I,ve only used it for 3 days, here are the +'s & -'s
-'s
1 Weight, a noticeable difference on my SLX, part of that is probably using the microbore as pole hose.
2 Seems flimsy, time will tell
3 Takes some getting used to. After a while the pulling action gets easier, once again this could be because i'm pulling on microbore.
4 Closed length, now a bit more awkward on downstairs windows
5 Slower extending pole, rectus fitting catching on butt cap as microbore goes up pole.
6 Expensive, but the developement must have been expensive
+'s
1 No loop of pole hose
2 Not tethered to pole at holster on belt
3 No wet legs
4 Apparently the customer service is excellent
5 I think it will speed me up even more
Overall i would say that if it lasts i will keep it on my slx, but i've bought an extreme brush to lower the weight.
I can see why it's won awards and so far i think that the plusses make up for any niggles.
btw thanks to Tosh for putting me onto the flipfast, i,ve ordered three.
