Difficult to tell without actually trying it out but my initial thoughts seeing the first picture was that the side bristles are gonna be touching the brickwork on alot of windows.

Ugh!

Does make me chuckle what some try selling adapted for wfp. Looks even worse than that hyped up turbo jet brush.
Chris what an earth would want to use it for?

I think it looks OK.
Gardiners brushes are great but they are too fragile IMO. I'd happily sacrifice a bit of weight for some longevity. 600g+ is probably a bit excessive though.

The Wedge is proving very popular, users are seeing a far bigger cleaning area and protecting the customers property for some of the main uses. We just got a vid from the md one of the UK's bigger domestic window cleaning companies and he's raving about it. He's adding a few to each of his 8 vans. Will post the video later

All the same I'm betting it will not be long before rsi claims start rolling in from employees using that thing especially trying to use them on awkward acute angles at height. ::)roll

Low level facsias and con roofs..

What is going on ? seriously what is going on ? roll eyes.

It's unusable for every day wfp work at that weight - no two ways about it. Foxy you are talking out of your bottom hole as usual and doing any credibility you may have left nae favours at all.!

Do you drop them on burglars' heads.
-
a brush weighing that much is totally impractical for day to day wfp cleaning and even cladding/add on cleaning as its usually harder work than regular window cleaning.
its obvious the people that make these things havent done their research and/or ever worked a few months day in/day out wfp cleaning. ::)roll ;D
i for one wont be buying one for sure! :)

His Vans will be over the weight limit.

Haha! Usual gang commenting, love it!
Saying a brush that is just over 200g over the standard weight as 'unusable' is a pretty uneducated statement. Lot of other factors involved - pole weight, height of cleaning, pole composition, etc relate to the usability and cleaning effectiveness as a whole. Anyone can make a lightweight toothbrush style brush, that takes twice as long to do the job as a heavier one with more surface area/bristles, etc. Is that real efficiency?
Far as I'm aware not one of you guys have used The Wedge...? Am I right?

The Wedge is 585g there are quite a few brushes in the 350g - 400g mark - and for the width (15") over brushes that are a third smaller in size (sill type style) .

Why does your website keep changing the weight of the brush? What is the weight 585g or 645g inc fittings. The weight has changed about 4 times so you must obviously feel the brush is too heavy or you wouldn't keep changing it.
When you talk about 15" brushes you are right they do weigh more because the have a 15"stock, but you brush is not 15", it's 12" so you have to compare it to other 12" brushes.

i suppose for certain jobs(low level cladding cleaning,softwash applications) the wedge might be useful but no way for regular window cleaning jobs reaching over connys/extensions.its far too heavy.
