Well when I think of the Gardiners Superlight poles I use for about £100 each then it looks very reasonable to be honest. The tubes are 30% carbon so a bit more bendy I would imagine. The whole package doesn't look too badly priced.
The vac is quite a lump but has plenty of power.

I need a a new one! They do look good for the money but need people to say they are good before i buy!
I don't think I'll ever go above 20ft and I won't be using it so the bend won't be too much of a prob, can't justify more expensive poles really.

Dont waist your money guys, These poles won't last long, buy Gardines. they are the best in a long run. and for the vacuum, its too big to move around.

Them poles are aluminium tho, and the vac is only 1400W.

I want a 3000W vac and carbon fibre poles or at least part carbon fibre.

Vac is slightly cheaper here..

Those poles in the link above look a pain to do up and undo, does any do a pole with a clamp that can be tightened like a wfp clamp?

Defo get a 3000w i still need ladders sometimes and i had 1400w and 1800w got rid straight away. Also i'd get 50mm tubes and 50mm hose. You can also get http://carbonfibretubes.co.uk/ to make you carbon fibre pole in 50mm 2metre lenghts minimum of 5 i think around £300 phone and ask cause a lot of others have done this. :)

don't choose your vac on wattage alone , you need to find out the suction specs for the vac -

suction power in millibars and the airflow per minute .

these are more important than wattage .

the nilfisk has good suction for its wattage and matches some 2400 watt vacs.

if you are doing just domestics it is ideal .
