Hi stu - I am in the process of ordering one as i have heard they are very good and great value for money against some of the more expensive companies.
Thanks Robbie- Clearshine-Harrogate

Stuart I've got one from Gardiners OMG its a beast totally different from the 30' pole, much bigger to handle very much heavier I'm not a weakling but I needed help to get it up (no jokes please ;D)

Ps I'll say again  :o OMG  :o :P

I think you will have to go a long way to find a 38' pole as good as ionics, in lightness ,value and in terms of them coming with a monofilamant brush head.

Mine cost £235.00, you just cant beat it

It weighs in at an estimated 6.05 kg and that is the 40' residential , which is actually 37' 6"

A 40' ergolite is only just lighter at 5.25 kg and that is £923.95 + vat

Gardiners website says the 38' resi weighs 6.4kg, I have just weighed mine its 6.5kg & 7.1kg with a 12' vikan brush

Why a vikan brush ?

Do you want to give your customers spots ?

How much did you pay Chris

I paid just over £200 with vat & delivery and it came with the vikan was not my choice but will soon be trying a monofilament brush I think, I just want one with fan spray nozzles I prefer them to pencil jets

Nothing wrong with Vikan brushes in the right hands Dave,
ive tried a monofilament brush and i still wouldnt swap it for any of my Vikans!

The biggest advantage is you do not have to lift off too rinse
