Does anyone know how to clear a Dragonfly spray jet.
I bought one ant it sprays, then when you release, it dribbles out loads of water, i tried blowing through it, now its made it worse.

I had the same problem, It turned out the charger was faulty.
I assumed I was charging it but nothing was happening, instead it was just getting weaker and weaker until it finaly packed in.
Once I got the charger fixed (replaced for 20 odd quid :( ) Its been fine since.

I think dragonfly is ideal for maintenance cleans.
However as a first time clean or jobs that are either irregular or get very dirty they are not great.
It took us a long while to work out the best way of achieving good results but once you have them mastered they are a superb tool.
If the glass is clean and you are just removing a month of dust and the odd fingerprint then they are ace. I did a job today which used to take me 45 minutes trad, today it only took 15 mins.
We recently did a new high level job which took 4 times as long using dragonfly than it would have by hand. (but I didn't have to hire any access equipment) but next month it will be easy and still no extra equipment.
If you have the right jobs then I think they are a good tool in your arsenal. Mine has won me jobs due to being able to price keen by not needing to hire equipment, and then makes me good money by doing the jobs quickly.
i guess the "proof is in the pudding" and I have had no complaints.

I bought one of these too.
It hasn't earned its keep yet because I don't have a great deal of work for it at height. Most of my office internal window cleans are reachable with a short pole. I had bought the Vikan Easyshine initially to see if the method was OK. Quality is variable but good enough on maintenance cleans so long as the pads are changed fairly frequently and very little water is used. What a time saver though. I have a quarterly internal (low level) clean. It take me two and a bit hours instead of the five or six it used to take. Really useful too for when paper work/files etc are stacked on sills as I no longer have to move them to avoid getting liquid on them.
Having tried both products, I will say that the head on the Dragonfly is superior to the Vikan Easyshine offering. It's easier to work with - especially when working at unusual angles. In fact, I usually remove the head from the Dragonly and use it on a short pole for low level stuff.
Bright sunlight can show up the results but, with care, it can usually be good enough.
