DocaPole 2m - 7m Extension Pole – 24 ft Multi-Purpose Telescopic Pole // Light Bulb Changer // Paint Roller // Duster Pole // Telescoping Pole for Window Cleaning, Gutter Cleaning, and Hanging Lights

Product Information

Apart from a couple of silly things like this, the Hi-tech window cleaning pool is a decent bit of kit. The five-section pole is well constructed from good quality aluminium and feels nice and sturdy. There is some flex there when it is fully extended to 16ft, especially with the hose attached and the weight of the water, but that is to be expected, and again, there are easy work-arounds if it bothers you. The squeegee attachment can be flipped over and has a long sponge on the rear side, but the squeegee itself isn’t the best and bends quite a lot, making it quite difficult to use at long lengths.

Beneath the squeegee is a removable spray head that you can fill with water, detergent or other cleaning products, but this obviously is only really practical when you’re using it as a hand squeegee and not when the pole is fully extended to its max. Still, it does come in handy. Soft cushioned grip add extra comfort and also insulate the cold water running through the handle... While this can make cleaning a lot easier in some respects, it also adds extra weight to the pole and can make them less stable when fully extended. If you’re going to go for one of these poles, I would recommend spending a bit more on one that is proven to remain steady even with the water on. PriceIf you really want to take the effort out of cleaning your windows, and you don’t mind paying a little extra, the Karcher Telescopic Jet Pipe could be right up your street. There are no rubber coated section for extra grip on this window cleaning pole, again a cost saving thing I would say, but the plastic handle and small plastic sections along the pole are quite adequate and at the base of the handle there is a handy hanging hole for easy storage. Apart from a few little niggles, I still think this is a very good option for customers who don’t want to spend a lot on a water fed window cleaning hose. The connectors for the separate sections are solid, as are the aluminium sections themselves, and the 3 metre range is very practical. Hi-tech’s 16ft water fed window cleaning pole is a good tool that can be made a great one with a few adjustments. What I’m talking about are a few flaws that I found, but was able to find a work around, without too much hassle.

These are the kinds of little flaws you have to expect when you want to save money though, and it’s not the end of the world. You could quite simply buy another basic squeegee on a pole for a few quid and use it separately, and you’d still be saving money compared to many other similar products. WINDOW SQUEEGEE + WINDOW WASHER ATTACHMENT – the dual window washer + squeegee is the perfect window washing tool... There are two rubberised sections on the pole, and this ensures that you can always have a good grip, even when water drips down. This rubber coating feels very good quality and I don’t think it will wear away anytime soon. When I first saw that this was a five-section window cleaning pole, my first instincts is that that is where leaking would occur, but actually those connections are excellent and not even a sign of a drip in sight. They also feel very solid and hold the sections tightly.

The combination of a metal ladder, soap suds, water, and height, is a potential recipe for disaster if you’re not careful, and falling from even a few feet can cause serious injury, let alone a slip of a ladder from a second-floor window!
