Been using my Nlite 24k pole for about 10 days now & it's a fantastic pole . I was apprehensive about how comfortable it might be to use but find the shape of pole perfect, feels really comfy. The powerbrush is excellent, though the inbuilt pencil jets are total pants ! Ordered the 8.6m one now as well , with the added sections.
Lots of people are talking about the flexibility of the pole, seems more then the original carbon nLite that I have, may just be the camera angle. But 3 floors heigh, I'm not getting that kind of wip. Perhaps the HiMod would be better, also, doesn't the top rinse bar, rinse to heigh above the frames, and bring dirt down. Pole looks really good, but like the original nLit, may not be the best in practability for doing the job it was designed for.
I have different poles I like for different situations to be honest. I’ve got certain days work where I love the nLite and it helps me get through the day more quickly, but in other places I find it can be awkward. Gardiner poles have the most accessories.👍🏼
Don’t forget that a couple of these examples are third storey windows, any carbon pole would flex a bit at that height, especially reaching out to the side. Maybe it’s the camera angle too, but I would say that this pole is pretty similar in flex to the SLX.😃👍🏼
The bristles are awesome, right up there with the Xline. I like the rinse bar combo as well, but the whole thing is a little heavy with all the features and accessories added.👍🏼
Ashley i dont know if you have used the 8.6m 6 section Carbon 24k ? What is it like for all day use? Also, is it possible to remove a couple of sections if not needed?
You can’t remove the sections at all, it’s all fixed together. There isn’t much versatility in the tool, it’s only compatible with Unger accessories, which aren’t that great really.😬👎🏼
It is a chunky pole, but those are pretty high windows so there is bound to be a bit of flex from a carbon pole at that height. I would actually say it’s pretty rigid, similar to an SLX.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley. I'm looking to purchase my first water-fed pole, mainly for sofet and gutter cleaning at this stage. What pole would you recommend, please? I presume they run off Hose/mains? Thanks and keep up the great work
Thanks. A Gardiner pole would be good for you, 25/30ft, with a flocked bristle brush for fascias. You will just have to get the right hose connector or an adapter if you want it to fit a garden hose.😃👍🏼
I think it’s partly the camera angles. I think it’s actually pretty rigid for a carbon pole. A couple of the examples in the video are third storey. Any carbon pole would flex a bit at that height, especially when reaching out to the side. I would say it’s pretty similar to an SLX. I would like to try the hi-mod version of this though.😃👍🏼
The design with the clip on top of the gooseneck to hold the hose back is old-school. The new gooseneck design is rigid inside and doesn't need a clip.
Have to say that’s like using a fishing rod to clean windows, sorry but don’t like it at all esp for how much it cost! Also bulky clips!! gardiner extreme all day long! Also have you used slick connect ? if not try it, you wished used them before or why not used ………. thanks again ash for your vids 👌
Hey Ashley another great video would you be interested if I was to come and work with you for a week to gain further experience? I started up in Surrey back in may and currently on a trolley WFP system. learning different techniques and a bit of trad work would be of great help!

Yes, I will get to it. This pole is a bit big for regular domestic. I have a smaller one coming, so once I’ve given that one a good road test I will do a review.😃👍🏼
I’ve been wanting to see this pole in action. So thanks for that Ash. Got to say yes it looks well made but it looks cumbersome and very soft in the top sections. Think I will stick with my gardener 3k and my Phantom Hi Mod for the time being.

Been using this pole for few months now, the total set up is very good. Well worth the extra money.
Glad you like it.😃👍🏼

@@aemackintosh Looks that way ....
Great video what size pole was this?
Ash if you had to buy a 22 foot pole as an everyday would it be this Unger or Gardiner Xtreme or Phantom or Ova 8 (high mod edtions) ? Cheers mate
After trying everything out there, all things considered, I would go for a Gardiner SLX or Phantom, with Gardiner accessories.

