Wait till you try the large rinse bar or six jets!
I'm sure you will hate it
then change your mind
and eventually love it
before you hate it again
 ;D ;D

Still think you should have tried the xtreme wide daz, so much lighter. You’d have got it done 12 minutes 28 seconds faster.

Me too!
Nothing worse than turning up on a warm day, top sash windows open and nobody home.
Try pushing those closed with the pole?!!   (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1565194735_cry.gif)

At least you've a chance with the top of the top sash windows - when they leave the bottom one open you're stuffed!

Problem with the bottom sash windows being slightly open is you don't always notice it (unless you stand a long way back). I've sprayed water into a customers bedroom before now because of this ....

Thats why you need six jets daz, my £50 houses are cleaned within half hour and that's without going to the gym 😁

Especially when they have thick ivy and  other plant life growing so you can't see from the ground floor. 
Well atleast in my experience when I did it 😢.   Clean the top and moved down towards the bottom window and I was met with no obstruction and the brush went through as the window was up. Thankfully the tap on the hip was extremely valuable to turn it off in a heart beat as all panic went off in the house............... It was only the room where they collected antique furniture in. Thankfully there were in to dry what little water went in, and I was able to turn the flow off quickly before any real damage was caused. 
Lol now I make sure before I turn the water on
