Really nice pole, best I've had in the two and a half years since I went WFP(5th pole I've purchased) Well made, smooth action, basic decent clamps, rigid and reasonably light. Like the brush that came with it too, seems to sit nicely on the glass, although I put some brass jets in it and changed the pole hose to suit my pole tap.
Prefer it to my highly expensive SLX to be honest as the clamps are rubbish on that and I havn't got round to changing to the revised ones which I was sent free of charge. Also does anybody find that the SLX turns your hands black?

you sound just like , and i hope the mighty whites win tonight against kettering on itv4 .
I have the slx , if you wash and wipe it down 2x a week i find the hands aren't as black , but unfortunately i dont have time to do that .
I have fitted the new clamps, 2nd edition and they are better but i have nearly gone through the recent new batch .Must admit a lovley pole when in full working order 10/10 .In terms of quality for hard wearing  5/10 .The clamps are shocking .

The brodex pole , is it possible to change the brush heads frequently as i'd like to use it as a 2nd pole for a employee and also to then change to put a sill brush head on to clean facia's etc with CIF onto the brush head , save buying 2 poles ?
Don't want to use a brush once Cif been on it regulary .

Cheers

Alright Kempy mate...Old trafford here we come Grin

If you fit a plastic Y piece from the hose to the brush you can just pull the hose off it and unscrew the brush off the pole and put another one on.

I'd say so but not had it that long, it has the 3 year guarantee though which is a fantastic offer. I had an X- tel pole as my daily pole before the Brodex and that only lasted 15 months. I use an 18 footer, the Xtel being £80 and the Brodex £110 with the 3 year guarantee so I think that's got to be good value.
