New pole - help me choose

[SPCleaning]

I currently have a CLX - 27 (very worn, worked hard) and a Phoenix Hybrid 'P' 22'.

I like both poles very much. The CLX needs to be replaced and I could use some extra height.

I have a budget of £500.

Where would you put your money?

SLX 35 includes brush, resineck angle adaptor, hose and connector - free delivery.

Phoenix includes hose. Brush 34.74, angle adaptor 4.80 + hose connector (Series 26) 2.35 = 428.89

I can't see if there is a delivery charge, but if their is then add that. Not much in it price wise TBH. I guess its all down to clamp preference.

I don't have any experience with a Phoenix pole, so I would go with the supplier I do have experience with if I was making the choice myself.

This is my take on it and is not an adverse reflection on WCW or the Facelift product. I have purchased stuff from WCW in the past and have had good service from them.

From what I have seen, Stephen Fox has also been very quick to help with any issues that purchasers have experienced.

Thanks Spruce,

I'm just going to see what the general feeling is and go with that.

Any slx. I use a clx and just have the extra 10ft add on section. I don't like changinging my pole to do the bottoms so the clx is perfect for me.

If you get a phoenix.. then go for the full carbon one. Same as the slx. And stick on a super light sill brush

I use a Phoenix ultra light 26. Brilliant pole use it for everything it's says full carbon on Pf website but the fella I ordered from let it slip it was 80% carbon 20% fibre glass

I only know Gardiners, the SLX-35. It's bit heavy for all day use though. How about the SLX-25, or do you need longer? I suppose you could buy the 25' and the extensions to take it to 35'?

I'd go phoenix personally

The phoenix 26 UL is a food pole.

This is much closer than I thought. I was expect an out and out leader, but thats not really happened. Interesting.

Thank you for your input guys.
