Hi Matt,

I am not suggesting any other poles but the elite seem to be very good and rigid, i have just looked at tosh's spec sheet and there is an average of 200 grams in it. I have just been weighing things in my kitchen to get an idea and a coffee mug weighs 400 grams and my phone weighs 200 grams, is anyone seriously going to tell me that it makes such a massive difference?

If they are they should leave the phone in the van at all times cos carrying that round makes all the difference....

So spec and price wise, I don't think there's a whole lot in it.  If the Elite was a lot cheaper, it would be worth a 'risk', but it's not, so I'd probably go with what I know and buy a Gardiner pole 'cos I've had them before and Alex gives good customer service.

Elite have just dropped the price by 10%, I kinda suspect because of this thread, so why not buy one and give us a review?

And if Elite would like to send me a freebie 18 foot pole, I'd happily give them a review on camera, compared with the SLX.

Tosh do you really think one post one here will transform a whole company's pricing strategy? There is only a tiny percentage of window cleaners that come on here, if it was cos of this post all they had to do is ask people to mention ciu for a discount.....

Forgive me...but how tall are bungalows were you are?? I use ans ALS 18 for everyday use... Six 35 in the bag for the odd job... I only tend to do 4,5,6 &7 bed gaffs and the zz18 is dine 90% of the time...

lol yeh i was on about its closed length  there    i cant afford an slx 35 just for odd jobs
& 2 of my houses today i need my clx27 at full length with 1 arm at full stretch & i'm 6ft 1"

the poles had 10% off before this thread   i saw them on ebay & they looked good so i just asked if any one had used them
i like the idea off 1 pole that i can use all day & for ground floor as well as being able to extend it to 45ft if needed
