I’ve never needed anything more than an xtreme brush.

The reach it prices are obscene!

[windowswashed]

They are too expensive. Are they good ..... yes, miles better than the rest out there. Would I use any other make of brush ...... no chance!

Seeking clarification. Which brushes do you mean. And why?

[windowswashed]

Two main reasons why radial range are better:
1. bristles are fewer yet more compact
2. rinse bars give out a curvature effect

[Stoots]

Same as ionics stuff

Overpriced 💩

I’ve never really understood the brush obsessions.

I clean first cleans, facias, soffits, gutters, windows, my van, etc etc. All with an xtreme brush, have done got years on end. I’ve never, ever, needed a different brush.

I just don’t see any benefit. I’ve used other brushes in the past, never made me faster, never made the day any easier, it’s just bristles on the glass, they all do the exact same thing…

Sorry to press for more details, I don't understand what this means in practice - how much faster are they than a typical wfp brush - do they get stuck on stuff off or is it rinsing - and why?

Have you tried them?

If the bristles were guaranteed not to fall out within a year it would be interesting but by the looks of it wouldn’t get into corners of window frames

There would have to serious wow factor to these brushes at the price they are for them to get me away from the brushes I currently use.

The only way that would happen for me is if they cleaned, rinsed and removed snail trails with one or two passes because that's about the only thing that would make my working day better in terms of kit. But at the price these brushes are I doubt I'd buy to try even if they made that claim.

some people are happy with a Dacia

others like a Rolls Royce

both do the same thing - one exceptionally better than the other

Personally, I've seen very little useful innovation in brushes in at least 10 years, maybe there is some crazy new brush on the market that's more efficient or hard wearing? I doubt it though.

The constructor brush is just like all the other reach-it products - overly and unnecessarily complicated and too expensive.

Flocked bristles, light and hard wearing stock, fits on the end of yer pole - shoots out water. That's all you need from a brush.

Bad analogy.

A RR is a luxury item. A brush is a tool of the trade: it needs to be functional and cost effective, not so for a luxury motor.

I might be wrong here but I have a feeling the prices shown are actually much less than they used to be  .

When I 1st came across them they had a disclaimer right on their homepage (not there last time I looked) basically saying you had to use the brush in exactly the way they described to achieve the results they were claiming. I mean just how many complaints would you have had to have received to make you put a creviat on the advert for the product your selling!

And they're never, ever going to get spiders nests out the corners of lower sash windows!! They 'may' be ok for walls of glass but no good as domestic brushes. You don't need Michael Fish to tell you it's raining!!

[Smudger]

Ok you can see what I’m driving at but hey ho I’ll give you this

You can use a SILVERLINE. Micrometer or use the most accurate Mitutoyo micrometer

Both do a job - one is ok for jobbing work, ok build quality may last a year not overly easy to use or accurate the other - acurate to .0001” easy to use, last a lifetime produces perfect measurements/results

Hope this is ok

To appreciate the benefits of using it reach-it brushes which improve the speed of cleaning windows it's no good using 5mm internal pole hose and 6mm internal microbore hose otherwise you will be running your pump flat out draining the battery and still not have a decent flow of water.
I use a lightweight flat hose which has a 10mm internal hose with 12mm external hose on my electric hose reel. I use 8mm internal pole hose with 10mm external on every pole, this gives ample water to appreciate a high flow of water running a pump on a setting of 64 on a flow controller.
Bristles on Radial brushes are so compact it prevents the water running down through the bristles, it sits above the row of bristles and runs around the curved part of the brush when slightly tilted at an angle meaning a non broken surface tension to the edge of the window frame even when rubber seals repel the water using other brushes. Cleaning hydrophobic glass is a joy using these brushes. The brushes are built to last much longer than anything else and doesn't deform, value for money in the long run.

  how do they cope with hot water i did look at the one with pads on the inside witch i thought was a grate idea having the option of diffenent pads only things that put me off was the high water flow and waight of the brush

[Smudger]

If I were still on the tools I would buy one

Not worth it for staff
