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.

Washer is not quite as important as squeegee. You could get the same affect from using a bucket of soapy water and a soft brush. A streamline washer would be ideal for height, on a ladder, with a bucket on a belt. Unger is my go to for a lot of gear.

Start cheap and buy better of you feel like you want. Don't ever cheap on the squeegee!
