I know they are big and heavy but still great value imo.

Yep they are a brute of a pole, but for the little I use it I can put up with that, and it will last forever.

i paid £400 for a slx 30 and a brush,i would rather pay £500 for a slx 30 than waste £100 odd on a brodex that will be heavy and not last 5 minutes!

Post by: Bay View WCS on January 31, 2012, 08:38:10 pm: I ordered one on Friday.

I needed a pole of this length for some odd jobs I need to do. I did look at the SLX35 but I couldn't justify that expense at the moment given the few times it will be used.

A friend of mine got the same pole from Brodex last year when they were on offer. It is a heavy beast and to be honest he has had to fix it a couple of times- but then, I don't think he has looked after it that well.

I won't even keep it in the van- just take it with me on the occasions needed.

But all things considered, for £136 delivered with brush and pole hose I think it's a real bargain.

Title: Re: brodex bargain
Post by: wpclean on February 01, 2012, 12:03:33 am: I hate Brodex after sales, but the pole in question is bullet proof ! I use it a several times a month, and it has paid for itself many times over.
It is still going after two years all the parts still work perfectly.

Would I pay for the dearer alternatives promoted on here ? . . . . . No
