Title: Is this worth the price?
Post by: Mike Halliday on December 15, 2019, 07:31:46 pm

Saw this on a local selling group, not got a great deal of knowledge of WFPs, is this worth what he is asking?

It's not what I would call a bargain really Mike. £450 maybe?

Ionics Poles arnt particularly good Gardiners Poles are much better , if you are only going to use it occasionally  it would be ok make the guy an offer if it’s something you want

I wouldn’t go near it mike.

Heavy, bendy, pants poles.

Had two ionics glider poles years ago bought second hand, hated them as soon as I got slx poles I sold them on.

Thanks for the answers, I think I will give it a miss.

My primary use would be cleaning facias & soffits so it needs a bit of stiffness

If using it for fascias etc , I would defo recommend going for the lightest pole possible as you are going higher than windows and you’ll feel it on your shoulders halfway through the job

the only pole worth using for f/s/g cleans is a 25ft xtreme pole with an xtreme brush....anything else will be too heavy and bendy.......

you dont need anything that heavy and long for FSG for average sized houses.

Like Daz says, for similar money you could buy a new extreme 25 which will be a far superior pole for the job, but even something such as an slx 25 will be lighter to work with than that.
