Use an slx25' daily, had it since it's original release, must be at least 2 years now. It's had some right abuse & is still going strong!

Best pole on the market, got rid of my facelift carbon as the slx just made it redundant! ;)

Mine is in the July batch, so hopefully can report soon!

the smax I use a couple of tomes a week is a great pole, however, a lot whippier than i expected. I hope the slx30 is a bit stiffer.

Simon, the slx is stiff I can hold it out sideways and clean a window with it  ;) (does hurt the muscles a little but shows how ridgid the pole is.

Good! If it isn't, i dont want it!!! The smax is bendy bendy bendy. Nice and light, and suitable for what I need, just cant use it at any angles, or with any great pressure on the glass.

I wouldn't touch it then 'cos the Smax is virtually identical to the SLX and built from the same materials.
Probably best you buy a harris pole.

I use an slx 25. Can use it almost hoizontally without much bend (bloody rips the muscles though!!). I often wish I had gone for the 30 footer as I find I am on tiptoes and using finger tips on a few jobs, That bit extra would be handy.

I use an Smax at thirty five feet all day long as my only pole. It's the 44foot one but I leave two sections off most of the time.
