Constructor Brush
« on: December 03, 2017, 03:07:48 pm »
Hi Guys,

Do any of you use a constructor brush, are they worth the money...??
I believe once you have bought the brush you can replace the bristles...??

I believe you can replace bristles, and it looks pretty simple to do mate.

I would like to try a constructor, but its  a lot of money if I don't like it which is what happens with a lot of the stuff I try.

I'd feel uncomfortable buying from Perry Tait. He talks funny and has ridiculous sideburns.

I'm joking BTW I think the constructor brush looks like a good idea. He seems to have lots of ideas. I've watched a half hour video of him trying to explain the reach it pole. Twice. Still no idea. There seem to be good ideas in there but it's far too complicated.

I've looked before I think the constructor brush is something like £100 which would just about buy me half a dozen gardiner brushes.

Seriously don't buy it! Perry talks a good game but in reality it's sh#t!It's not good for domestic or commercial & you can't do the sills, plus the little red cannons always break!

This is the thing with the reach it range,  the price puts alot of people off but the americans lol. Must be short on suppliers out there.
So for us brits, when you can get great stock from home at very competitive prices it then becomes a gamble to buy it on the off chance you dont like it.  Also weirdly enough, you can generally sell 2nd hand gardiner equipment sometimes for the same price as new on ebay........ Doubt you would get that if you buy a reach it and end up not liking it and want to sell

I've looked into it and to be honest IMO it's  hideous and ludicrous! It's just not suitable or practical for the vast majority of wfp users. Don't be fooled by any hype!

The problem with the red cannons as now been resolved, with a one piece "Hydro blade" as they call it

We have two constructor brushes, slightly heavy compared to say a Gardiner universal brush (which is what we are using at the moment)
The problem with the red cannons breaking as now been resolved, yes you can change the configuration of the bristles, i think there is a choice of 4 types, so you may want to use lets say the the original bristle pack, which is ideal for UK regular window cleaning or you may want the Commercial bristle pack, as the title says or you want to mix them about.
its a very efficient cleaning brush, probably due to the amount of bristles and the water rinse bar is situated above the brush, so you are always rinsing on the down stroke

The red canons kept getting knocked off but that was overcome by fitting a bumper pad over the top of the canons which overcame that problem. Then they came up with a better version of jets called a hydroblade which is perfect. The brush is truly really good now. I use 12 inch on domestics and 16 inch on commercial work. Use constructor brush on most work or gardiners brushes with bissell spray bars on ninety nine percent of my work and use an almost identical method of cleaning windows as traditional window cleaners whilst wfp which is so much simpler than using stock brushes. Yes the brushes are expensive but replacing bristles is cheaper. 
Would I go back to normal stock brushes with 2-4 jets.....not likely, no way, too slow and tedious working that way.
