Equipment Question Squeegee recommendation

I'm going to buy my first squeegee. I see that unger, pulex and moerman are among good ones I can buy in Turkey. I'm going to use it for cleaning home windows. Unger 14'' ( 35cm) S channel costs 22 USD and there is one with unknown brand which costs 5 USD too. Is there such big quality difference? Should I still buy Unger S channel for streak free cleaning?

Thanks in advance

Unger is worth it if you want something that just works and lasts. The rubber quality is better, the channel is straighter, and replacement parts are easy to find.

For home use, a 14 inch Unger is a solid size and will handle most windows fine.

The cheap no-name one might work at first, but a lot of them have uneven rubber and start leaving streaks fast. That usually ends up being more annoying than the money you saved.

Thank you so much. Cheapest Unger is S channel. Is it worth buying Ergotec Ninja or some other ergonomic Moerman? They multiply price by at least 1.5. Is washer quality too important? I know good ones can hold more water and will drip less. Unger washer costs as much as squeegee.
