The slx poles are the dogs danglies.
I bought an 18' slx and a 35' slx in September,I was not that impressed at first due to problems with the clamps on my 18' pole. The pole was sent back twice to gardiners because it was so difficult to extend and contract the pole sections. I was hopeing they would refund me my money when I sent it back.
I am so glad they sent it back to me as my 18'pole wipes the floor with every pole I have ever used,As the outer resin started to wear out the pole sections now glide up and down when being used. The pole only weighs 1kg, the handle section is very narrow and its so rigid.I go faster over a day and use a lot less energy as when you put pressure on the pole it goes straight to the brush head on the glass.My 17' xtels are now history,I use the 17'xtel on the odd house just to remind me how good the slx is.
4 months ago I thought the 17' xtel was the best bang for your buck pole on the market.That is no longer true. That honour now belongs to the 17' slx,at £100.00 more the an xtel it is an absoulte STEAL.
The flock brush on my 18' slx is a marriage made in heaven.
