If you go that route, buy or rent a pro-quality machine. Don't waste your time, effort, or money with anything "consumer" oriented, you'll regret it.
Powered rollers are meant to do a large area quickly. If you're not up to doing a lot of work in a short period of time, stick with the standard roller or a sprayer. The cleanup and setup process of the powered roller can easily take longer than the painting process itself!
If you stick with a standard roller, buy a microfiber roller cover. Yes, they're about 4x the cost of a standard wool or synthetic roller, but they cover so much better, hold so much more paint, and will let you go nearly as fast as the powered roller will. When I repainted my house I discovered those covers. A 5/16" nap let me paint a 20 x 20 room in under 30 minutes, and that was 2 coats (I live in a really dry climate!)
