Only thing I think they might be good for is insides & inside conny roofs etc..
But are you ever gonna get enough of these jobs to justify the outlay?

I reckon they would work well on internal conservitory roofs after soaping up,pity though an extended handle is not included :-\

I bought one last year for doing internal conservatory roofs. It's the one that is yellow in colour.

Utter and complete waste of money.

It didn't get off all the water off and the battery hardly lasts anytime after the first few charges.

Plus it's awkward to use upside down as it were.

Jook is the expert on these and seemed to have it down to a fine art. Had replaced the rubbers with Ungers and was doing the inside of shopping centres with them.

Why would any window cleaner need this... It's made for the home owner who can't clean glass properly.. Don't waste your money if thinking of buying it.
