Great effort for the publicity but not really practical

Not practical in the slightest.

Cleaning seven storey work  was a pain in the backside trying to pick the ideal day with no wind about, but at that height there is still a breeze even on the calmest days. Too strenuous and dangerous for my liking working at that height. I don't mind do 50ft every month but no higher.
It's impractical to clean at that Guiness record even if someone was above guiding the brush head as it doesn't exert enough pressure and to put a heavy 45 brush on is ludricous.

Utter bollox, I broke my SLX27 this week (see my thread) and the one I have been kindly given to use pre new one arriving is a lot bigger than that but I don't need three mates to help (which is good as I don't have three).

Nice that they show the water whilst the 'super pole' was horizontal.

How are use newbies going to get on the commercial stuff if we can't afford such a beast.

Looks like I will have to resign myself to my little round.

They managed a couple of windows...😳
Had 6 to get it up??
Had a rope tied on end and a cherry picker.
Hardly window cleaning is it.
