Slx 30 with the bottom 2 sections removed. Best pole ive ever had thanks to a mate buying an elite and selling me his cast offs.

I just add the extra sections for 3 storey work.

I am thinking of getting one of these slx 35 or slx 30 and doing the same ..Im new to this and havent got many custys yet but I'm seeing a lot of solar panels and thinking maybe I can clean with slx. Is this possible with the 30 or 35? I got a harris for normal domestic but intand to use on 1st cleans and conny roofs. I only want to buy 1 pole and make the right choice.

Sorry to hi jack the thread but was going to post same question, didnt want to duplicate.

I use a clx 22 for most of my domestic use and have an Elite 30 if the clx can't reach certain windows but the clx 22 is mainly used and a good pole too. ;D

slx 22 for me  :) reaches nearly everything on 3 storeys and below.

2 add on sections always in van for commercials etc.   ;)

Elite 30 stripped down to a couple of sections for conny roofs & first cleans .

25ft SLX as well.i think its better to have that extra reach rather than have to go back to the van for a longer pole or mess about taking end caps off and adding sections.its light enough to use all day every day.

i will be getting a 40ft supermax when funds allow for solar panels and hopefully i few bigger jobs that i dont currently have at the moment!! ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

SLX-22 all day for me.

At 6'3" tall, I do have an advantage, though, so can see why so many votes for SLX25.

CLX-22 does 99% of my work but I am 6' 4".
The 25 looks good but for me unnecessary and the extra 10" of closed length would be more of a hindrance than a help.

my ideal pole would be a slx with a reach of 25-30 ft and a closed size of 4ft  or 4ft 7" that would make cleaning downstiars windows easier  ;D ;D ;D

Yes mate, but its nice to have that extra bit of reach for houses with connys and porches etc, as you will struggle with a 18ft.
