I have brought the new 26ft hydra pole for half price, and its Crap - Crap - Crap.
Its like using cooked spaghetti very very bendy a complete nightmare to use when fully extended.
Sorry Brodex but this pole is rubbish, now i no why you are selling them for Half price.

i bought one too, now wish i hadn't wasted my money.  >:(

people on here said it should be ok at the price, however, it's gash.

really struggle to control it, and i am a big lad.

can't wait til i can afford a hybrid or carbon pole. 1st thing on my wish list i can tell ya!

I've always said the same- It's a false economy mate. Where poles are concerned buy the real deal from day one. Nothing you ever buy will pay for itself more!!

No wonder people struggle to get good results with poles which bend like bananas! ;)

SLX- all the way

i dont have the funds to buy a carbon pole at the mo, so, i have to struggle and ache for the time being!

mate, they are 95 quid, at the end of the day, its paid for itself, but its not ideal for me.

just buy one direct.

Poles arrived today, not had a chance to use them yet, but the hose they used is very heavy so will be changing that before i use it.

One thing I dont like is the fact the sections do not have stoppers and the first time I pull the first section straight out of the pole.

That's actually a good thing. Means you can remove sections you don't need & thus reduce weight & base diameter, makes for easier working! ;) You'll soon get used to that.

Central, do you WFP on residentials in the area?
Just a question as I'm still trying to educate the customers in Hinckley and Burbage.

I used my WFP for fascias in the past, now I use a pressure washer, so much easier and quicker.
I'm looking at a polar brite pressure washer.

how much is your pressure washing insurance or is covered by your window cleaning policy?
