Realy cool idear but not much eles, i wouldnt like throwing it out were public are around, also not very practical in small gardens and looks a bit whipy too. lol wet hands tossing out a 30ft pole = some old dear flying dentures.
Dont argue with a retard, they will just pull you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The link in the first post is just to show an alternative way of extending the pole if you have the room.  The second link is how it works in normal use.  It is a lot easier than a pole with clamps, to use in an enclosed space like a garden.

Reported time savings of at least 30%, fits in a small car or van.  Extends enough to clean conservatory roofs, and closes small enough to clean bottom windows, so no changing poles. 

I could go on but I won't.

£159.50 including an Autobrush.

Matt, you can have it without the brush.

Niceandclean.  The pole on it's own is 1.5KG.  The length closed is 4 foot, and fully extended is 24 foot.

Thanks Ben.

Hopefully I will have them very soon, and yes I have plans for larger poles made of carbon.

Although the brush turns when putting it up that way, it sits on the glass fine when cleaning.

The new design will have the brush fixed along with some other features.

Yes seen the video, but how does it retract? Do you just point it up in the air and it retracts slowly?

The pole hose keeps it up, and the pole collapses when you release the hose.

Firstly well done to a new concept!

sorry Peter, but how can the hose make it extend and retract? Does it extend due to water pressure, if so what size pump and/or pressure do you use?

Any technical data please, i am looking at buying new poles asap! I was thinking carbon, but i like it!
