They are ok but don’t like hot water

Dupont bristles are great when new but overrated in my opinion, not much different to anything else. Look nice but don’t hold their shape any better.

They are OK but I prefer this tbh.

But with regard to brushes the only opinion that matters is yours.

Not tried it but the medium ultimate is a great brush, fairly light and seems to last forever.

We found the bristles were to short and the stock was hitting the raised part of the window frames , also wouldn’t reach under gutters again due tk short bristles.  Nice and lite though

Bristles seem long to me but then the only other brush I use is an extreme.

I just cant get on with big heavy brushes. To me the ultimate is as big as I would want to go.

I have one and its an OK brush.

The one thing I don't like about it is that when transitioning from glass to frame you either have to lift off or bash the frame.

My favorite brush has now become the flocked extreme, its a very easy brush to use and gram for gram it by far outperforms any brush for scrubbing ability.

I am considering cutting off the bottom row of bristles as its a little extra weight and I cant see the benefit, you only have to maneuver the brush sideways for the sills, I've never had a problem with them.

The flocked extreme is a nice brush to use, but after checking a few windows I used it on, I was a bit disappointed. I think the old style extreme hybrid cleans better (not tried the new version).

Would be interested to try the ultimate dupont, but just bought too many brushes lately.
