I don't think this concept is acceptable for mainstream wfp, it won't catch on IMO therefore not worth the investment for R&D, manufacture etc.
Look at the auto-brush, interesting idea but useless in practice. There can be a tendancy to solve problems that are created & don't actually exist in real life.
Dam I missed this when it was being aired.
I must admit I had to laugh at Winp®oClean attitude. I wonder why he even uses a water fed pole? Surely the water fed pole was created to solve a problem that didn't really exist in real life?
With attitudes like that it is a wonder he is still not using a chamois and scrim to clean windows.
The clampless pole is something that will take off in the future, and I have safeguarded my original idea as much as I can. I did invest quite a bit of time and money in the project, and have it all worked out it, just needs putting into place.
BTW Winp®oClean the Autobrush is one of the lightest brushes on the market, even with the valve fitted.
Tim, it is not just about the time taken to loosen and tighten the clamps, it is the time saved putting the pole up, and especially down. The time mounts up over the day, and you would be more likely to save over an hour per day on domestic window cleaning.
