The eco trolley is ok but the pumps fail after about 1000-1200 hours use and there £120-£130 to replace with VAT and delivery

No Poor customer service plus there are better products out there i have a 36ft pole from them and its rubish but i only need it once a month for some flats.
Gardiners for poles
Purefreedom for hose reel and tank

Wouldn't go near um with a barge pole ;D
-
Won't be using them again......ever!

You could go grey - or even die on hold listening to c**p music.
2 weeks ago Monday ordered a replacement 14LT DI vessel to match existing one.
Still not arrived.
How come Brodex don't even have one of their own DI vessels.
Never again.

Got my 1st system of them 7 yrs ago, i aired my disgust at their bad customer service (which all their custys seem to have experienced) and i got barred from shopping with them....lol.
7 yrs on, never ever used them again, it seems their products are pretty much 2nd rate too!

Im going to be looking for a wfp van system in the next few months. Who is the best to go to?

If if was you i would be looking at the cleaning warehouse (wolverhampton) their systems are well priced and good!
Customer service is excellent too ;)

Spot on, good advice, and it's advice I took. We saved a small fortune doing DIY, and I know intimately how my system works; and it works just as good as any fitted system.
And whatever system you buy, it'll go wrong at some stage, and you'll need to know how it works to fix it.
Gardiner's Poles are the 'forces favourites' too.

Never ever Brodex. Full of empty promises and very bad customer service. I am suprised they make any money as the majority of people on here do not rate them and always push Gardiners and Pure Freedom. They are who I would push too.

Phone Brodex up tomorrow, Cancel your order, demand a refund and ring up Gardiners & order a slx - simples ;)
-
I had thought about doing just that, however my plan now is to wait for the hydra 36 for the occasional high job, and order the slx 25 for town houses or maybe as my main pole, I guess its fair to say I knew what to expect from Brodex, still a little frustrating though.
-
well i would like to say it was a split decision but it apears brodex arnt the best after all ,,i have to be carefull cos im 2 months in to a 3 year guarantee ,and to be fair ive not had any probs so far , but i just had this gut feeling that after sales wasnt as good as stated ,it apears i could be right ,i hope im not .......watch this space ,,,,,anyway im only a newbie and ive now created a hot topic ;D ;D i might ask if anyone has anything nice to say about brodex and see where that gets me ,,,its only fair i supose :-\

Er no. They just want your money

i got a text off them yesterday brodex are moving to KNOWSLEY on monday!!
i find the other wfp window cleaners near me have never even heard of gardiners and buy all their gear from brodex.poles,systems etc.
to be fair their systems look great but a tad expensive for me.i dont reckon much to their poles though compared to gardiners.too heavy and cumbersome with a long closed length.

well the thing is he probably had a well meaning friend who said they were great, if he knew nothing about wfp then prob trusted his mates advice...
As I did and thats why I worked with a trolley for 18 months! #ROLLY EYES
