Window weapon reach it

What’s everyone’s opinion on this? Personally I think it’s a game changer. I’ve always said something like this would be the way forward 

I just see scratches everywhere, we get seagull  :1f4a9: that has bones in it, using one of these would, in my opinion, scratch the living daylights out of the glass. 

$249, I believe the standard constructor brush works out to be around £160 in the UK so I hate to think how much this will cost. I think the idea is a good one - but I would be too worried about getting grit or muck stuck in the pad and scratching the glass. Someone needs to develop a similar thing but with holes in the pad so a high pressure but fine ‘mist’ cleans the pad as you go - similar to how a garden soaked hose works, the overspray bar would then be your rinse action.

I couldn’t see a microfibre pad scratching glass at all . It’s no different to a traditional applicator, yes the price is far to high for what it is to be fair. Although the fact you can replace the bristles on the brush and then pads surely wouldn’t cost overly that much then it wouldn’t be long until you made your money back as such as compared to buying new brushes all the time 

It all seems a bit fiddly for me. Can't really see it taking off at those sorts of prices either. To be every big new product can link itself back to someone saying ''That'll never catch on''

Looks heavy ?

Looks cumbersome and heavy to me 

no thanks!

A video of it in action would of been better.

I can hear Alex saying “ put that thing on one of my poles and it will invalidate the warrante “.  ?????

I tried out a brush called “the wedge” before. Biggest waste of £40 i ever spent. Far too heavy on the end of the pole. I’ll stick to my normal brushes.

Likewise i thought id try some different squeegees for trad. I have the moerman and also the wagtail. Good tools but the wagtail was delivered with a split pin missing so i commandeered one from another wagtail i had, the tool has weathered now & the magnetic part needs replacing so...it’s currently redundant. Also need a new liquidator rubber for the moerman excelerator as it developed an annoying “nick” and leaves soap lines now.

The rubber I’ve had in my standard unger squeegees has far outlasted it.

Quite often the cheaper, standard tools are simply the most practical & hard wearing, whether it be water fed pole or trad.

 Constructor brushes are heavier anyway I think. Anyone that has commented so far has any of yous used a microfibre applicator? Wagga has another video of it in action 

He says you can just about do the frames with the outer bristles, not much cop then I wouldn't give a 160 pence never mind a £160 

I use an extreme and have no bother cleaning first floor sill having a swivel helps also I use brush bumpers so no fear of scratching thesill.

Hello,

If someone has a Reach-it window weapon 12" to sell, i'm interested (Reach-it doesn't sell/produce this model anymore).

Thanks in advance,

Gilles

I've already one and with industrial bristles (hard bristles) with bronze wool pad and hot pure water, it makes quite a good job on lichens sticked on micro-structured solar panels. This is why I would like a second one. For the rest, I share your opinions.
