Pencil jets for all poles bar a fascia brush and pole, fans are to sloppy IMO could be dodgy fans as only tried them on one pole and put me right off

I use fan jets all the time,better and quicker for rinseing on both types off glass,I just can't get on with pencil jets as they seem to take ages rinseing on windows that bead,fan jets however need more attention especially on the top part of the window when rinseing but can get perfect results with a bit of practice,I find they save water and give a proper rinse on both type of windows,I have a tap on my hose connected to my belt that saves even more water.
Pencil and fan jets are a preverence thing but I can't get on with the pencil ones ;)

No,
I started with pencil jets and fan jets were recommended to me and the first time I started using them I was hooked!

If you need to work at speed, then fans rinse on, high flow and hot.

If you've got all day, pencils.

I have fan jets in Vikan brushes and the water does not get in contact with the bristles in any way when rinseing.

From the comments on here Easy you do need both types
although the poll is a landslide towards the pencil jet im suprised that alot use fan jets
maybe like me EASYCLEANER you should give them a go it might change your mind   :P
