The Moerman Excelerator, a combination tool with pivotal and fixed options.

Regarding speed that all depends who is using it I suppose.

That is true. From what Bob is saying in the film, apparently it is due to where the pivot is centered and at what degree it travels over the glass.... that assists in the speed of the individual window cleaner, of course this would be limited to their skill, but the impression I get is that it assists all skill levels in cleaning glass quicker than say using a fixed type, for example.

Looks like a lot of thought has gone into that design so I might just get one to try.

Regarding the scrubbing pad see that it has clips so to attach the pad to the squeegee channel??
So does this mean you can only use there scrubbing pads??

OK so we are talking about how fast swivel type squeegees are.
But the fact is that any tool you use is only as good as the driver so to speak.
Now that it appears we starting get manufactures making there own swivel squeegee versions.
Window cleaning shows always have speed events using a standard 12 inch squeegee.
So what about starting speed event using any 12 inch swivel type squeegee??
And include DIY swivel squeegees as well.

It won't be that fast - you'll have to go back over the window afterwards with a proper one. If it's anything like the liquidator rubbish.

I thought it was Ernie.

I have tried all these combination tools over the years.
The worst ones are the flip over types like this new moerman one.
The main reason the are useless IMO is when it comes to stubborn bird crap, you just have to keep rubbing n rubbing n rubbing til it comes away, you can't get any real pressure onto the applicator to give it a good scrub, unlike a normal applicator with the scrubber on the sides that remove the stubborn stuff a lot faster.
The best and fastest combination squeegee ever on the market was Peter Fogwills Squeegee Mates, the way you fitted this onto squeegee allowed you to apply pressure in removing stubborn marks, pity he stopped making them years ago as I am down to my last 12" inch one :(

But for insides of customers houses this could be oreet

All theyve got to do now is stop it leaving lines everytime you go back across the glass regardless of what blade you use.

i find it a lot quicker using a scraper on bird crap its suprizing how slow u are scrubing it with the edge of the mop also i think the fliper squeegees are beta on big windows (shops) ect, i find its quicker and easer to use a small mop and have a 14inch and a 6 inch in a holster on standerd houses the fliper can be aquad on these
