Not for me! Even if they paid me to have one of their pole I would decline...

Get them to send some araldite rapide as well. Then knock the clamps off and reglue them yourself. This saves any downtime when they recommend this is what you do after a call to their aftercare department.  If it's not too late cancel your order now.

And check that the price they charged to your credit card is the price they quoted. Hope you got the fella's name as well. Took me 2 weeks to get the overcharge credited, which took me into a new card month. In the end it wasn't worth the hassel.
Despite the phone calls, they won't take me off their texting list.

I'm surprised.  I did have to repeat myself but they did remove me from the list at the second attempt.

A couple of years back I bought a pole from Brodex... It split after about 6 months of moderate use - I phoned them about it and emailed them, they didn't want to know.

Brodex - Never again!

If they offered 100% off, then I might be interested. Sick of their emails and texts now.

when i first bought the hydras if i had a problem they would send out replacements straight away (well 7days which is like brodex next day!)

I bought 3 poles in november from one of their offers.

within 3 months pretty much all my pole clamps had snapped, 2 brush heads are un useable as the plastic moulded jets have snapped. section clamps have snapped in half. the pole hose has multipule holes like a watering can.

I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and chopped and changed things to get us working. took pictures and sent them to them. been told its with the warrenty department  ;D and that i would be informed by the end of the day.

That was on the 7th of this month!  ::)

I guess i'm just getting the brush off then. So this 3 year guarentee. are they allowed to use it as a marketing tool? cause lets face it thats why i bought them. i thought my everyday pole worry's were over. I think it must be against the trade description act or something? I am a bit bored with dealing with this issue.

I bought a 25ft hydra alloy pole off them a while ago and in defence of them i think its a good sturdy pole but its just too heavy to use day in/day out.the clamps could be better.i think all pole suppliers should supply a full set of replacement clamps and glue with their poles as standard IMO.

i think brodex made a big mistake with the 3 year guarantee on poles as they get used and abused every day.also they havent made any improvements on their poles weight and closed lengths which is really important for us professional window cleaners.

it doesnt matter if they were offering their poles for 50p.id still rather pay £300 for a gardiners SLX pole as there far more user friendly and lighter.

So their poles are not liked, but what about their systems?
