No's 6, 7,8 and possibly 9 if on a steep slope down from building or awkward access.

25 foot is the highest i go with an SLX pole....

any higher then its an xtreme 47....

 SLX poles are heavy and very bendy when you get past 25 ft

I've got 2 extra sections I add to my 25ft SLX which takes it around 34ft I suppose?
To be honest that's as high as I would go with an SLX as you do notice it bending at full length especially if you're reaching across an extension or a conservatory to clean a window.

your not wrong mate!i used to have a 40 SUPERMAX(older version).it was basically a 40ft SLX.I sold it to deege (on here) as it was a nightmare for cleaning solar panels/skylights on 2 storey roofs(too bendy and heavy).ok for straight up windows but nowhere near as easy to use as an xtreme pole though......

I have an SLX 35 and it's usable in light to no wind, just.

30ft I'd say is the max for an SLX to do a good job.

Having said that and having used a similar length (extended length which is shorter than their advertised extended length) Ionics and Facelift poles, the SLX at the same height beats them hands down.
