  I tried the 100%  Fans last year, couldn't get on with them, i tried different flow rates  to no avail,
  i couldn't find a sweet spot with the spray, it was all over the place, plus i noticed spotting at the top of
  the glass, i much prefer the 50% red fans.

Cleaned my own windows and a neighbours today with this new sill brush....its basically the same as a standard xtreme brush but with 2 rows of extra bristles at the bottom of the stock.....

First impressions....I like it....I have a lot of upper windows on the side of houses to clean next week with limited space....this brush will help to catch the sills as well as the glass....fantastically light compared to a standard sill brush.....I've also fitted the brush bumpers too.....👍
price higher/work harder!

This brush will also be great for skylights(no changing angle of brush)...👍

I found that already , normally it’s a pole down and put angle to 90* job and pole back up....not anymore !

used it all day today with a carbon gooseneck......great! :)

the angle is always right whether its down the side of a conny,cleaning a skylight or cleaning an upper window in a tight space due to the extra 2 rows of bristles at the bottom of the brush......thumbs up from me...... :)

its only marginally heavier than the standard xtreme brush but more versatile......only thing is i dont like the brush bumpers so took them off after an hour this morning....

Daz did you find them sticking to the brickwork an causing drag ?
Perhaps a harder grade of plastic might be better , doesn’t overly bother me though .

Did you find it stiffer though Daz ?

i found the bumpers working  loose after a while,catching them on things.....i could glue them on i suppose but i dont see i need for them tbh.....ive never used them on any brush before.....

ive got a newer stiff version of the ultimate brush too(all red bristles)...personally i think they are stiffer than other stiff brushes alex used to sell......probably trying to stop them from going out of shape and increase longevity....hot water certainly kills brushes prematurely.........

Stopped using the cill brush until my jets arrive so gave the new medium xtreme with the tapered inner bristles a whirl today.
Very nice brush too.
Think I need a good clear out  ;D

how many brushes do you think you have lying around dave?i must have close to 30!loads of heavy brushes which will never get used,most of them SL or old sill brushes and a few heavy xline brushes(although the flocked i use for cleaning the van)......

Not that many!  ;D
Sold on the Xlines (good but heavy)
One or two Superlights, never use them.
Couple of Supremes, really don’t like them at all.
Cill brushes, used on roofs.
Dupont Ultimate (great brush)
One or two knackered Xtremes.

For me, I found the bristles too long, the angle of splay wrong and the brush too heavy for it’s size. I found they lifted the lead off leaded windows.
Only my observations, obviously others would love them.

That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw it !
Fantastic coverage  , but a huge splay of bristles that needs a thick stock to accommodate them , great for large plate glass no doubt .
