Constructor Brush??
« on: August 13, 2016, 02:26:23 pm »
Quick question: Has anyone used this brush through a British winter? Perry being a Aussie probably hasn't considered our climate is different to Australia. And window vents with a overflow brush can cause problems too.

I doubt Perry would even consider the British market when it came to designing product. His market share is so small here that he doesn't even feature as a competitor in the wfp market.

Who is going to pay that money for a brush that's that heavy?

The idea of choosing bristles and layout is an interesting concept but I'm inclined to agree with you. Its too heavy and too expensive. It could be the best cleaning brush in the world, but it will not be that much better than a Gardiner brush for example.

The other option is to buy 3 different brushes from Gardeners, a flocked one, a stiff one and a medium mixed and swap them as you need. With quicklok its easy to do and the overall cost is much less. The brushes are also lighter.

Tony, the op suggested that the climate in Oz is different to ours. I'm not sure how that makes a difference. I read once of the experiences of a window cleaner in Cyprus using wfp. He had to spray each window to cool it first before he could successfully clean it. If he didn't then the water evaporated before it had time to flush the dirt away. I don't see that having a constructor brush would be any different to any other brush in that country. Fan jets may help but that's about it.

Besides that, his main market is the US, which has weather easily as varied as the UK.

It's doomed anyway- perry is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist!! Like the wagtail wfp thingy, like the OSHA thingy, like most of Unger's wfp past offerings- the list goes on. ;D

Wagga made a couple of vids a while back on the constructor brush and seemed to like it for it's strubbing power etc.
Not sure if he is still using them though as gets given loads of stuff to try.  Hence why his reviews seem all slightly bias towards the  suppliers as you would do.

Bob Hatt Polzn Bladz complained about Moerman rubber on one of his YouTube videos. Moerman saw this and called him up, then they invited him over to Belgium. They asked if he could help them improve some of their products... that lead into the Liquidator... it sold really well and the rest is history. Believe it or not the Liquidator has made a lot of money and sold a lot of units from nowhere they have become 3rd biggest sellers in front of Wagtail!

I think Chris likes to put a positive spin on everything which is a nice quality he has, but I know if he was not happy with something he would not film it...... take that how you want to :)

Perry is from New Zealand, he lived in Australia for a few years and now lives in Nimbo, China. His products sell very well in the US market and Canada as well as the rest of the world with hot climates to harsh cold ones. The UK can be a messy, complaining bunch and distributors from other countries get a hard time sometimes....  there is a Reach-iT resistance in the UK that like the products...infact there is more love for Reach-iT in the UK than the 'small poppy syndrome' brigade would lead you to believe.
Perry is not active in marketing the UK......

Just a thought..... the Constructor brush is super light, its mid section is a light aluminum.... the end sections can be replaced for 3.00 quid.... with any other brush you would have to replace the whole brush. Just saying :)

It really is worth trying first. There's not a lot of weight in it at all between the brushes I use.

WHAT!! ???  :o  DON'T  THINK SO ::)roll.
Have designed a totally different unique movement  that may be out about this time next year.
Able to hold just about any squeegee channel on the market.
Keeps same pressure on the channel which ever way you swivel it.
No need to dogear or have clips on the channels.

Just use what ever squeegee channel with any type of rubber. ;D

In all your videos with yourself/staff you are always using Gardiners products. Usually clx poles. :)

Like the rest of us Gardiners just seem to offer the best quality for the price.

Perrys gear (from what I've seen and heard) is expensive and not as hard wearing. Even in waggas videos he tries to be positive but you can see his reach it pole has to be clamped a few inches down from the preferred position because the carbon is too worn to grip. 

The U.K. Window cleaners put equipment through the hardest conditions I'd say. Getting used day in day out, cleaning many homes per day, extending pole/descending.
