Wagner Roller Washer
This is the best way I have found to clean paint rollers.
After squeezing and/or scraping as much paint out of the fur of the roller as possible, it only takes the Roller Washer about a minute or two to blast water deep into the roller and rinse away the remaining
paint.
I usually then give my rollers a "shampoo" with some liquid soap, and moving the roller up and down inside the Roller Washer until the soap bubbles disappear. This is followed by spinning the roller on the frame with an air compressor blow gun to remove the water and fluff the fibers.

What's wrong with a traditional roller cleaner - the spinner device that you can find in any well-stocked paint or home repair store?
It has a "slow screw" plunger, that spins the roller as you pump the handle in & out of the body. Keep a bucket of water handy, and spin your roller clean inside a plastic bag, a large bucket, or outside on the grass (facing downwind!).
It's the traditional method to clean a high-quality roller. (People who give a damn about the finished project abjure those cheap, throw-away rollers for the crap they are.)
