Just added the SIX 35 to our collection, along with extensions 8, 9 and 10 to take it to 48ft ....... the extra sections only come out once each month.
Wow, what a lovely pole.
Top marks Gardiner; your CLOTHES poles are fine but it's SLX all the way now; thank you.

Not clothes poles; bloody auto correct!!!!
CLX poles!!!

Personally i would struggle with a pole working at that height , I now prefer the Xtreme a lot easier to manage and far less fatigue on the and strain on the shoulders .

Totally agree, anything over a SLX25 working at an angle or a SLX30 working straight in front is about as high as you would want to be working with an SLX.

Yep I finding that, shoulders aching 😂
Mike how are your shoulders now?

Since 3 visits to the Pyhsio and switching to Xtreme 22 with an Xtreme brush much much better hardly any trouble at all just a case of remembering to adjust my technique instead of my old habits .

Like I said I only work at the full length of the pole plus extensions one day each month; the rest of the time it's a bog standard SLX 35.
I'm not a kid of 25 and feel aches and pains like any 47 year old but really lads, 30ft maximum????
I guess going to the gym five times a week like I have been for around 10 years now is keeping me fitter than I thought ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

SLX-35 very whippy fully extended, God knows what it's like with extensions :o
-
I use slx30 for my everyday pole and at full extension it is as rigid as anything. Not sure why a slx 35 would be very whippy at full extension. I have a facelift hybrid 35. That is the worst and whippiest pole in the world .it is a joke of a pole compared.

My SLX 30 is far from rigid when fully extended.

I purchased an SLX 35, changed to an extreme 35 before even using it, just having the SLX fully extended it seems too whippy, happy with the extreme though, I'm just about to purchase the extensions as I'm still a bit short on a couple of jobs.

With an SLX over 30ft cleaning over an extension roof for example would be a real pain , Cleaning large commercial glass as MLS Cleaner does might be ok but its still whippy pole in comparision to an Xtreme the difference between an SLX and Xtreme is probably the same difference between a CLX and SLX .

my super max47 compact pole is a propa bannah at full strech but its not what ide call heavy, my m8 has a xtel 45 with steel gose neck and old stile vikan brick on the end now thats a beast ;D

There is quite a large price difference between a carbon pole and a hybrid. I would personally cut off hybrid poles at 30ft due to whippiness, but a lot of window cleaners are more than happy to use a relatively inexpensive pole and be able to reach windows at that height than buy a far more expensive pole that may perform better but may not get that much use.
