I have never used fan jets, I am a great believer in "if it ain't broken don't fix it", I get great results wth pencils so pencils it is then. ;D

i have both  i have an extreme wid ewith fan jets and a cill with pencils,

i find the pencils use to much water for my like, nearly double what the jets do,    i have gone back to my fans,  and will keep the pencils for first cleans,

am going to try fans in my cill brush to see if that makes any difference

went from 1mm pencils to 90 deg fans.

Thought i'd give the pencils a try the other day .... 2 windows and i changed back to the fans.

I think the pencils will be better for first cleans as you really do need more water to get them right first time. But for regular cleans its fans for me

I dont think either are better, it's down to personal preference, and also your motives for using them.

I started using them to save water, but I also find that I can rince quicker than I could with pencils, but if you have a large tank and only 1 person running from it, then pencil jets on high to full flow will rinse just a quick.

The fans will be available as a push fit upgrade, on any gardiners brush from what I read on there site, search it on the gardiners site
