Great find. All I have heard is that removing it is really messy.

Wow, watched the video. So simple and clean.

Hopefully someone will get back to us that has used it and let's us know it's as easy as it looks !!

Angel, you don't need to do anything that makes a mess. I had to re-do the tile and paint in a bathroom after an a/c leak. Since I have always used semi-gloss in kitchens and baths (easier to keep clean), I wanted smooth surfaces. I also wanted the ceiling to be the same color as the walls, so it was important, visually, that the surfaces "matched." The painter didn't even try to remove the popcorn! He used a trowel to put a thin coat of plaster over the "bumps." Then he painted over the resulting smooth-as-glass surface. That was more than 10 years ago and I have not had a single problem. I have a feeling this technique is somewhat of an art, so you might have to look around to find someone with that skill. And, no, at that time it was not any more expensive than a regular paint job.

p.s. There had been wallpaper in the bathroom (ugh). When it was removed, some of the sheet rock was torn off with it, leaving a few patches where the wall had to be evened out. He used the same technique to make those repairs, and I can't see any trace of them. Surely this is something a good painter could do, although I have to admit that that person might need some of Michelangelo's overhead painting skills. ;-)

This video is pretty cool, but it is definitely not always this easy! If your popcorn ceiling has been painted over there is no way you can scrape it off without spraying it down first, and it even if it hasn't, scraping it off dry can be exhausting and a nightmare.

This blog post has some cool advice that is a little more practical. Spraying the ceiling with mix of water and laundry detergent and scraping it with a large blade works very well with less hassle then fumbling with a vacuum cleaner: http://www.wbdoors.com/blog-layout/the-popcorn-ceiling-removal-saga-and-4-videos-to-make-it-easier 

Because these ceilings were popular in the 70's and most I would assume have been painted a few times, wondering if it would still be as easy. I have popcorn ceilings in two rooms of my home - scared to even attempt, as my sister in law tried to remove painted popcorn and they had to spend hundreds of dollars to fix and repair.

Maureen, that almost happened to me. When I bought my townhouse, I had the whole interior painted, over at least two layers of former paint jobs. I wanted to remove the popcorn everywhere, but the painting contractor told me it couldn't be done (that was 20 years ago). I insisted that he give it a try in my bedroom, because I didn't want to wake up every morning looking up at popcorn. The painters used a belt sander and got some of it off. If they had been more aggressive, it would indeed have caused an expensive mess because the sander would have gouged the sheetrock. It looks OK, but my eventual Popcorn Solution is the best! I've posted it here (above), and I also started a separate discussion, which you can see here: [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/popcorn-ceiling-heres-the-best-way-to-deal-with-this-monster-dsvw-vd~3857333[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/popcorn-ceiling-heres-the-best-way-to-deal-with-this-monster-dsvw-vd~3857333)

@Jadekd - thanks for the link on removal (my sister in law did gouge the sheetrock). I don't really notice it anymore and no one comes into the house saying..omg, so I think it's going to remain!

You're welcome, Maureen. I have to admit that my preferred solution is not a DIY project -- unless you're a skilled painter. I like Angel's example, but I wouldn't do that myself, either!
