Title: Is the Wagtail as good as they say it is???
Post by: NJWindowCleaning on May 29, 2010, 09:39:35 pm

I am thinking of purchasing a wagtail flipper and i wonder is it as good as they say it is or is just a sales ploy?

They're brilliant. Worth every penny. Get the angle adapter too :)

Angle adapter a must for pole work. It's now my preferred squeegee. Go for a flipper or if you're doing dirtier work - the Whirlwind, it'll shift the grime better. I use a whole variety of squeegee's but if I had one choice this would be the one I would go for.

They do look pretty dreadful - very cheap and tacky like something from a Betterware magazine. However they are expensive and work very well. I didn't rate the flipper much but have found the whirlwind much better.
