My nano looking quite worn no snapped sections as yet I may try the boss pole next 

[KS Cleaning]

An Extreme pole extends incredibly well and drops down to the base section with ease I’ve yet to use a pole that does this from new,the Ova although a great pole doesn’t do this and only begins to slide back in the previous section when it’s had a fair bit of use.
The way the Extreme opens and closes would win the comparison in the above 2 poles although the sections don’t spin on the Ova weight would sway me to the Extreme every time.

They were even better for extending/collapsing when they had the raised bottom, middle and top clamping points. The downside was they didn’t last as long as you couldn’t clamp along the entire length of the pole section, only on the raised clamping points.

Yeah I agree they were very robust over the clamping metal section  and as you say great for putting the pole up and down quickly,I’ve still got the one I had but did have to replace the top section but the pole lasted ages.
I think a lot of people at the time said it lasted longer than the previous version,my thinking was that’s why it went back I wouldn’t want to be selling something that lasted 2-3 times longer as a seller for obvious reasons.

The Xtreme I was referring to pre dated the one with the metal collars, it had three clamping points per section and each of these clamping points had a raised profile meaning there was very little friction between the sections when extending/collapsing.

Sorry yes KS that’s the one I meant I still have one with the metal bands also.

At £700 i would rather buy 2 SLX 22 ft and still have some change left over.

Each to their own but a 22 footer is too short for lots of my work so pretty useless really!

After so many years refining your work I’m surprised you need a 25’ pole for most of it.

Cos I clean some very large buildings as well as my usual round that has lots of awkward windows....i need all 25 ft just to reach the first-floor windows on some Georgian properties 

[NWH]

You don’t need a 25ft for them I’m cleaning that kind of house daily 1st floor you would get some with an 18 definitely with a 22,maybe you stand 25ft back from the window Daz is that what you mean lol.

[Stoots]

im thinking about trying a 22ft hi mod next, shame xline dont do one

i have an 18 and 25 but dont like swapping about during the day its a bit annoying sometimes so i have a habit of just using the 25 because i cant be bothered messing about but its a bit cumbersome for all day use due to the extra length.

Go for the Ova 22 m8 Hi Mod you won’t be disappointed you’ll be surprised 👌

Are the clamps OK they look terrible?

Sure you've said before they were rubbish ?

I might try one 🤔

How can you even comment on my work?🤣

You have no idea what work i clean AT ALL......

I'll need my 25 footer fully extended at least 5 or 6 times today.....do you suggest using a smaller pole and going back to the van for my 25 just for 5 or 6 windows?it's not worth it...

I also have some jobs with 3 storey windows that i can just about reach with the 25 so this is my main day to day pole

[NWH]

They must be very very high first floor windows on a Victorian house to need a 25ft pole Daz I’ve been cleaning them for 30 years almost and never needed a pole that long,maybe they can’t measure up North lol.

The clamps are not great but that aren’t as important as they are on a pole like an Extreme because on the Ova they only need to clamp vertically on an Extreme you want  to be secure on the whole section don’t you.
Honestly give it a go in Hi Mod form lovely in the hand when you get used to the shape and feels proper quality.

That's why i went to 22ft instead of a 25ft ,the 22ft reaches 95% of my work....

Do you use a swivel? I find they are great for windows above conservatories as you can get them from the side of the conservatory most of the time, my 18’ pole does most of my work including windows above conservatories.

I might order a new Extreme soon. I need a new hat.

Wouldn’t bother with the ova 8 22 hi mod. I had one, two sections cracked near the base after a few weeks, and they weigh more that the advertised weight, they weigh the same as an slx 22, I told streamline about the discrepancy in their advertised weight but they said my scales must be wrong, funny thing is though my scales weighed my slx 22 the same as the advertised weight.

If you want a cheap hi mod pole go for the boss hi mod, they are almost identical to the xtereme poles.

I'll give it a miss, I think boss poles also have similar clamps ? Look like cner ones

Yes they are all cner. The claps are the same as the ova8 but for a round pole obviously.

Back on topic....it was a joy to use my brand new xtreme today.ive just forgot how easy this makes my work day...

Got a f/s/g clean first thing tomorrow followed by 18 estate houses to clean....

[Slacky]

What's the difference between brand new and new? Asking for a friend.
