i looked at the pole at the cleaning show and thought it was an excellent tool very stiff and yet light and hard wearing was tempted myself but of memory i think they wanted £300 for the 25ft one then which i thought was to much ,£239 sounds much better although still a little steep , if you do buy one make sure you ask how long they will be supplying spare parts for the pole as i bought a carbon fibre one of them and one year later they could not supply me with a new section i had to have a predator section fitted to it so their customer service has also put me off too.
