saw this on another thread, has anyone seen it yet? What's it made of, is it just a converted fishing pole? Seems a reasonable price with fairly short sections but there are even cheaper fishing poles about (and longer).

Ive held it, it seems alright. It isnt a fishing pole though, it is designed for wc, its made of carbon fibre. I like my Super-lite 2 though! Luke
-
Yes but for a lower level bashabout pole it could be good especially if it's stronger than a fishing pole? The S2 is a little long/ cumbersome for darting around domestics with i find.
-
I dont know about it being stronger than a fishing pole but I do know that the Super-lite is stronger than a fishing pole. I would never use the Emporium for a lower "bashabout" its not suited to that type of thing at all. I dont think fishing or fishing style poles are suited to small-medium domestic at all, just get a smaller telescopic for that or Gardiners carbon telescopics that are coming soon, Luke
ps. I'm 6ft3 so I dont notice lengths of poles so much, when Jeff was round here the other day he was showing me his f16 with a 3ft top section which he needs for doing grounds but because I'm tall I dont really notice if a pole is short or long
-
I will be very interested if the sections are shorter and if it can be used with the gooseneck with carbon fiber insert.
-
Luke, try getting through a flapping side gate on a windy day with around four hundred poundsworth of S2 waggling around in one hand.
-
The sections are shorter on the Emporium but not by much infact its hardly worth mentioning. No gooseneck comes with the Emporium though, Luke
-
Luke do you want to buy another one,i`ve cleaned 2 window`s with mine and put it all together a couple of times 40ft.
-
how much? I could actually do with another, Luke
-
£500 no vat.
-
pricey, I got the introductory offer with my 45ft one! I've got to pay for a body repair bill after a small accident though so I think I will give it a miss. It would be nice for both of us to be on the Super-lites though! Luke
-
Just added the link to the origional question because its the 18 footer i meant to ask about.
-
Well I dont know anything about that pole but I would never ever buy a modular carbon pole for 18ft work, if its telescopic then yes. I am aware that Emporium are soon to release telescopics, Luke
-
I don't use anything but modular - not a problem for me.
-
What size is your N01 top section Dave ?
-
??? I have the Reload for everyday and the superlight 2 for best. I think they are around five feet but the Reload top section would be shorter than the S2.

hi guys ,
just to clarify , our new Econ 18ft modular pole , its a very strong stiff modular pole designed for every day use,
it is a carbon fibre mix but has the strength to take on everyday use and still keep cost down, we have made it in shorter 3 ft sections , which is a more manageable size and gives more flexabilty with the different heights needed for the modern window cleaner that will use it on a daily basis
we supply it with a short extender and a free jetted bently brush for the first two weeks ,
any questions just email us or call ,
thanks

just ordered the 18ft economy , £75.00 delivered including brush and plastic crank , thats got to be a a great deal , i already have a 50ft cf prototype and its proved to be very good they alsomsaid it will be deliverd on tuesday and they will text me to let me know its been sent , so the service is also very good , they are developing a 24 and 30 ft telescopic and are about 4 to 6 weeks away from being able to supply these , i was going to buy the xtel hybrid but think i will wait for theres to be ready , will let you know what its like once i,ve used it .
