$249  What?
And here's me just posted that a £39 brush with vat and delivery is pricey!
That would have to be a very, very good brush to pay that much.

At that price it would need to clean the windows while I was still in bed. ;D

That’s reach it for you, always coming up with ridiculous ideas and a poor end result.

Stick to gardiners!

Makes me laugh how everyone knocks these rinse brushes. I have the Lite, the Radial and the Radial Rocker . I won't comment on any of them but I will use them every chance I get over any other brush. Don't ask for my opinions on them, I've just given it!

Mostly outside the U.K. though spruce, most of Perry’s stuff is of a far inferior quality, weight, design and practicality.

To be fair to us U.K. bunch, we’ve got some of the best WFP gear available. From British companies.

Then again we are the window cleaning nation! I don’t think many other country’s can beat us on window cleaning  ;D

You will never ever get a refund from Perry Tait so if you buy something from him just have that in mind when contacting him,when you go down any legal route with him he’s got so many companies within companies under many different names the cost of a brush would end costing you the price of a system.

got to worth the money....

RADIAL BRUSHES are known as 'The $450 an Hour Brush' because of the feedback from customers who brag about the increased efficiency, and the hourly rate they have achieved on premium jobs

The rinse brushes are only going to work if you have a decent flow of water. You won't get enough water using microbore hose or if you connect hoses with fittings that reduce the water flow like EZ snap. 
I use 12 mm flat hose joined to 10mm pole hose fitted a 10mm pneumatic tap/valve to get a decent flow at the brush head to give plenty of rinse so it makes the difference required.
The brushes set up this way give plenty of flow at the brush head. When the brush is turned vertically the rinse ahead of the brush drops to the front of the front row of bristles owing to gravity so it's easy enough to keep the water directed where you want it to go and not above so as to avoid bringing dirt down from above.  In my opinion Reach-it overcome all the problems of the previous versions of the constructor brush thus allowing a quicker and more efficient clean using the technique they recommend.
I was cautious and bought one, the 'Radial' to give it a try,  wasn't getting enough water even with the pump cranked up high so changed the hose and fittings and then noticed the vast difference in water flow which is the key to making this brush perform how it should. Took a while to get use to the technique and now I use it all the time even on windows with vents above as I can avoid putting water near the vents.
Then I bought the 'Lite' version which is much lighter but doesn't have two rows of radial brushes and the bristles are shorter but still a good brush.
There is one fault with the brush which I told Reach-it about is the swivel is set at 15 degrees to allow the brush to remain flat on the glass for perfect agitation which is good for working up close but on the Radial lite with the shorter bristles it really needs a longer gooseneck fitted which I've had to do myself whilst keeping the 15 degree swivel it attaches to for working on windows with deeper sills.

I’ve just watched a a video of him using this corner missing brush lol,that oval shaped brush is the worst shape I’ve used it’s like the Supreme shape couldn’t stand it then.
All the time windows are square that’s what shape the brush should be as long as you are able to clean sills with it at the same time,he spends all him time in Thailand getting this rubbish made for pennies.

Horses for courses - ive never tried one so can't say if thay are good or no, - I loved my tecbuk brushes - many didn't - I have swivels - tried it, didn't like and tbh never really needed them, but many people do

Over engineered product that only has  a chance in cleaning anything on windows similar to huge plate garage showroom type windows,as heavy as hell and he compares his products to Apple because he supplies a pin on a piece of plastic to clean the jets out with that he says never get blocked.
I hear he does a good line in rocking horse crap.
