my  22slx with aquadaptor and carbon gooseneck reaches 3 storey ( im 6'2 btw)
if shorter than that id go with 25slx , this will do everything you want 3 storey and below.
i strip a section off my 22 if no 3 storeys as i like it as light and compact ass possible.

i would go for a 25 ft SLX mate just to be sure you can reach them 3 storey windows.great pole.i also use it with a mark 3 aqua-daptor and extreme brushes.

i use my 22 ft SLX though for most domestic run of the mill work but it does come up a bit short on some large domestic and commercial stuff.

full carbon are the best poles mate.cheap as well if it lasts 3 years esp with gardiners new clamps! ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

+1    Although if you have some 3 story work you would need extra section or the 25 extreme.

I have a clx 22. Reaches over most connys and some 3rd story. I've also got an extension to help out.

Don't bother with a slx if its only for domestic work. There is no need to have a full carbon fiber pole on anything less hen 30ft really.

clx is ideal if your only doing houses and on a budget. Fair enough to the people that spend an extra £100 for carbon fiber, that's there choice. But for me at that length is pointless and a waste of money.

completly disagree, i've had all 3 clx slx and xtreme at 18ft length, and the xtreme is by far the best buy, i work faster for longer and there is less strain on my body,

It might well be the best pole but the question was best value

Has to be an SLX 25  the lightness and rigidity makes it the perfect pole for everyday work i clean 3 storey townhouses with great ease . Mike

ive never used an extreme pole so i cant comment on them.im happy with the SLXs and SUPERMAX poles for now.

i think when i need new poles(which wont be for a few years yet!)ill get a 25 extreme and 47 extreme.
price higher/work harder!
