Been using a 25ft Mk2 since last August - brilliant. 

The Mk3 looks even better and excellent value too.

They look good. A reasonable price as I paid 400 for the mk1 slx 25. Far cheaper than anything close to it. Hopefully they have got rid of the problems that some seem to be having with it. I won't be getting one just yet as my mk1 slx 25 is still going strong 2 years on, but it's good to know that the design is always improving.

have they come down a little bit in price?  25foot £254.00 seems a good price seem to remmember a bill of around 500 for the mk1 incl brush and delivery

dont count on it, I was fgoing to buy 1 of the sl2 and a slx biggest of both no discount, shame as would have used him for supplies aswell.

next time I order a pole I will try again and see what happens  ;D,

i'm shocked no others have bought out a same sort pole with no supply issues, seems wfp suppliers are sitting pretty for now. :o

i believe there are several company's buying blank tubes from the same manufacturer like ionics brodex , Alex has a different manufacturer, i spent some time looking into and calling company's for carbon tubes i found a couple the sent me some samples and i looked at make in my own prototype, but i found it time consuming and costly trying different carbon tube with texture and different thickness, i also found it a issue with getting a different clamp to fit, so its not easy to design and test different ones to come up with a good pole let alone the cost of development stages, so i would say Alex is on the right track, then there is the fact we are all bust people cleaning away who's got the time to try develop a pole, i don't think some understand what company's go through developing a new pole for the market

My Smax comes back tomorrow - yippeee.

It seemed to be wearing far too fast on the first section. Alex had a look and has fitted a new one as it was a bit oval in diameter. Top quality customer service as always and done over the bank holiday weekend too. I'm sure if some of the moaners on this could speak to Alex they would get their problems sorted very quickly.

Yes, it's the same as it has been for a few weeks, you can choose your pole and brush, hose ect. but there's no add to shopping cart button.

another pole addict,  so its not just me, a universal that came with system, ive had a couple of old style extender,  class xtel,  a hybrid,  brodex carbon,  brodex prolong,  ionics carbon,  then another hybrid,  then a slx35,  then a slx22,  that's without some diy modular poles

only use the two slx poles now.
