Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

i honestly cant remember the last time a customer said that to me...it was years ago now....

when i first switched i lost around 3 or 4 customers who didnt even give me a chance to use WFP......they point blank refused to have them cleaned with the pole.... ::)roll

most window cleaners have WFP near me now....even the stubborn ones......albeit using glassfibre poles,barrels and trolley systems or backpacks ::)roll ;D...theyll learn.....eventually.....
But maybe someone’s backpack gives a much better ROI than your all singing dancing , diesel guzzling, ego enhancing  system does  :D

its not ego enhancing....if you want the quickest most efficient way of working with as little hassle as possible and a system to last you years and years then you have to pay for it......ive worked with backpacks and barrels,trolleys too....its a crap way to work,ive worked from old vans,ive used gas shower heaters and bottles to heat my water and everything in between......so i know what im talking about......

I disagree... my daughter works with me.  we can either do a house each, or one does the back and one does the front, we both have a back pack.     I have a transfer pump from the tank to fill them ... it takes seconds....then we are away ... no trailing hose..
then when finished just walk back...job done , no reeling in
I don't have to worry about freezing pumps etc, and on very cold days which are very few , I just fill my tank with hot  pure water.
I have only worked, 17 hours this week, and have taken more than that figure you said.





Backpacks have there place but to use one all day every day no way lifting it in and out of the van 40 + times a day no thanks big houses or conservatory’s you would have to fill it up neumouros times totally inaficient way of working

I only use mine if I can't park close to a house or hard access to the back.

Or maybe if my van is off the road for a while I could hire a small van and work from a back pack to keep going.

only someone who uses a backpack for all his work would come out with such nonsense!its far quicker with a hot van mount system.in fact i managed to clean £850 worth of work in 3 days this week so 4 days off...dont go back til next tuesday!just as well as its wet and very windy for the next few days here in the north west! 8)

if i was using a backpack it d take me 5 days! ;D
£850 in 3 days, pfffft 😂
