Pros: none
Cons: does not dry
"Decided to decorate son's bedroom as away for week with school. Applied this paint on Thursday & today (Saturday) it is still wet, not even tacky!. Having read reviews it seems this batch ((W709351002 / 101506957) purchased from Feb this year (2012) has had problems with not drying & going yellow very quickly. It has caused so much inconvenience, son has asthma & therefore not able to sleep in there when returned Friday. We have been advised to take all the paint off from everywhere we have painted in the room which is going to ruin the rest of the decorating we have done in there."

Pros: very good finish eventually
Cons: it takes an aternity to dry!
"Do not believe the drying times on the tin! Even after 48 hours in a centrally heated room my 5 year old managed to leave finger prints in the surface. Too soft to be rubbed down after 3 days !"

Pros: easy to apply and doesn't really drip
Cons: takes days to dry, turns yellow after a few months
"Bought this because of previous reviews however I'd extremely unhappy with the product. At first I liked it, covers well and doesn't really drip at all but my opinion started going downhill slowly after that.
Drying time is measured in days rather than hours, and even after a few days when you think it's completely dry you'll find if you rub against it with your clothes chances are you'll end up covered in the stuff.
Once it dries it does look excellent for a few weeks at least. In my hallway and stairs I painted the walls pure white with wickes own brand emulsion which I have to say is excellent, I painted skirtings rails etc with this gloss and the difference in shades is terrible after only 3 months.
The gloss now looks like it's been up for years in a household who smoke 100 cigs a day or more, it really is that bad. The irony here is the fact I took a door off my kitchen as it leads to a small porch and isn't needed, it was painted three years ago when I moved into my house and even with some scuffs etc from wear and tear it still looks better than the doors painted with this gloss.
Maybe I wouldn't have noticed it as quickly if I'd have painted the hall and stairs a different colour but there's no way on earth it should have changed colour so fast.
Very very poor."

Pros: cover's great
Cons: takes how long to dry?
"Covers great, easy to use. Bit smelly but if it stays white and doesn't yellow like others I can put up with that.
However, stopped painting at 14.30 now 00.51 and still wet! - not tacky, wet. Tried to dry with hairdryer and appears to get wetter!"

Pros: finish and colour
Cons: drying time can take 48hrs to fully harden
"HAVING SPENT MANY POUNDS ON INTERIOR GLOSS PAINT OVER THE YEARS, THIS IS THE BEST GLOSS PAINT EVER.
FORGET THE LEADING BRANDS, AND TRENDY NAMES, GET A TIN OF THE NON-DRIP AND TRY IT FOR YOUR SELF.
THE FINISH IS UNBELIEVEABLE, AND A MIRROR FINISH, MY DOORS ARE VERY BRILLIANT WHITE, AND THE RADIATOR COVERS ARE AMAIZING.
YOU WOULD THINK THAT ALL THE GLOSS WORK WAS POLISHED, BUT IT'S THE FINISH.
THE GOOD THING IS, THE NEW TINS PREVENT ANY SKIN, BUT ALWAYS LEAVE YOUR TINS UPSIDEDOWN WHEN FINISHED WITH."
