ionics have a 0% finance offer on there systems & poles.... has anyone taken them up on there offer? ive looked into it & the pole works out at approx £609 inc vat... great i think until i make further enquirees with finance company & by the time ive paid for it over 2 years its best part of £850... am i missing something in there advert?

If its the so called deal i seen on eBay i wouldn't bother as one slx or extreme would be better than having three.

ive already got gardiner slx but had it prob 3 years now...? great pole but obviously its wearing now.So when i saw ionics offer made me think its time to get a new one.Can buy one outright but 0% over 2yrs... great... my gardiner poles been great & there service is excellent.Im sure now it will be another gardiner for me but was just curious if anybody had bought ionics

I saw that offer too, and I have to say it did interest me.

For me a pole lasts about 2 years, so 2 years at 0%, then get a new one.

I like the fact that there's no upfront fee, and only a £10 fee at the end of the term.  It means I could get a new Glyder 35 (my pole of choice) for £17 a month. 

I always take interest free if its available when buying anything, the way I see it, you might as well have the money in your bank account than theirs if it doesn't cost any extra.

I wondered if somebody thought it was a good deal... ok.. the finance company charge a £70 set up fee (ionics say no up front fee)...the repayments on the pole i was looking at were approx £26.58 per month.. oh... plus vat so thats approx £31.89 per month... think if its over 12 months then a £10 fee at the end & if over 24 months £25 fee at the end... i did email ionics but had no reply.... do they really have the window cleaners best interests at heart.....!!!

There is no set up fee, who told you there was?

I checked with them the other day while I was phoning to see if they had any decent pole offers on.  Don't get mixed up with that Think Smart thing, that's not the interest free offer.

I rang ionics... Asked about 0% finance offer on poles... They took my details & passed them over to finance company... The finance company told me of fees
