If you use them for cleaning windows then they are fine. Mine is used day in day out and I have lots of work. Be prepared to look after them a bit more than usual, clean them out etc.
If you use them to shove windows shut or lever them over garage roofs then buy something less sophisticated.

By sophisticated you mean fit for purpose? Window cleaners do sometimes need to 'lever' them over garage roofs and extensions. If they are only for special snowflake window cleaners then they should be sold as such.

Just because I sometimes like the 'road less travelled' doesn't mean you can call me a bummer :D T

he section is about 8/9 months old. I should have seen it coming, I could squeeze the section very easily it had worn so thin. Hindsight and all that, just glad there wasn't a car under it when it collapsed.

The Extreme is sold to people who need the lightest possible.
SLX is more suited to those with special needs.
Neanderthals should buy Aluminium from Brodex.

i use my extremes all day every day for everything including f/s/g cleans,conny roofs and solar panels.

my main 25 lasted 18 months and im on my second extreme 25(bought in dec 14).the older one just needs the top 2 sections replacing and itll be good to go for another 18 months i reckon.

as for snapping poles.ive never snapped a section on any poles ive used in nearly 5 years wfp and i shut windows with em every day.maybe ive just been lucky.

my extreme 47 gets used about 10 times a month and its coming up to 2 years old.it still looks brand new.i reckon itll last me 10 years before needing a replacement.

if it does last me 10 years thats less than £100 a year(it was £850 in the sale)less than £2 a week to use the best lightest high level pole on the market. ;)
price higher/work harder!
