No, it doesn't stay wet for as long, but once you get used to flipping the pad down and get quicker with the Wagtail you'll see the speed more than makes up for the water holding issue. 
When fanning, a small rotation of the wrist turns the fanning angle automatically instead of actually turning the whole of your hand and arm angle, and having that squeegee instantly right there saves loads of time.
Give it a few days use and it'll grow on you.  It does seem a bit cheap and weak at first sight, but when using that turns into light and nimble.

hi,
good videos.

is this you?
or someone you know.

i am wfp myself, using wagtail to save time on the odd downstairs windows; doors; insides etc.

IN video shows ideal windows being cleaned this way i.e upvc flat glass windows, but must be ladders out for georegian and leaded windows?

thanks for link very intresting.
