Are the gardiner xtreme poles really that good?

[wezza13]

It just depends on what work you clean as well...I have lots of work with awkward angle windows,skylights and 3 storey windows so an xtreme helps a lot in reduced strain during my working day.i also have some large properties where I need my 25 ft pole fully extended just to reach the first floor windows.....

Defo agree. About 90% of my work is using the Xtreme 35 6 of the 7 sections. My round is mainly rural and full of farmhouses, manor houses and the like. It'd be nice if I could only use an Xtreme 18 but most of the windows wouldn't get cleaned.

I Been using xtreme’s 2-3 years now and before that slx and wouldn’t go back, i expect 12 months out of them and anything extra is a bonus but I never understand some of these posts about poles and prices, £600 for an xtreme is peanuts for what it earns us even if you just worked it out over 12 months, long term your body will thank you and also they actually pay for themselves as you feel less fatigued over the day using a lighter pole it means you can add more work in.

i had a ducky shoulder injury for years using my slx I found within weeks it pretty much went after using an xtreme, this gave me better nights sleeps feeling fresher and I started to add more work into my day, I reckon I do at least £50 a day more than I was using an slx.

2-3 weeks its paid for itself just in the extra cleans I’ve added.

Xtreme poles along with electric reels and heated water for me is the best 3 things you can buy to improve your work rate and help yourself everyday make a strenuous job slightly easier?

Xtreme 22 with Extreme stiff brush. 
Very light but rigid, very quick across the glass, easy to change from vertical strokes to horizontal strokes, you'll work quicker, less strain on your shoulders and arms, just don't drop it!

Extremes 18’ and 25’ also 35’ with two slx extensions for 4 storey stuff only use extreme brushes also brilliant poles.

Are the extreme and slx sections compatible with each other?

Extreme  47 with 3 extensions has been a godsend for me, before buying it l used to have a ionic yellow ergo pole, I think it was called, a beast of a pole like a downpipe, It makes me appreciate  Gardiner wfp, my saviour, love you ALEX

Extension no8 and no9 are compatible I only use them on 4 houses which are 4 storey every 8 weeks.

Always wanted a an extreme 25 so bought one last year it’s a great pole but not worth 400 quid more than the six which is brilliant too and more than adequate, not knocking the extreme but if I’d tried one before buying definitely wouldn’t have bothered.Btw every pole I have is from sir alex

I’d be 52 this year and got arthritis so every Gram counts, I could use an slx 25 but choose not too as trying to future proof myself for as long as I can. 

my son uses the slx range with ultimate brushes. 

 

[tench0771]

i get 2 years out of the extreme poles luv them once u go extreme its hard to go back to slx 

 

[Dustdown]

I’m 57 being W.C. since I was 19 everything hurts but in my opinion the extreme is overpriced but it does ease the pain not the wallet

Hi Dustdown, as you think, you would not have bothered if you had tried one before  !, are you selling it ?

Might be getting an Extreme 18 and using my slx for softwashing and pvc cleans in the future. Good to have a dedicated pole and brush for different jobs.

Bad idea IMO.....you want to use the xtreme poles for everything.....f/s/g cleans are harder work than regular windows so u want the most lightest and rigid pole in your arsenal
