Unless anyone is talking about how light it is I wouldn’t give it a look all their poles have always been too heavy for my liking.

I would look at Gardiners poles much better and reasonably priced

Better getting a Gardiner pole, tried and tested. The only negative is that they use FedEx as their chosen courier, the only courier company who can’t give a time slot and their tracking software is absolute pants.

Ionic’s systems have the looks and lines of a Rolls Royce or Ferrari,the poles have all the finesse and lines of a toilet bowl.

You have a point with Ionics. They are one of the longest water fed pole manufacturers. You would think their poles carbon poles would be the most advanced top of the game kit available. After all the pole no matter what water delivery system you have is the business end of the system.

Why are you messing about with other manufacturers poles rather than gardiners?

Why are you asking such a newbie question when you ve been window cleaning for years?😄👍

It's a shame no one has tested the new ionics poles, they may be brilliant or rubbish ,how do you find out unless someone uses one .  All comments so far have been based on previous experiences with Ionics.

That’s a fair comment but the selling point of them is not weight so you just know although the brushes have been made lighter due to less bristles they will still be heavy,the unique part is the fact that the brushes have an end tail which clips into a Rectus type fitting for quick brush changes in the gooseneck apart from a few new stickers they’ll be heavy m8.

They have the most beautiful looking systems they need to concentrate energy into pole weight now you can’t improve on perfection with the systems,apart from pure water the pole is next in line for improvements always imo as well as the brush design they need to forget everything and think less weight.

I fancied a change and got an Ova for a spare it’s a bit like going back to an old girlfriend it’s never the same or what you expect I’m afraid.

I dont get why you want 'a change' from gardiner poles?

No other poles are as light and rigid as the xtreme and their customer service is xtremely good!😅

Theres absolutely nothing better/easier than using an xtreme pole all day as a wfp window cleaner...
