I use it and like it.
The swivel is rubbish but the squeegee itself is very good, strong, practical and nice to work with.
It's basically pre dog eared so very little, if any detailing is needed.
If your buying it for its swivel capabilities then forget it and get a wagtail.

Hi, I bought it to try & found it OK for genaaral fanning of medium to large windows but for smaller domestic that I like to use downward or vertical swipes to cumbersome. I found that the channel securing bracket on the underside protrudes to far out hitting the frame  stopping the rubber getting to the end of the glass.

By turning the screw on the channel releasing clip clockwise to tighten you can use Ettore or Unger stainless steel channels as I have in the past.
I prefer the Ettore handle though.

Hi, Was out this morning so thought I would use the Ninja again as was cleaning some large windows. As well as the  negatives in my previous post I can add a couple more.  I was finding that the channel securing bracket was rubbing on my fore finger due to it protruding to far out of the handle. Secondly to create an angle on the Ninja you have to depress a button on the handle which is cumbersome.

I think the rubber securing  clips on the channel are just a gimmick & are in fact a backward step on the channel/rubber securing bracket that is  fail safe & has been serving us for many decades.

My thought is to go for the latest Ettore  handles which are proven.

Thanks for the input I've managed to get hold of one to use for the day tomorrow so I'll see how I get on with it.

Pre dog eared? No it's not, it's got clips on the end to hold the rubber, they certainly aren't in the least dog eared!! I've had the new one for a long while and it's rubbish, it's all absolute marketing crap!

Get the new liquidator - that actually is pre dog eared and angled for the corners of windows,

The ninja is terrible, utter rubbish!

Bought one last year, use it for the shower walls now. Like fanning with a lead weight. Clumpy and crap.
Only my opinion.  :)
No still don't understand, I must be thick

I have a 22inch ninja I use for retail work which i like.
It has a real strong and quality feel to it for large glass not sure what it's like a shorter lengths.
