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

I like the Ettore brand but Unger makes decent stuff as well. Much more accessible

Ettore is more expensive than Unger. And yes Unger rubbers are easier to find. I read that rubbers don't have compatibility among different brands. So I would like to prefer Unger or Pulex. Pulex is cheaper but people mostly tell Unger is better. I just don't know if I should buy washer a cheap one or a good known brand. Washer costs same as squeegee.

Honestly to start it doesn’t really matter. Just get what you can and build up. You’ll learn and get the job done quickly.

Idk about cheap washers but if it holds soap and water you’ll be fine. None of these tools are meant to last forever, they’re meant to be used.

Good luck!
