Yet another great video Ash!I will be buying this, Watching this from my holiday in Greece btw ..

[@aemackintosh]

Have a great time!😎👍🏼

@@aemackintosh Do you know when the "Power pad" will be available to order?

[@aemackintosh]

Not sure. It has been available this week at a show in Berlin and it should be available at the usual places too.

[@koristusmeistrid]

I also own a power pad and also wish that unger could ask more specialist that work in the field about their opinion, this product could be better.

[@aemackintosh]

It’s such a shame because it’s well made, but it just doesn’t work that well.

[@germanavilan7005]

Woow every body is moving out and getting the best stuff but You are right the tool works IF.....!!!!! there is not frames to clean but unfortunately all has I got one of those from another Australian Designer REACH-it It calls G-FORCE PRO with 8 different Pads so far there is not near to replace the brushes any bristles fits any corner of any dirty window thanks as always sharing your videos will see what is the next ....!!!

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks for your comments. I hope there will be more variety of pad options for this.👍🏼

[@andycole5816]

Hello Ashley I think you should be part of the Unger design and development team with your knowledge and experience. They have used you in Holland and Coventry expo to show there water fed pole systems

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks. Yes I think they should get more help from people actually on the tools.😉👍🏼

[@lmgtube6587]

Hey mate very nice video!! can you make a patio cleaning set up video just like the roof cleaning set up you did, would love to see it. Keep up the good work

[@aemackintosh]

All the details about the equipment I use is now in my training courses: www.aemackintosh-onlinetraining.com/collections

[@dhoek]

I think for glass only its okay. The rinse can take dirty from the frame on the glass. Dirty frames are always the problem when you use wfp. I ordered one and i will see if it really works.

[@aemackintosh]

Yeah this can’t really clean the frames. Good for large panels of glass.👍🏼

[@dhoek]

@@aemackintosh they better made rectangle, some places on the glass , you can't reach

いつも有益な情報を発信していただき、ありがとうございます。

[@nigelrickard1667]

They are great for large windows that dont have frames , possibly solar panels

[@aemackintosh]

Yeah. I hope they do a wider variety of pads to help with more stubborn dirt.

[@aldoberman]

enfin un peu de nouveauté !!

[@aemackintosh]

😎👍🏼

[@bdawgydawg83]

Hi... Been watching your vids for a while now, and really appreciate what you do, pls keep them coming. Just wondering, how do you schedule your window cleaning work with the bigger jobs? Don't they push you back when it comes to getting round your regular work?

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks! Yeah what’ve someone who helps me to do my regular round so I can fit in other stuff.👍🏼

[@davey2767]

They have done a good job with the product, but i do traditional at min and eventually when i get into water fed i’d use the brush its gets in all the nuts and crannys of the frames etc

[@funrover90]

Where can I buy one in the UK?

[@aemackintosh]

It should be available from the usual places.👍🏼

[@Robert-ij9ih]

Reminds me of the Wagtail Wave 😊👍 Copycats those Germans

[@Aaaaaa-pf4kj]

I was thinking that as well.

[@aemackintosh]

There’s only so many ways you can make a swivel I suppose.😆

[@Robert-ij9ih]

@@aemackintosh don’t get me wrong, why do it the hard way when you can do easy ✌️☺️ The Unger Ninja handle is actually Sörbos design.. perhaps he’s not that happy about it. But they benefit each other

[@simonhobbs7713]

You are the daddy of gutter and windows just like Fred dibnah daddy of chimneys I do it for a living and still learning off you keep the videos coming

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks for your comments! Glad you find the channel useful.👍🏼

[@AllaNetWork]

Should be good for solar panels cleaning.

[@aemackintosh]

Yeah, I feel like it needs a more aggressive but non abrasive pad though.👍🏼

[@craigsees73]

Willie brought the Wagtail Wave to the market place years ago . Nothing new here!

[@rocknrollrebel84]

What's it like on Solar panels? Or is that a bad idea?

[@aemackintosh]

You would need a different type of scrubby pad for solars l think.

[@olsenbrotherswindowcleaning]

How does this compare to the wagtail wave and the reach-it g-force?

