Need to replace my extreme 22 not shore wether to try a different brand
Boss high mod
Xline nano
Or stick with extreme 🤔
-
Stick with the extreme. Better the devil you know.
If any of the others were noticeably lighter and demonstrably as durable then I'd give it a go.
-
I'd go with an xline nano....its slightly heavier than an xtreme but still a lot lighter than an slx and more durable
-
Extreme all the way.
I get two years out of mine then replace.
-
Nano is a stronger pole and will last longer.
But the xtreme is the better pole if that isn't a concern.
-
How many years do you get out of the nano pole i get 2 years out of my extreme in that 2 years i replace sections 1 and 2
-
If you do a lot of work in tight spaces ie windows alleyways or like to clean from the side the Ova pole would suit you better because they don’t spin.

My main Xtreme pole was lasting me 12 months,sometimes even less before snapping a section or two...I must be fairly heavy handed....also the insulation tape at the bottom of the sections kept getting chewed up...I hate it with a passion...
I've not had a single problem with the nano,I've only had to flush it out once or twice in 6 months.it was also £150 cheaper than the equivalent Xtreme pole as I got mine in a sale...
-
I do luv extreme but there are a few niggles
Glued clamps
Section tape
Black hands
If xline did a 22ft that would be a no brainer but the 25ft is just that bit heaver wether ide really feel it is another question 🤔

I've had my 18ft nano for 18 months.now and havnt changed anything on it yet (apart from the end caps} . Its. Only 30g heavier than an extreme. I'd be horrified if I'd had to change 2.sections in that time, that works out ridiculously expensive.
Sounds like Triggers broom.

Hey Dasmond, do Gardiners Brush's fit the Nano pole, or is some modification needed.

I use the gardiner goosenecks and brushes on my nano pole mate.the only thing is you won't be able to use the gardiner plastic scraper due to the different clamps
-
That wouldn't bother me as hot water beats the scraper think im guna order the xline sounds like a nice pole

Ive had my extreme 25 a year and its battered.
I snapped section 2 a few weeks ago to add to section 1 that went after a month lol
It looks 3 years old, its a great pole though.
Ive had a nano 18 since last nov, its wearing a lot better but then its not been used nearly as much. 3 things annoyed me with the nano. 1, its not as smooth to extend as the xtreme it has to be pulled out, secondly the clamps aren`t as nice to use. Now it has freed off a bit and as im getting used to the clamps its a lot more tolerable. But the one thing that drives me nuts is if you extend the sections fully them Jam. I have to bang the bottom section on the floor to collapse it, now if im carefull not to fully extend its fine but it always happens once or twice a day and its really annoying. Given that the extreme is in such bad shape after a year i might get a nano 25 to replace it when black friday rolls around again, will see if the 18 grows on me first.
