If so what's your take on them?

Wow! I thought there would have been a few but no takers so far. Think I'll stick to what I know!

I had a mess around with one the other day , nice pole tbh but as long as they cost more than an slx I won’t be buying one
The quick release on it is bang on though , I might even go so far as to say better than Quick~Lok

I like the clamp design meaning that when it’s used at an angle downstairs the pole can’t spin,there’s never really an issue with extreme poles slipping on top windows but it can be on downstairs windows.
I’ve just got another extreme 22 and you do have to do the clamps up quiet tight to stop this happening on ground floor windows,with this pole I don’t think this would be an issue I nearly got one to try be interested if this is the case.

When they bring out a swivel goose neck I may consider one but not a fixed one

I have often thought that an oval  pole would be a good idea regarding spinning and for added strength, so I'm glad someone brought one out.  I will definitely be looking at one of these in the future depending on reviews. At the moment I don't need a new pole so wont be one of the guinea pigs.

In your opinion how rigid would you say they are comparing them to Gardiner poles ? Are they heavier or about the same weight?

I am going to try the shorter 1 either 17-25 I find that working at angles on bottom windows and the pole not being able to spin the main seller for me,doesn’t matter what other pole you buy they will all start spinning and need adjusting over time.
I’m not to bothered about a pole having a bit of flex up to 20ft or so,a whippy pole  at about 30ft is far more difficult to cope with.
I have an extreme 35ft and it’s very bendy imo although it’s only 10ft more than a 25fy extreme it doesn’t feel like it’s from the same stable of poles.
