Much the same on here, we are a Team trying to help each other, the more we help each other the better we get. Saw this in the fire service, we may not like someone but we would help them.
About my Xtreme, I will be buying a new 25' and a few top section spares so I always have a spare 25' when it breaks. It means I don't need to struggle with my 22' until I get it fixed. My plan is a spare pole so I don't need to hang around waiting. Then on a Sunday or raining day I can fix the broken pole.
Going to buy another PF SS electric reel in next few weeks. Mighty impressed with the new one I bought 6 weeks ago.
By the time your electric reel stops working, in 10 to 15 years, then there will be another model that's much better than the replacement your going ti buy the now.
Makes absolutely no sense at all buying a spare electric hose reel incase one breaks. Why wouldnt you jusy buy the motor for them incase it needs changed.
You planning on buying 2 vans instead of the 1 next time incase one breaks too?

I don’t take on this type of work but if I did would want atleast 3 x my daily window cleaning rate to make it worthwhile.
Stop undervaluing your time.
Unless you have done it before, you dont realise just how hard a days work it is.
Looks like a piece of p1ss when you get your first one to do. After a couple of hours your thinking what the phuck have I done.
After I done one of them ive never physically scrapped another. I just spray it with algo clear pro one year. Then when its all fallen off by the next summer I respray it again as the moss would have stopped the tiles from getting saturated the first time.

« Last post by NBwcs on Today at 10:32:22 am »I know i'm preaching to the converted, but have to say i'm quite surprised at how robust the extreme actually is. (already regretting typing that, bound to break tomorrow). I have a 18 foot one for everyday use, been using it for 13 months thus far, and ive dropped it so many time and held my breath, but its still going strong, and still plenty of clamp adjustment room left. I used xline nanos for a while and chose them over the extreme because of price and the multiple reviews on here saying how fragile the extreme is. The price difference between the two is much less these days especially as you no longer get a free brush with xline. Theres not much wrong with the nano but my next pole will be another extreme for sure.

You can just stop posting if you want.
It'd be a shame if you left as you normally contribute and assist other window cleaners on here.
But give it some consideration.
If you want to delete your profile go into your profile settings and work from there.
