I'm going to be visiting the Ionic Roadshow in a couple of weeks in Bristol to have a play with their poles and other stuff. I'll be driving up from Plymouth and was wondering whether anyone on here has been before and what their opinions of it were.

I'm also taking my nine year old ( on a school day too  ) 'cause the Dr Who Museum and Torchwood are both there and he's a massive fan so even if Ionic isn't up to much I'm hoping to bump into Billy Piper

Thank you, point taken

I agree with Ewan, and also you can make your own mind up on ionics products rather thenjust hearing all the negatives on here, my opinion on there poles is good, little heavier but will last years.

Thank you RWC, that's the main reason I want to go really, play before I pay.



That and the chance of running into Billy Piper; again, play before I pay

Ionic's poles are very rigid, strong and definitely built to last.

The only downside is their replacement clamps don't have enough clearance to adjust the pole very much, (but that can be remedied). The clamp levers can catch on guttering when cleaning over conservatory roofs.

The poles are fairly heavy in comparison to gardiners super lite range but what pole isn't?

The domestic brush is ok-ish but the commercial one is far to stiff unless you're using hot water. They are not bad for 1st cleans but not for regular rinse overs. Best advice is fit gardiners super lite brush to Ionics poles.

I personally would prefer to pay the same kind of money and buy Facelift carbon poles as they are almost as rigid but the clamps are better designed and the poles are slightly lighter and slimmer.
