I use the gardiner extreme 18 and the extreme brushes most of the time, a pleasure to work with. These brushes are more than adequate for maintenance work. I have a super scraper too but that is worth its weight in gold.
Pnswindowcleaning I have found this brush pretty good to work with actually. I would like to try the sill version.😃👍🏼
I use the 22 Phantom carbon. Love it! Reaches most gutter heights also so can do it all! Also got the 40 in the back of the van. Used less but beasts the high commercial building windows. (Tom from WCW can send me all they stock! Brilliant stuff!)
Matt S Sounds good. I’m only just finding out which poles I prefer for different situations. Loving the Phantom.😃👍🏼
Xtreme 25, ordered a new one a few days ago. Have one from 2011. Still use section 5 and section 4 and half of section 1 of it. Its my main pole for ground level windows. I always carry two poles on big houses. Do a lot of them.
Edwin Noort Nice one. Are those poles more delicate? On the website it says they don’t advise it to be used with a large brush.😃👍🏼
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services
Yes, most delicate, side impact will break it more easy than other poles. It’s not that they will break because of the weight of a brush. I think a large brush on a fully extended pole (any brand) is not recommended because it basicly does all the weight-saving on the pole undone.
Thanks for the info. So I suppose you sacrifice some of the strength for loss of weight.😃👍🏼
Nice video. Iv got the Gardiner 18 extreme, which is lighter than the phantom at 800g matched with the ultimate brush it's insanely light. The pole it incredibly stiff and strong worth every penny of the £600,😳
Yes, the Extreme is made with thinner carbon to make it lighter, but it doesn’t last as long as a result.
@@aemackintosh aye you have to be careful with it, I left mine leant against a wall and the wind blew it over snapped the top section, that thin carbon is almost brittle 😂thankfully I only lost a few inches. 3 years in and it's still going it's nearly lasted as long as the clx's Iv had b4. Iv got an old phantom that I kept as a spare I use it when the wife helps me out and she has the extreme, it's feels so heavy and bendy compared to the Gardiner. I just wish Gardiner would sort their clamps out, the facelift ones seem good cos they don't wear!!! Having said that I think that extreme brush makes a massive difference, they definitely don't last but are so light I can't use anything else now.
Hi Ash. Great video. 👍 I bought the Phantom 22 and an extra end bung for the 18’. I leave the the bottom section of the pole in the van most of the time and use it as an 18’
The Gardiner X3 Xtreme 18 hi mod is 760gm which I like the sound of and the phantom hi mod 22 is 1000gm. Could be used as an 18🤔
Hi mods are about twice the price though and you do need to look after them a bit better
Squeaky Clean Dave That’s great! I thought you may be able to get slightly lighter, but this is the lightest I’ve used. I’ve realised that it can really make a difference to only use the length of pole that you actually need at the time.😃👍🏼
Clean It Worcestershire I really fancy a hi mod 👍
Clean It Worcestershire what brush are you using on it
Clean It Worcestershire I can’t seem to get on with sill brushes. I’m using the Gardiner Ultimate stiff at the moment when but think I ought to try something different
I only have one pole. Its 45ft incl 10ft extension, from Gardiner. Its still light
Lovely Jubbly 😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh actually saying that my shoulders do ache after a while Haha I might buy another pole like yours , most of time I'm doing houses, thank for all the videos.
That was really the point I was trying to make here. I’ve been using a 30ft pole most of the time when I don’t always need it, so to have a shorter lighter option can really make a difference with fatigue. I think you will be glad for it a few years down the line.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley,
Great video as usual 👍🏼
However I do have a lighter setup.
I have sellotaped a stiff head Colgate toothbrush to around 50 McDonald’s straws.
It’s so light to use however it takes me all day to clean one bay window!
Faz Sadri 😜👍🏼 I guess it’s about having the right setup for what you need at the time. I hate those straws!😂👍🏼
I always use the 80:20 rule, I buy a pole that does 80% of my work and then add an extension for the other 20% of the work. The Phantom hi mod is lighter than the carbon.
julian pierce Nice one! Great tips as always. Thanks.😃👍🏼
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services no problem 👍🏻
Good set up mate iv got the 25ft and 18, get urself a rinse bar easy beats them pencil jets
summer Wills I have got a rinse bar but I find it uses quite a bit of water.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I just find I work faster so don't notice any extra water, seen on another comment ur using the phantom gooseneck is there any way to put that into the gardiner swivel or not?
I might have to give the rinse bar another try. I don’t think you can use the Gardiner goose neck with this without modifying it. It might be the same size, but the Phantom has two groves in it. You can see them on one of the other videos I made on this pole.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh cheers mate, Defo give it a try my rinse bar broke other week and had to go back to pencil jets for a few hours it was like going back in time so much slower
I will have to give it another try.😃👍🏼
Nah! You win... I can't go lighter than that, Ashley. 😄👍
McRae's Window Cleaning Brisbane I think it might be possible to go a little lighter, but this is already like cleaning with a feather!😃👍🏼
760 grammes. Gardiner 18 foot Extreme pole.
