First day out with mine today. Not to impressed tbh.
The rinse bar itself is good, but the bar is held in place by 2 plastic inserts, which themselves have a small jet hole each. These 2 jets spray water all over the place, one is squirting water at a funny angle, the other is slightly fanning the water.
I have now filled in these 2 end holes with gorilla glue, so I get a nice even spray with the bar. Only problem with this is I have a more narrow rinse angle.
Another gripe is that it now doesn't feel as solid on the glass as the usual xline brush. The brush splays to much, due the fact some of the inner bristles have been removed to fit the rinse bar.
Will play with it some more though before I fully make up my mind.

Would be interested to hear how you get on with yours, especially if your 2 end jets are as bad as mine.

I thought the idea of a bar was interesting but didn't look so good in their video.

I have a couple of their brushes and always seem to go back to them just seem a great all round brush.

To give it some credit, it does use less water then conventional jets. I actually had to turn my flow down from 40 to 25 as it was blasting out.
You get the same rinse on a lower flow with this as you would with 2 jet normal jets on a higher flow.

It looked like the 2 end jets were  fairly straight on the video to me.

They are on the video, that's why I bought the brush!

The end jets on both my brush and the lad that works for me were jetting straight...Loads quicker rinsing  ;)

quicker than what though ? how do you normally rinse,  i tend to rinse on the glass anyway  would it speed that up ?
