The reel came today and now waiting on my 25' pole. I can take a photo of both reels when I fit this one today. One reel will have 130m's of hose and the other will have 100m's of hose. If I find I can run with only 100m's then I will reduce the first reel. I don't use the same reel, I swap over halfway through my list of work that day.
These reels come with a winding handle that can be attached when they fail to work.
Will see how they go but first impressions are good.
How does having 2 electric reels when your a one man band make you quicker unless you've perfected a way of cleaning with 2 poles at the same time.! One of the reels is going to sit there redundant , and why on earth dont you have a manual reel as a back up and then just order another electric reel when the other one packs in. Given that several on here are saying the PF reel lasts for years, you could well find out its outlasted you if you become unfit to work, what a waste of money that would have been. Im all for having a few spares but thats just nuts.
I agree....he throws money at equipment that he doesn't need and tries to convince us it's gonna make him more money.
My reel in 9 years old now. Still going strong 💪
I don’t believe a word he writes.
He’s got a ‘mate’ for advice or help in every scenario, that he has just happened to see that day! It’s all just made up IMO.
We’re all different and none of us are perfect, but Scottish is a different level.
Hopefully he’ll find another, or return to advising on another forum.

Personally I think wfp window cleaning has matured. Most things have been invented and tweaked for the regular,average window cleaner. It would be interesting if there was a way of installing a decent hot water system in an electric van as that is the next step forward we need going into the 2030s IMO.
Window cleaning is at saturation point where I work these days. So many new companies starting up and lots are actually franchise businesses. Real business minded people are getting into it. I even see billboards advertising window cleaning!
I see that trailer/board under the bridge every time I head that way, wonder if they get many enquiries from it?
I wouldn’t say it’s saturated, there’s plenty of startups about but that’s been the case for the last 10 years, I certainly wouldn’t want to be starting out today but my phones never been busier with new enquiries as these last few weeks.
Not many of the startups last anyway. I can count on one hand the amount of business that work my area that have lasted 10 years or more.
