Has anybody tried this, if so was it worth buying?

It's appalling! This is the worst window cleaning tool I have ever come across! Seriously don't go near it, it's totally unfit for purpose!

They are definitely worth having if you have the right sort of work for them.  Not so good on 1st cleans but mostly fine on regular maintenance cleans.  Must have plenty of spare pads, change them frequently and use as little water as possible (or less).

Yes, used it a few times but difficult to use and get a decent finish

Ok for stuff cleaned weekly where there are no hand marks

Now sits under a pile of other rubbish in the corner of the unit, look at the cleano which looks a bit better

Ok think ill give it a miss then, Can anybody recommend something good for inside car showrooms, it needs to be able to reach about 14ft, i would use squeegee but its a real pain getting ladders in there.

buy the unger flat head mop, cone and some pads from wintecs , get yourself a 5 metre Harris pole from amazon, drill and self tap the cone onto the Harris pole and off you go, we use these on our commerciasl and they come up great, all you need is a bottle of pure water, it's a very cheap basic version of the easyshine, only good for maintenence cleans, prior to this we use a vice versa or wagtail on the first clean
hope this helps

They do the job. Just finished the interior windows of a school with it and have another one to do next week.
They do take a little while to get used to.

[Smudger]

How many pad did you need to do a school??

I've just been putting them in the washing machine and counted - 22

I find that they work really well on regularly cleaned inside windows that would otherwise need a ladder to reach. I have one in the van that comes out just for a few jobs, but saves a lot of time each time it is used.

I would not recommend for heavily soiled glass that has not been previously cleaned or maintained as it would be quite time consuming.

I find that they really come into their own in an office where I do a quarterly interior clean (in addition to a more frequent exterior clean).  It does show a few smears on the stairwell windows where I spray the pad rather than the glass (due to the height) but apart from that, it looks great.  I agree with the others that little imperfections can show up when scrutinised but this cleaning system has reduced my time on the interior cleaning by 60-70% with little to no sacrifice in quality.  It's fair to say too that it works better on some surfaces than others.  The cheaper plasticy panels are not so good but on the better quality ones it seems to work a lot better.  I have another job where it's generally OK but once every few months I need to blade them.
