i have a constructor brush, no not used it in the winter so  sorry can't answer your question but i cant see why it would not operate as good as any other brush on the market, time will tell.
It is a bit weighty and i do tend to revert back to other brushes now and then, especially if the pole will be fully extended over a conny or extension for instance but i always go back to the constructor brush because i really believe it's the  best brush for cleaning amongst the brushes i have, so i probably clean 90% of my daily work with the constructor.
I have changed the bristle layout to suit myself, which is one of the benefits of this brush you can buy different bristle packs and "construct" your own brush.
The biggest drawback for me is the "cannons" on the top they tended to get knocked and lost in the early days, i have modified it slightly and this problem as gone.........i do believe he is in the process of replacing the cannons with a solid bar and this can be retrofitted............The cost was about £130 incl postage, i had a mad moment and bought it :)
At last! A civil,and informative post to my question.

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.
[/quote

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......

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.

It all comes down to "have you tried it in your business" if not, then your guessing. I have a reach it pro (original) and reach-it mini ( original clamps on both ) BOOM..... just saying lol

It doesn't, it comes down to am I experienced and savvy enough to know by sight what is a positive step forward or not- most UK experienced wfp'ers are not easily misled nor are they prepared to throw their money down the drain. Like I said, if this constructor brush was a significant enough step forward then the forums would be plastered with positive reviews and we would all be buying one- neither are actually happening and that coupled with what I have seen and read online tells me more than I need to know. ;)

Seeing and hearing is believing I guess.... let me know when you have tried one.... hey dont shoot me down but your wrong to dismiss something you aint used... just saying
All i asked was has anyone used the constructor brush through a British winter. Fair question. Lee did you pay for your constructor brush?(Be Honest). You seem very over invested to defend perry's corner. One more question. Is it free to be in your magazine?

1) I was correcting some incorrect facts in your post.
2) Nope, re paying for Constructor brush but I paid in full for the Mini and Pro which was over a grand when they first came out.
3) See answer 1.
4) Do you want to be in the magazine? What does it matter if its free or not? ooooohhh I get it.... no - people dont pay me to say nice things if that's what you meant. Infact the Magazine is heavily subsidised in money and time by me and High Shine. And its free for you to read. Nice.
5) After this post, I knew the first customer in the UK, what better person to ask than somebody using these products 4+ years down the line. ( idea for mag article) 

 ;D ;D ;D ;D
Why did you feel the need to tell me your equipment cost over a grand? (Irrelevant). I asked if the brush was free. Can we all stick to the point. BOOM! I MADE THIS!!

I have a Contructor brush,I've had it three months and I really like it,I've broken one cannon and that was my fault.Its an expensive brush but imo it's worth the money,on average it's saving me 30/45 mins per day.

Sorry to ask , but how is it saving you 30/45 mins a day? This must be based on your using another brush, but how do you quantify a large time saving such as this Julian?

BTW, whats a cannon? Do you use it without water?

It saves me 30-45 because it's not like a conventional brush,on a regular clean you can scrub and rinse at the same time,I'm only going over the glass once,when you add that up over a day then it's saving me a lot of time. The Cannons are like little jets that sit on top of the brush.

With this brush can you have the cannons turned off whilst rinsing with jets or do they both have to run at the same time?

You can have the middle rinse bar /jets running,you can have both running or you can have either running independently of the other.

Thank you. I'll probably get one in a couple of weeks.

 I've seen a vid apparently Perry is selling off his old stock like that brush as now has listened to users saying those top jets get broken off to easy so has change them to a different design.