It definitely doesn’t feel whippy. The brush has a bit of weight so I don’t think that helps.
I do like the ability to switch between fixed and swivel so quick, great idea. Does look a bit more flexi than an SLX but maybe it was higher?
For these 3rd and 4th storey I think a hi mod would be great.😃👍🏼
Very good demonstration of that brush head and pole. 🎉 Love the adjustments.
Thanks.
When you’re rinsing, do you rinse the frames down aswell as the glass after scrubbing or do you rinse from the rubber seal and downwards?
Rinse from the frame just above the seal, but don’t get the area above the window frame wet.
Hi Ashley. What is your go to pole?
I have different poles I like for different situations to be honest. I’ve got certain days work where I love the nLite and it helps me get through the day more quickly, but in other places I find it can be awkward. Gardiner poles have the most accessories.👍🏼
Wow, that's a wobbly pole!
Don’t forget that a couple of these examples are third storey windows, any carbon pole would flex a bit at that height, especially reaching out to the side. Maybe it’s the camera angle too, but I would say that this pole is pretty similar in flex to the SLX.😃👍🏼
Great video! ;-) Quick question, can you fit that brush head on gardiner pole? If so what adapter do you need? Thank you!
Yes, if you get a gooseneck with a euro thread adapter you can scream this brush straight on.😃👍🏼
Thank you for the reply! 😊👍
Good video. Fit for purpose pole... how did it feel on the hands and arms? How do you rank the head against xline.
The bristles are awesome, right up there with the Xline. I like the rinse bar combo as well, but the whole thing is a little heavy with all the features and accessories added.👍🏼
Ashley i dont know if you have used the 8.6m 6 section Carbon 24k ? What is it like for all day use? Also, is it possible to remove a couple of sections if not needed?

It looks a really attractive looking pole (That does not sound right i know!) However it also looks thick, clunky & incredibly whippy!
It is a chunky pole, but those are pretty high windows so there is bound to be a bit of flex from a carbon pole at that height. I would actually say it’s pretty rigid, similar to an SLX.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thank you Ashley
Great job Ash. The new kit is doing you well. Let the sunshine in!
Thanks for your comments.😃👍🏼

@@aemackintosh thanks so much for the advise,Ash. Always appreciated. 👍
sorry Ash If I decide to clean windows as well should I still go with the Gardiner or something else
The Gardiner pole has the most accessories available for any pole, so it’s a great place to start for a whole range of tasks.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thanks again
Lots of comments about the rigidity of the pole Ashley, and that's without the extensions on it! Is there a lot of whip on it?
I think it’s partly the camera angles. I think it’s actually pretty rigid for a carbon pole. A couple of the examples in the video are third storey. Any carbon pole would flex a bit at that height, especially when reaching out to the side. I would say it’s pretty similar to an SLX. I would like to try the hi-mod version of this though.😃👍🏼
Nice video Ashley! How do you compare it to slx and ova8?
I find it more rigid than the Ova8 but heavier. Similar in flex to the SLX.😃👍🏼
The design with the clip on top of the gooseneck to hold the hose back is old-school. The new gooseneck design is rigid inside and doesn't need a clip.
😃👍🏼
I'm just learning. Why the squeegee action with a brush?
Do you mean the rinse? The whole window needs a good scrub, then the dirt should be rinsed away with the pure water.👍🏼
Have to say that’s like using a fishing rod to clean windows, sorry but don’t like it at all esp for how much it cost! Also bulky clips!! gardiner extreme all day long!

Sorry but I don’t offer any hands on training. But I wish you all the best with your business plans. I hope you find my channel useful.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh no worries 😊
those moments you use pole which is more expensive than van and customers crying £1 per window is too much :D
Great video, that pole does look very whippy though.

@@aemackintosh I guess sometimes the camera can be deceiving. Would be interested to see you countdown your top 5 poles in future.
Cheers Ashley 😁🌈 Andrew
Thanks 👍🏼
Will we get an honest review ? I understand you need keep them happy so more products come your way .. I think we would all do the same .
Yes, I will get to it. This pole is a bit big for regular domestic. I have a smaller one coming, so once I’ve given that one a good road test I will do a review.😃👍🏼
Fantastic angleastic. 👍
😆👍🏼😎
Hello Friend! I live in Ukraine . can you help me buy this window cleaner?
You can get it from Window Cleaning Warehouse in the UK, but I’m not sure if they will deliver to you?
@@aemackintosh
maybe you have a link to the website? what is the price for this product?
@@aemackintosh
and more) which installation does not leave limescale on the glass? can you advise which one to buy?
Looks a little less rigid than my Ova8 🤔
I would say it’s more rigid than the Ova8, but those are some tough angles in this video. Definitely a well made quality pole.😃👍🏼
First 2 secs out and looked whippy,,
I’ve been wanting to see this pole in action. So thanks for that Ash. Got to say yes it looks well made but it looks cumbersome and very soft in the top sections. Think I will stick with my gardener 3k and my Phantom Hi Mod for the time being.
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services I’m not sure I’d agree looking at the video (which is excellent) definitely more whippy than my pole!
