SLX-25 Gardiner pole is a great all-rounder imo. I do mostly domestic stuff and its the only pole I tend to use. I've got a Slx35 but thats only for a block of flats I do.

I initially bought Clx18 but found it was to small for most over the conny jobs and some windows over a roof, so bought the Slx25, it does everything really well and found the greater rigidity (it being carbon fibre) far better for the longer reach jobs or just general day to day use, easier on the muscles without the flex I found. Use it for ground floor... everything ;D. You won't be disappointed

we have a CLX 22 and an SLX 35.  CLX does 95% of domestic jobs.

i agree with the others here that if you want just one pole an SLX 25 will do you fine for domestics.
