For a little over £20 more you could get a clx27 that is 1.3kg lighter than that pole. You need to buy a brush, but if your using it day in day out its worth the extra as the clx is over a 1/3 lighter
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

I had a 18ft when i started out, very whippy.

Better than a brodex though ;D

i've just bought that pole used it for the first time today and its not for me

very whippy and so heavy I thought I would buy a cheep one cos I'm only using it for gutter/fascia cleaning and the odd conservatory.
I don't clean windows any more but will be buying another clx27 soon, as my clx was a great pole and that XTEL pole was hard work especially the angles you hold it at cleaning gutters and fascias.

I'll sell you my one like new only used once lol  ;D

PLEASE DONT SKIMP ON POLES!!

i bought a 25ft brodex hydra and 20ft fibreglass streamline pole when i started!i nearly gave myself a nasty shoulder injury using these poles!!avoid like the plague!!

go for a CLX if funds are tight then upgrade to an SLX when funds allow!you wont regret it!! ;) ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!
