Ninja squeegee. is it worth it in terms of time saving and cost?
-
Utter waste of money. Full stop.
All it is, is Unger trying to find a way to get you to buy something new that does exactly the same as the old by making it look a bit more flashy and using the 'in' term 'aircarft grade aliminum'. We're talking about a 10" or 12" or 14" etc bit of metal that doesn't suffer high degrees of stress not something at the edge of endurance.
Plus, if you buy the squegee, you have buy the ninja bucket thingy as the squeegee won't go in any other Unger boab. Not only that, it has the word 'ninja' written down the side in big white letters. What has 'NINJA' got to do with window cleaning? What are we, 1st dan window cleaning?
Also, it doesn't seem to fit properly in the boab and is arkward to use when using the 'ninja' boab anyway.
For me, it was a lesson in how to waste money and look a right pillock at the same time.
I've gone back to using the ergo tech stuff I used before I wasted hard earned dosh on believing the hype.
Quicker and better, nope. Not at all. More efficient and all that, you've got to be kidding. It's a squeegee and nothing else.

A solution to a problem that nobody knew existed...

I got sucked in, can't say there's any benefit really. To be honest I have a cheep old orange piece of junk that I've been using for ages with a nice hard rubber on it rather than the super soft one on the Ninja, and it's often easier to use ;D
I was under the impression that using the Ninja would mean no ladders, but as yet I've not figured out the whole Ninja levitation thing ::)

I bought a 16" and a 24" got the BOAB as well total £50+, i hated it!
The clips kept coming loose and the BOAB tipped forward all the time and i ended up
wet through, replaced the clips on both blades but lasted about half a day then same problem!
Anyway, i got intouch with unger uk and they told me to return to the supplier
for a full refund ;D
Cost me about £5 postage but better than loosing £50+
BIG Thanks to the guys at Unger :D

I bought one from the cleaning show. I went back to my ergo tech stuff after a day or 2.
I was well impressed with the ninja until I started to use it.
-
there WFP stuff is excellent though :-X
