Just ordered my clx 22, hope it's good..!

Finally coming off my crappy glass fibre arm wrenching poles, have just ordered clx 22 and if good may get the 27 or possibly the slx 35 finances permitting, hope they as good as what people say they are...!

cancel and go straight to the 35 and just remove the bottom two sections,that gives you a slx27? ish and when you need the extra length re attach the bottom sections

concept

More than welcome to have a play with ours....

We use 27's for everyday use, lots of 3 storey and awkward extensions. Saves messing around remembering which job needs which pole, meaning more time earning money.

Your gonna love it-but get the next one up,it's worth the extra: ours came last week and the staff are arguing over it!! We will be changing our other poles over soon as
we succeed because others can't or won't

Agree with above,.. brill pole , 27ft is perfect for most jobs....

just watch the clamps as they wear quickly, also try not to lock the first clamp (closed)... in the same position on the pole too often,

or you will end up with a spinning brush eventually  ;)

Going to order my first WFP next week, going for a CLX 27. On gardiners site theres a few options, just wandering if any of you guys could explain what they mean better and if I should order these extras:

Fitted Flow Valve extra £9.50

Brush Fanjets Fitted as Upgrade (+£8.00)

Going to be using a backpack to begin with on residential houses.

when you collapse the whole pole to minimum, the clamp nearest to the brush head.... lock it to the pole , but try to not lock it at the same part of the pole everytime, even moving it by a few millimetres, because that is the most used part of the pole , and it wears very quickly,leaving the section of the pole to spin....

as the pole gets thinner, the clamp will eventually be useless.

We use 27's for everyday use, lots of 3 storey and awkward extensions. Saves messing around remembering which job needs which pole, meaning more time earning money.
Same here, ideal poles for anyone with staff, or on a budget.

if for yourself the slx 35 is hands down the winner, lite enough to use alday everyday without the need to remove sections.

SLX 35 is too bulky and awkward to be used all day.  there's bags of tubing on it too which gets caught up.  and it's massive overkill too.  you dont need that length on domestics, so it's money wasted.

we have CLX 22 as main pole and hits 95% of windows.   then longer SLX30 in the van for the couple of houses you need the length on.

I agree with the above post,
I use a slx18 for 95% and rest is done with a slx30

I use it all day everyday, there is nothing wrong with it unless you hand small hands I guess. 22 is too short for some houses meaning it is not an all round pole. So the 27 is the pole to have ;)
