If you use any other make or manufacturer, please leave a short reply with the model you use!

Slx 22/25 but looking for a change maybe facelift 22 with a unger brush.

Following others isn't always the best option  ;)

Looking forward to the cleaning show next year  ;D ;D

Gardiner's Xtreme naturally  :)

I was trying out a new prototype pole yesterday whilst on my day's round which was a good bit heavier than the Xtreme range and it was a relief to get back to the Xtremes.

Facelift original carbon poles as main domestic pole as the clamps are much quicker and slides better. Commercial SL2 & extreme slx.

We have a facelift phoenix x for soft washing. Can't seem to see if there is a aluminium goose neck for this pole?
The angle neck that came is a load of shiite and always bends and gives way even though it's tight.

xtreme poles for all my work (25 footer and 47 footer.)

ive tried all the rest and nothing comes close to using xtremes day in/day out.much easier working days for sure.

everything else including slx poles feel like lead after getting used to the xtremes.

surely you guys can get £500 together for an xtreme 25 footer for your everyday work.if not you need to work a bit harder or put your prices up.PREFERABLY BOTH! ;D ;D

thats what ive done over the last few years and using the xtremes as well has helped a lot in keeping on top of my workload with minimum strain.

when you get the money together BUY ONE!you wont regret it lads at all.

best wishes to you all

For me it's not so much not affording it, as it is justifying it, plus the wife would go mad! My facelift poles are very light, so justifying the extra 500 quid on an xtreme for a slightly lighter pole is a bit naughty! If they were cheaper then I'd say 'why not' but half a grand for a pole? When the poles I have are more than adequate, no chance, I've not got that kind of money to spend, rather put the money towards a nice holiday, we're off to New York in March - now that can be justified... ;)
