Im sorry mate, but i dont agree with you, the vikan rectangle brush is not to heavy, its perfect weight when using at that height, to light a brush head can sometimes cause more issues. might be nice for an odd house to have a mega light brush, but when you polling at height all day on commercial properties, then the vikan brush is pretty good, not too heavy or light.

I'd say hybrid as well, a very good pole for the money, the vikan rec brush I find good as well, all though some say that it is too bouncy. I have a cleaning spot brush on my hybrid at the moment, It seems to be doing the job.

Yeah but if your vikan is not doing as good a job i think they`d go for the yard broom don`t you i know i would.

Post by: SherwoodCleaningSe on February 23, 2008, 07:39:43 am: A 30 ft pole should reach 3 level work. If it comes down to buying a pole then at the very least get a hybrid as if you spend money on glass fiber at that hieght then really you are wasting your money. However it might be worth seeing if anyone near you has a pole you can borrow.

Both of these places are coming out at around 300 for a 28ft hybrid. I have one and it can easy do 3 level old buildings.

Post by: frames to panes on February 23, 2008, 11:19:46 pm: Blimey that's a good price, is that with hose,connectors and valve? How much delivery on that (and the dreaded vat?)
Do you sell that Vikan unjetted? Only i like my jets much further apart than that.
