Just wondering if anyone has tried (or is using) this combination together, and whether the Unger S-Channel Plus will fit on a Ettore Contour Pro+ handle?
Anyone tried it? Or know if the channel will fit in the handle plate grip?
Any general thoughts about either the Contour Pro+ handle (perhaps your favourite channel-handle combination) in general are welcome.
Any general thoughts about either the Unger S-Channel Plus (with dog earing) handle (perhaps your experience with detailing reduction and effect on window frames compared to Moerman Liquidators) in general are welcome as well.
The Contour Pro + handle is my favourite! No problem with deep frames anymore. Itās a quality handle!
Havenāt tried the S-Plus Channel. But the channel will fit the handle. (They make the handle in 2 sizes. One for standard channels and one for super channels). The only thing is that you have to know that this handle has no teeth. So if your channel is made for a teeth handle - make a dent in the channel and use clips.
Iām pretty sure the channel doesnāt need teeth. Didnāt know the Contour Pro+ came in two different sizes. Wonder if one will fit my Sorbo channels? Do you know if the Super System size will take a Sorbo?
Thinking of a Liquidator 2.0 and Contour Pro+ combination, as seen here:
Heās (Julian Pierce) very happy with the combo. Are you Jonathan Bengtsson? If you are I really appreciate your heads up with what I was thinking of, with the toothed plate modification to see if it would work better with the Liquidator.
Are you able to take a digital picture (and post it here) of where exactly you insert the Unger plastic end clips into the Liquidator 2.0 to hold the rubber? Thanks.

The channel doesnt āneed teethā but the s channels rely on two teeth on the handle to hold the rubber in place. The contour handle doesnt have them so you would need to use the unger end clips, but Iām not sure that they would fit in the dog eared channel.
So you would need to find a way to secure the rubber in the channel.
My workhorse is my Sorbochannels on the Ettore Contour Pro + handle. So yes - itās working just fine! But be sure to get right handle to right channel.
I have tried once to change to that teeth plate, but it didnāt work with the liquidatorchannels.
The liquidatorchannels are a bit wider then the Ettore channels, so the plate broke loose from the handle.
But a liquidator channel on a standard Contour Pro + handle is great! Recommend it!
Bob Hat (PolznBlades) is using paper clips for end plugs (clips) for the Liquidator channel. He sayās it works perfectly (holds it tight = no movement of rubber).
When you say: āsuper channelsā you mean the Super System thick channels similar to the width of Sorbo, correct? The suppliers of Ettore brand equipment here in New Zealand are Advance Cleaning Supplies, but the people behind the desk are certainly not window cleaners, and I may need to do some explaining to make sure they get the right one, and donāt mess up the order (last time I was there they didnāt have the Contour Pro+ in stock but said they could order from their main wharehouse in Auckland).
Will probably buy both sizes. One for my Sorboās, and a couple or more, for Liquidatorās and other brand channels. And get a few paper clips cut to size for Liquidator end clips.
Hi. Iām in Dunedin and the Advance people down here are ??? Probably less knowledgeable than your lot. Let me know if you have any success with the Contour handles. Dunedin claims āunavailableā so be careful they donāt supply the standard plastic one.
Wait a minute. I just realized, thatās not the Contour Pro+ (just a Pro+). Hey Iām sorry. I think your right it might not be available in NZ right now. As usual, have to order from overseas to get any descent gear.
Christchurch Cleaning Supplies contact phone (03) 366 7288 have Ettore Contour Pro+ handles in stock, now. Approx. $59.00 GST Inc. Itās the standard channel version, not the wide body Super System version. Give them a call.
Iām waiting to the 20th to buy some gear.

Your welcome. Could have used one today actually. Was closing out on the bottom of some pretty deep silled frames (in training for Liquidator already) with my Sorbo, and was pretty tough on my wrists at the end of the day. That spring loaded action would have taken a lot of the stress off my wrist.

What a pleasant surprise. Overnight courier, impressed with the professional packaging and instruction sheet. Nice feel to the handle. I will test with interestā¦
Used it today on a couple of my monthly car sales showrooms. Loaded with a 14" Liquidator 2. Although somewhat heavier than what Iām used to the overall balance is excellent. I really like the spring action, particularly at close out on deep frames and/or other obstacles. Was pleasantly surprised when it turned up in a professionally printed box with a sheet of instructions. I really like it and feel that itās money well spent. The one caveat is I have no idea how that ātensionerā is supposed to work as in any position the āspringinessā felt identical.
Great to here! Itās a super handle.
Iāve been thinking about that tensioner too.
Had problems with the angle when using the liquidator? The channel was firm in the handle?
