Spot-lite poles from cleaning spot

[Alpha]

Hi all. I need to buy a new pole and found the spot lite range on cleaning spot. They look really good but was hoping to get a review from someone who has used them.

Has anyone here used any of them also are they any good?

I currently use a gardiner clx

Thanks

I didnt think many people would reply with any reviews or experience with the spot lite range as there new products. Thanks for your response albootyerbals i knew i would get that response as gardiners poles are awesome however the spot lite poles look great and very similar to gardiner poles and are very affordable. To be completly hounest i think the look much better and i hate red poles ie. the clx i know that is a irrelavent choosing point but i cant see how there performance cannot be as good as gardiner poles from what they look like to me. I reccomend you guys take a look at them and post some feedback.

Cheers all

Buy the new gardener 25 extreme 3 yes it's dear but let's be honest you should get 3 4 5 years maybe even more out of it work that out per week it's nothing it is so light so you won't hurt or damage your shoulder plus you will be able to do more work in the day as you won't be knackered it is a fantastic pole I promise you will not regret it

Hi Alpha

As you have asked.....

As the manufacturer of Gardiner Poles I obviously take great interest in any pole that comes out looking very similar to our products. I have examples of these Spot-lite poles (The Water Genie poles are also the same item with a different label) in my possession and can easily summarize the differences for you.

The surface quality of the carbon is inferior and uses an older technique of wrapping.

The clamps, whilst designed to copy the look of the Gardiner Smart Clamps are actually much inferior and do not offer any of the advantages of the Gardiner Smart Clamps.

The result is that, whilst the pole will appear to operate in much the same way as a Gardiner pole and has been designed to look almost identical, it will not last anywhere near as well as a genuine Gardiner Pole. The quality of the pole surface and the lack of self-adjusting mechanism in the clamps means that they will start to slide and spin very quickly compared to the Gardiner poles.

Alternatively you could buy the pole and review it for others. /emoticons/biggrin.png

Me personally, I learned what I wanted form my early excersions with several terrible fibreglass poles and Gardiners poles ticked all the boxes. I currently use the SL-X 18 as my everyday pole.

I've had one as live close to cleaning spot I bought the glass fibre one and it was crap don't know what carbon would be like but I now use gardiners and wouldn't go back I've contemplated other poles but always go with gardiners in the end as they never disappoint.

I have the ionics glyder pole and the gardiner and the ionic pole stays in the van as a backup in case the gardiner pole fail, and up to now the ionics has been a Great Wall hanger. the gardiner is so well built and great to work with. I will defo be replacing with another gardiner.

I started with a 2.1 kg 17ft fibre glass pole from sureclean systems nearly dislocated my shoulders and back was tempted to go back to trad glad I stuck at it.
