Absolutely! I had occasion just recently to compere the two poles throughout a days window cleaning and I'm in no doubt as to which one I prefer, even with the extra cost incurred with purchasing an Extreme.
Do quantum mechanics fix old transits?

And let us not forget, voyeurism is an occupational hazard that we simply must endure.

And, I feel confident with making such a statement even though, at present, I am, in actual fact, a man who finds himself by no means moneyed; my finances are such that I am somewhat impecunious, and yet, I'd still justify the extra wonga for the lighter pole.

i sold my SLX 25 and SUPERMAX 40  a few months ago and bought an extreme 25 and an extreme 47.both poles are a lot lighter and more rigid than the SLXs.

IMO they are well worth the money as my working day is a lot easier on the arms and shoulders.if you do a lot of poling like most of us do then id say go for it.you wont be disappointed in these poles.

yes granted they are expensive poles and i actually thought they d forgot to put the pole in the box of my 25 footer it was that light! ;D ;D

i use the 25 day in/day out for normal domestic/medium commercial work and the 47 for anything higher.i now have no aches and pains after a days/weeks/months work.you cant put a price on that.

i use my 25 with an aqua-daptor mk3 XL and either an extreme brush,radius sill brush or the standard  DT medium mixed brushes with a resi neck or carbon gooseneck depending on the work im cleaning.all are interchangable with the quick loc system.all from gardiners.

poles have come a long way since my 20ft streamline fibre glass pole that i started with which was an awful pole IMO.I then had a brodex hydra ali pole,22 clx,25 slx,40ft supermax and a 22 slx.

so i went through 6 poles before finally arriving at the extremes.i still have the slx 22 which is an emergency back up pole but i wont be going back to anything other than the extremes in the future for sure. ;)


best wishes

price higher/work harder!

I fully agree with above posts, I've got both 25slx and 25xtreme which I bought in the sale. The slx I've had for some time, but since I bought the Xtreme it doesn't get a workout much at all. The Xtreme is more rigid and lighter. Easier on the body.
Well worth the money. ;D  get one, go on,  you know you want tuh!  ;D
