults happen with everything regardless of price, manufacturer, car, woodworking machine and so I would never let that put me off.

That could be equally down to him not cleaning it properly.

You've hit the nail on the head there. It does depend on how much masking needs to be done but in an empty or near-empty room, boy...it beats rollering and rollering and rollering and rollering hands down.
