I seen that video Peter and I think it looks very interesting, how high does the pole go in the first sequence and what's it made of, any idea on prices?

I meant I wouldn't mind seeing a video of a guy or girl cleaning the same place trad in 2mins 15 secs and looking so calm and collected.

Sorry for the misunderstanding Simon,

The pole is 24 foot but put in sections can be added to go higher.  The price including Autobrush and hose is £159.50.

It is the same pole in both parts of the clip.

I overdone they windows a bit to stop people moaning about doing them too fast.

Peter may well have 'overdone' the windows (I kinda guessed that too, after those last comments he had!)
But there ain't many who could still do the front of a house that fast trad...the front of a house in just over 2 minutes?
Done trad?.....I don't think so!

Well done on the pole Peter, it looks very good, and very quick in operation, if fitted with a smaller, lightweight brush there would be less flex in the pole too...it looks good though, it'll be interesting to read the feedback from users...

That's not a bad price and also a good length.  I've never used the autobrush.  How much does the pole weigh on its own and can you put other brushes on it?

The pole on it's own is 1.5kg, The heaviest brush I have used with it is the Salmon Autobrush the one that comes as standard with my system.  The pole is that light that the brush can make quite a difference to the overall weight of the pole and brush.  The pole will probably go up faster with a heavier brush, and there would not be much flex as you are going straight up as opposed to lifting the pole with the brush still on the ground.

Even a slow window cleaner could do the upstairs windows allowing 40sec for each, downstairs could be done in 20secs and the door in 10secs. And that is being really slugish!!!

Foxman, I was no slow coach at cleaning windows traditionally myself, but at the end of the working day I like to have some energy left for my wife and kids.  We have been through all this in the last couple of years with Squeaky and it gets quite boring.  This post is not about ladders verses poles it's about What's new.  No doubt you will be on here some time in the future giving advice to water fed pole newbies.

Pete, Didn't mean to Hijack a post, just making a comment. Sometimes it's quicker using a squeegee, thats all. I've been WFP'ing for nearly 10 years so know the benifits and disadvantages.

No problem.

Would you use a squeegee on they houses?

The Autobrush can also be bought on it's own, the price is £69.00 + £3.50 deliver and VAT, and can be paid for on my site, on the Autobrush page.  Yes it will fit on the Ionics pole, it would come with the plastic angle joint that would screw on to the brush.  If ordering online state that it is for the Ionics pole in the comments box.
