Has anyone tried the new vertigo pole from Ionics, it seems to have some great ideas. I know ionics have a bad name on this site, but they are a British company , aren't they worth at least a debate for that reason.

Gardiners are a British company also.

I think the price puts most people off - I don’t mind paying extra for quality but I doubt ionic poles are significantly better than gardiners ( example - slx poles date back 6 years and still going strong - one did finally lose section one to wear but why would I look at anything else on the market ? )

I have an old 70’ Ionics pole. It’s great! Far less bend than other  carbon poles. It’s 3m closed though.

Sod buying anything new off them.

No Gardiners don't according to several posts Alex has put up over the last few years.

Why make a statement like that based on assumption as though it was fact? Please provide the proof to back your statement up.

 everyone on here ignores everything Ben M says spruce.....

He's an idiot....or he certainly comes across that way in his posts...

I never knew Alex was a JW to be honest

I've often wondered why anyone would name a pole "Vertigo".

Symptoms of vertigo

The sensation that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning may be:

    barely noticeable
    so severe that you find it difficult to keep your balance and do everyday tasks

Attacks of vertigo can develop suddenly and last for a few seconds, or they may last much longer.

If you have severe vertigo, your symptoms may be constant and last for several days. This can make normal life difficult.

Other symptoms associated with vertigo may include:

    loss of balance – which can make it difficult to stand or walk
    feeling sick or being sick
    dizziness

Its the same as the name Facelift gave their Phoenix pole when they were released a few years back. The first thing that I thought of is "the Phoenix arising from the ashes."  The ashes - doesn't say much for what was before.

Then they name the new pole Phantom.

Phantom may refer to:

    An apparition, more specifically a
        Spirit
        Ghost
    An illusion, a distortion of the senses

These are negative connotations and wouldn't inspire me to buy one.

Want one called the ‘cleans windows easily’ pole.

Someone once asked me if I had virtigo, I said no, just round the corner! 🤪
