x line poles

Who uses x line poles and if you do what is the verdict of the poles and the extensions.  Also a verdict on the brushes would be nice.

Medium mix super light lasted well over a year so I just got another one off those. For poles xlines are very  similar  to  elite poles I think that's what they called them and I thought it was a pile off crap, also used the Phoenix  but to be honest the slx is the best I've used  in the fifteen  years off poling windows that s what I will  get again for my next pole

The x line flocked brush is far far better than any gardiner brush , I have been using super light for years but alway felt they didn't last long. They feel very cheap to use compared to the x line

I have to echo this. I bought a flocked and a mono. Always used the Gardiner extreme brushes but also bought the supreme, again one of each, when they came out.
The extreme are so light but wear too quickly, l was buying a flocked every month.
The supreme again were ok but I did not think they cleaned any better than the extreme, just heavier.
Xline seem to have slightly longer bristles and defo feel different/better on the glass. Heavier, yes. But quicker to use, it that makes sense.

I will try one of his poles when I need to replace mine.

I would like to try one of the x line poles or maybe buy another slx which are great poles but the exchange rate between the euro and sterling makes it very expensive to buy any pole at the moment.

I agree the supremes don't clean any better than the extremes IMO,hell of a lot of difference on the end of the pole if there's not on the scales

On regular cleans they don't need a lot of scrubbing I use hot water and that in itself does most of the work
