if they are town houses it must be rough were you live! :o ;D
I would go with the clx 27
-
cheers so clx 27 no chance that a 22 would reach those top windows , im 6"4ish tall,
-
dont know mate take a tape measure with you next time you do that job, extend your 31' pole to 22' and see if it reaches.
-
my clx22 reaches modern 3 storey but better to have the extra few foot and buy the clx27

& just as good in my eye's Avo. Fitts well in my van & does 3 storie houses not a problem ;) ive had an slx, so i can judge them both ;D

Get the 27, that way you have extra reach

I have an SLX30 and an SLX22. (not the latest extreme jobbies, but 2007 and 2010 versions.
On a run of 5 off 1960's town houses I use the SLX 30 at the front, doing all the tops only - the ground drops away a bit and it lets me stand well back, work over cars etc. Then I drop a section to make it a 25ft and do all middles and bottoms and then all the backs where I stand a bit closer and the ground rises a couple of feet.
But if there are two of us working I do all the front tops and my man Dan uses the SLX22 to finish the fronts while I do the backs.
But some very modern three storey jobbies and an SLX22 is fine.
If you had an SLX30 then I would just drop a section - can you do that with your present pole?

Would you say it's better and if you never had both poles which one would you buy?

For reference the X-tel Hybrid 27ft is 10cm longer when closed than an SL-X30ft when closed so the SL-X should fit into the van more easily ;D - full details below:
X-Tel Hybrid27 - 1.80m long closed - 6 sections - 8.40m long - Handle Diameter 42mm - Weight 2.38kg
SL-X30ft - 1.70m long closed - 6 sections - 9.00m long - Handle Diameter 37mm - Weight 1.70kg

The SL-X30 is naturally more expensive by £69 (+brush cost) as it is a full carbon pole - so it is not really fair to the Hybrid to compare it on specification. A fairer performance comparison to the X-Tel Hybrid would be the CL-X27 which is even shorter when closed at 1.55m
-
like i said ive used both & for ne the winner is the X-Tel Hybrid27 ;)
feels great to use & just the right weight for me.
so no need to try & bring yet another pole into it as i still aint interested & like what i like ;D
but thanks any way ;D

which is £150 + vat and as i have used the clx and the streamline i would defo reccomend the clx.
And im not one of the embarrassing sicophants may i add!
Much like my musical tastes i like some songs by a band but other songs by the same band i dont like.
I judge each product for what it is no matter who its made by.

hey pure clean..leave that weed alone! ;D

I would advise using slx 30
You need to stand back when doing the top floor town house windows, otherwise you will get neck problems, plus as other guy said, you can work pole over cars on driveways etc, or in my case I can do top windows and still be standing outside of the front metal gates, means if I'm doing two neighbours, no faffing about, can walk pole without having to leave one garden and get in to another.

its true didnt think about cars and things in front was hoping to get away with the lighter 22 foot clx maybe best to get the 27 footer or even a 30 foot slx and finally be done with my old extel battle axe had it for ages.
for the record the only brand ill be getting is gardiners ive been very pleased with my 18 clx it must be 18 months old now still going strong
