Well when I think of the Gardiners Superlight poles I use for about £100 each then it looks very reasonable to be honest. The tubes are 30% carbon so a bit more bendy I would imagine. The whole package doesn't look too badly priced.
The vac is quite a lump but has plenty of power.

I need a a new one! They do look good for the money but need people to say they are good before i buy!
I don't think I'll ever go above 20ft and I won't be using it so the bend won't be too much of a prob, can't justify more expensive poles really.

Dont waist your money guys, These poles won't last long, buy Gardines. they are the best in a long run. and for the vacuum, its too big to move around.

Them poles are aluminium tho, and the vac is only 1400W.

I want a 3000W vac and carbon fibre poles or at least part carbon fibre.

Vac is slightly cheaper here..

http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products/Product.asp?ID=7518

Those poles in the link above look a pain to do up and undo, does any do a pole with a clamp that can be tightened like a wfp clamp?

Defo get a 3000w i still need ladders sometimes and i had 1400w and 1800w got rid straight away. Also i'd get 50mm tubes and 50mm hose. You can also get http://carbonfibretubes.co.uk/ to make you carbon fibre pole in 50mm 2metre lenghts minimum of 5 i think around £300 phone and ask cause a lot of others have done this. :)

don't choose your vac on wattage alone , you need to find out the suction specs for the vac -

suction power in millibars and the airflow per minute .

these are more important than wattage .

the nilfisk has good suction for its wattage and matches some 2400 watt vacs.

if you are doing just domestics it is ideal .

;D nothing like a morning workout.

Just thought I'd put a video on showing how easy carbon is over alloy poles as people finding it hard when choosing the right poles on here. These are part carbon gutter suckers and work great but full carbon can only be better, alloy poles are very difficult at times we had a set few years ago and nearly killed me because of there weight. 
That was at 25ft reach so for those buying pole sets get 25ft minimum or you may find yourself short over big connies.
