Slx 22 Not in stock what now, 25?
« on: November 30, 2009, 04:16:29 pm »
I am not moaning but really dissapointed I didnt buy it earlier now. Gardiners have sold out and dont know when or if they will be getting them back in. So I am a bit lost as to what pole now.

The 22 was on a rather good price and seems like a very good pole.

I cant really afford to go up to almost £400 on the slx 25, but wanted to know if its worth it, or a different pole for the £300 mark?

Is the much difference in terms of reaching higher windows withg the 25 over the 22, or will the difference be minimal.

Thanks for any help!!!

I would stick to the slx.  I have the first gen 25ft slx and open it all the way several times a month.  If you only need the 22 ft then I would wait for it to come back in stock, there is a massive difference between the slx and other poles and seeing that a pole is an investment that will last for hopefully at least a year possibly many, you might as well get the right one to begin with.

In a normal round, with normal residential properties, if you want to reach 99% of said residential work, you need a 25ft SL-X.

I have the 25 and it is only just long enough for some of my residentials - a 22 would have been too short so I'm glad i spent the extra money now.

I bought the 18' initially but recently added two lengths on it to make it I think a 28/29 footer. Its still a piece of cake to use all day even with the extra weight and over conservatorys now is so much easier, Im sure the longer pole is stiffer; which makes it all that much easier to use and work with.

And you can remove the last section and use it as a 22 footer if you want to like my son does.

i would say stretch to the slx 25, myself i have slx 35 but 90% of the time i use it in 25 and keep the extra two section in the motor for the odd 10%,

have alook at the brodex hydra alloy , half the price and will last twice as long , obviously not as light but a very useable pole regards alan

Cheers guys. Really thought the 22 would do most of my stuff. But seems like the 25 is the one then. Can you add more to it later? How high does the 25 go?

Think maybe this was a blessing in disguise!!  ;D

I would advise the 25ft one anyway mate. Superb pole. does everything from ground to, well, depends how tall you are! ;D better to have a bit more than not enough.

Had mine since it first was released (MKI) still use it every day! Can't praise this pole enough. ;)

How old would that make the pole mate? And have you had any big or major problems with it? Wear ok?

I understand the Mk3 will have improvements.

Can't quite remember but would think 2 years old. No more wear than what is normal & expected. Have carbon facelift too but don't use it as prefere SLX. Had to minor modify clamps once but the slx has better clamps now. Absolutely no grumbles from me regarding this pole. ;)

Sounds good. So 2 years is acheivable  ;D

New to Wfp and some people have said a year +, but this sounds good!!
