Beautiful pole but IMO a bit like using a Ferrari to do the shopping as far as most houses are concerned.

Harris pole is not worthy of being on the same thread as SLX.


Have a couple of slx poles, they are  rigid, lite, I bash the hell out of them and they keep going.
I don't clean the pole hose like I hear others do to look after it and still it works day in day out.
the only downside unless this has been fixed (and it is a small downside) is the clamps coming loose, but when you glue them properly with aridite the job is complete (not sure if they rush this part at gardiners as happened on all slx and clx I have bought.

Would I buy an slx again, you bet your life I would.

To sum up this pole in one word: AWESOME

If you think the SLX is good - wait 'till you try the Extreme!  ;)

Yes, lovely pole. If I were to criticize at all I would say the closed length is a little on the long side, I'm 5'10 and find it a little cumbersome to extend so I don't think it would suit a short arse. Very light and very rigid. I've got the 25' too and that's a very sweet pole.

Hi
I used xtel poles for a few years, before that an unger tele pole , was always sceptical about what a difference an slx would make , 2 mths ago I ordered a 22 slx, with a medium double trim cill brush, the pole is amazing - so light and rigid, the brush is the best I've used do far, any one considering buying one , just do it, you won't be dissapointed.

bob(i swear by harris poles)rawlinson ;D ;D

i;ve got a clx and an slx, the clx is an 18' and the slx 38' (or something close).  the clx is fantastic but dont like the slx.  not tried a smaller slx so maybe i'm missing something. 

i love my clx and its so cheap...  :D

it may be because its a big one, and i;ve not compared it to a similar sized pole.  i find it heavy and awkward. 

i love the CLX and dont see how the same size SLX can be much better to justify the price leap.  will have to have a go of bobs when he gets one  :P