[@aemackintosh]

They’re all very similar.

[@diamondback2085]

So my main take away is this is maintenance for comercial only. Still good

[@aemackintosh]

Large panes of glass are probably best for this.👍🏼

[@CoyleWindowCleaning]

I should imagine better for larger windows with less frame Ashley.

[@aemackintosh]

Yes indeed.👍🏼

[@jimmyevans2965]

Be good for solar panels

[@aemackintosh]

The pad is not good enough for solar panels.

[@tess_ticklz]

Seems like it would be a better product for indoor cleaning - but outdoor use... looks like it will scratch easily.

[@aemackintosh]

The constant flow of water helps to reduce the risk of scratching.

[@dacomponents]

Good video Ash , but it’s a copy off the G-Force imhon

[@aemackintosh]

Thanks.👍🏼

[@michaelwebster9166]

Looks inadequate for frames and sills to me Ashley…. Or am I missing something 🤔

[@aemackintosh]

Yeah, not great for frames. Better on glass with no frames.

[@diamondback2085]

My supplier just got them in qnd hoping gor a good review. Unger never lets me douwn buy its a new product rught

[@aemackintosh]

Definitely always a great quality product.👍🏼

[@longlivefreedom9853]

Unger are not going to make the first one perfect are they ,,,, because if they did that they would not be able to put out version 2 ,, version 3 etc ....

[@aemackintosh]

That’s true.😆

[@torceacatalin5456]

This tool,same wave and G force ,are for comercial facade ,no frame ...work on frame job but bit harder ...where is best ...on alucobond with melamine ,and bronze pad on very dirty glass

[@aemackintosh]

Yeah, I hope Unger start doing a wide range of different pads for it.👍🏼

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

Perfect tool for scratching........ get a bit of grit in those pads and..... need I say more

[@aemackintosh]

The constant flow of water helps.

[@evgilliand]

Scratching 🤔 same thing been said about the original Wagtail Wave since day one a number of years ago now. … NO it’s not an issue as water is constantly flowing over and through the pad… (just don’t rest it against raw brick or on gravel between windows 🤷‍♂️)the refined version of the Wave is the Reach-it GeForce… much more durable and the angled ends are there for a reason… it’s makes it EASIER to get into the corner of large glass panes. And also with white or grey pads on that tool scratching is a non issue. These aren’t everyday tools… large frameless commercial or glass balustrades and large glass panes on modern homes… there are more sensible choices for bulky frames and smaller glass. This tool is not revolutionary because at least the two mentioned precede it and DIY guys have been experimenting with similar ideas for a few years now, but it appears well constructed using high quality plastic mouldings and an Aluminium extrusion. The velcro strips on the base are much tidier and easier to replace than the godawful self adhesive velcro that currently is used on these tools. …and no it would be problematic for indoor use, very difficult to control water overrun.

[@aemackintosh]

It had more cleaning power than I expected actually, but I would like to see a wider range of different pads.

[@evgilliand]

@@aemackintosh The issue we have when we try a new tool for the first time is that we compare to what we are used to… whereas we need to simply judge it for what the manufacturer designed it for… going back to the original concept of the Wagtail Wave… microfibre pad only and worked fine but is improved if you swap out for the white scrub pad… Byron Guests much improved design (Reach-it GeForce) really shines when using with of his scrub pads (white and grey) … this Unger one shows real potential (although I believe they’ve fallen short with the handle angle) BUT price is excellent and it shouldn’t be roo difficult to add different pad types.

[@grahambeadle5809]

Looks like more drag and friction between pad and glass compared to fibre bristles. Another pointless gimmick id say trying to use the indoor systems for outside. But yes your right Ashley, ask the experts first. . the ones with decades of experience.

[@aran7teen]

Seems pointless to me. I can’t think of any situation where id have my wfp in my hand and think of going back to the van to get this tool out. And, if I was inside, I’d opt for trad tools all day, not risking spraying water everywhere 😅

[@aemackintosh]

Yeah, I think there will be commercial contractors with staff that don’t want to be trained to use a Trad tool when it could be easier to just give them this instead.🤷🏻‍♂️