😃👍🏼
Gardiner Xtreme 18ft 760g
window cleaning Maybe I will have to get one of those.😃👍🏼
Xline Nano 18ft is 792g
julian pierce Nice one.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley, great video as always. I was wondering what brush you would recommend for fascia cleaning using an ova8 pole?
Nick Cutting I love the Unger square brush for fascias, but it will be difficult to adapt for the Ova8. I’ve recently noticed that Gardiner now do a flocked bristle version of the Supreme brush. I haven’t tried it yet, but that has to be awesome for fascias! And you could easily use it with the Ova8.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Great, thanks so much for the advice. Which do you think would be best to use to clean fascias - pencil or fan jets?
I like fan jets for fascias.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Many thanks Ashley, keep up with the great work on your channel. All the best, Nick.
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Can you get over conservatory’s using a 18ft ?
From the side you will be ok with an 18ft, but occasionally you will have to reach over something and it won’t be enough. I mostly work with a 22ft pole.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley, sorry this isn’t to do with the video, but do you remember what courier Spinaclean might use to deliver their goods?
Thanks
jimmy smith I’m not sure, sorry. If you get in touch with them they are always very helpful.😃👍🏼
So how much is that then ash
Spencer j There is a link in the description, but the pole is £200 and the brush is £30.😃👍🏼
This only feels lighter cos you've used heavier. Any weight trainer will tell you that your muscles adapt. If you had only ever used this set up then it would feel heavy when using something lighter. Hope this makes sense. Is that on a swivel? Great vid.
Keith Baron Yes, I guess you are right. I’ve realised that it makes a lot of sense to use the right size pole for what you actually need at the time. It seems hard to believe that I would notice the difference in a pole even lighter than this, but I suppose I should try it.😃👍🏼
Gardiner extreme pole is 760 grams for 18
What’s the gooseneck you use that dit’s facelift pole and Gardiner brush? Or am I being dense?
Nathaniel Leitch It’s the Facelift quick release which I’ve simply screwed onto the brush.😃👍🏼
The Gardiner Extreme 18 foot pole is only 760 grammes
TheArchitune Ah, yes. I’m not sure it is very robust though?🤷🏻♂️😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh had my xtreme for nearly 2 years, used all day everyday with no dramas. Still perfect, no spinning sections, no broken clamps. Light as anything and I have the extra sections to make it upto a 35 which is as high as I need on my work atm
Sounds good.😃👍🏼
Yea costs twice as much though £460 plus vat, I have gardiner extreme 45ft with extension, might get a cheaper pole like this just for houses. Although some of the poles dont have the weight in description on gardiner
Or you could just remove some sections from the pole you already have if you don’t need them?😃👍🏼
Gardiners Extreme Pole. End Off...... 👍
JD On their website it says not to use it with a larger brush. Would you say it is a robust pole?😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I've been using my extreme 22 for 11months everyday Ashley. It's an incredible pole, so light & rigid , i love it, cant see me ever using another pole. Its Lasting extremely well , still like new. I make sure and rinse it down regularly, to keep it free of grit & spray it fortnightly with PTFE spray. You know yourself Ashley, if you look after something properly, it will last you a long time.....
Sometimes you do just get what you pay for, and it’s worth looking after. Those guys at Gardiner seem to have got things just right.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh They are so switched on Ashley, they put so much into everything they produce. They know how to charge as well of course but as you say, you get what you pay for....
I should try more of their stuff.😃👍🏼
And is that the himod pole?
Nathaniel Leitch No, it’s actually just the carbon. I think the hi-mod is even lighter!😃👍🏼
could i use that with the unger hyflo?
would it all connect up?
cheers in advance
Andy Caspell I’m not sure what you mean, but the Unger brushes are a little more difficult to use with other brands.😃👍🏼
i mean is possible to connect the brush/ pole combi to the unger filter... because ungers carbon pole is well heavy
the thin yellow hose which runs to my unger btush, will it fit on the phantom
Oh yeah, sure, easy. As long as you have the right connector on the end of your hose. You just might need to buy the right one, or an adapter. The Gardiner website has a great range of all the different hose connectors and adapters you could ever need.😃👍🏼
cheers for that... greetings from Germany 👍👍
I think the gardiner xtreme 18 is only 760g
D J It could be slightly lighter. This is the lightest I have used. It’s like working with a feather!😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh 950 compared to 760 is a huge difference. And yes Gardiner have the lightest
Yea but it's about
£500 which is more than double the normal carbon... Would love to try it
I understand that the Gardiner Extreme isn’t quite as robust though? With this video I really wanted to get across the idea of using a lighter pole when you don’t actually need the extra length. It’s been great to get the comments about lighter set ups though.😃👍🏼
Hi Ash, Gardiner extreme 18 is 760g, I'm using the 25 and this very light.
So direct question, are you sponsered with facelift, as are they really better than Gardiner ? Do appreciate your videos. Your advise is helping my business grow.
Ben I’m glad you find my videos helpful. I am totally not sponsored or paid to make these videos. I have been supplied some equipment to try out on my channel though. I will talk about this in a video soon.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thank you. Is ask as so many false / fake reviews out there these days. True honesty is a thing of the passed. With my Experiance it's what works for you is the best way to go.
