Been using the Phantom 22 for a couple of days and already i absolutely love it. It feels so good in the hand, really solid little pole. The cherry on the cake, is the Facelift brush, with the nylon bristles & horse hair core. The scrubbing power is noticeably far superior than any other brush i`ve used. Its a bit heavier than what I'm used to but i think its no bad thing as the brush plants itself firmly down on the glass & gets right into all the corners. Absolutely love the whole set up. I'm sold .....

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

JD Nice one. It is a really good solid setup that. Glad to hear you’re getting on well with it.😃👍🏼

They are fantastic poles but the gooseneck could be improved if the made a swivel for it. I put a Gardiner gooseneck with swivel on mine. Great review 👍

@adamgregory9757 4 года назад

I bought a phantom 25 a while back. but to use the gardiner gooseneck I had to remove the top pole section as is too small to fit into clamp. Same with wanting to fit a univalve it won’t fit inside phantom top section......... gonna use the ‘wasted’ section for trad inside tall windows. Other than that love the pole, best feature for me is that hose protector at the bottom! Crazed me when you get a split. wonder how the hi mod poles would compare to gardiner xtreme’s Nother nice vid ash 👍🏻

@markpayne4067 4 года назад

Think of getting this hi mod pole at 25ft only weights about 1000g so very light. I know it's around £700 but probably worth it. Might not be so hard work and so tiring cleaning the gutters etc. I have a hybrid pole at 27ft and weights about 1700g or so.

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

If you have been using a hybrid you will love the hi-mod. It’s always good to use a more rigid pole.😃👍🏼

@markpayne4067 4 года назад

Have had this pole now for a few weeks. Amazing poles. Makes jobs easier and can do them a bit faster as not so tiring. I'm now fully booked with jobs for 3 weeks with gutter cleaning. Could do with having a employee but I know there are so many problems. Starting to lose work as people don't want to wait. I know you just like to keep it small. Keep going round in circles with this problem.

@JasonDunlop247 3 года назад

ordered the phantom 22 Ashley. I was going to try the ova , as I've heard that's even better. However I was put off by the lack of detail on varitech website. I like detail on anything I purchase. I'm certain the phantom will be a big upgrade on the Gardiners slx 22 though. 👍

@bencavanagh5425 4 года назад

Hi Ashely Watch the video few times. Can you tell me please as you've been using for few months, are you enjoying it compared to Gardiner Poles? Just I need to buy another couple of poles. Thanks again

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Ben I haven’t actually tried Gardiner poles, so I’m not sure how they compare. What I would say though, when choosing a pole, I think it’s important to consider the whole pole system and the accessories available. This will really effect how well you get on with the pole.😃👍🏼

@bencavanagh5425 4 года назад

@@aemackintosh Really appreciate your response. I asked as Gardiner seem very similar design ,but Gardiner are still lighter. Been using Gardiner from.day one, just find they good for most, but not everything. Just wished was a company out there for wfp like Festool for example to which offer great service and true high end performance and service through out. I may have had an areca moment!!

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

I have tried a lot of different poles, just not Gardiner, yet. I find that I prefer different poles for different situations. I must make a video to explain more. I use the Ova8 a lot though, there is a playlist for it on my channel. I love it for domestic work as there are so many attachments and they are so quick and easy to swap over. But the pole isn’t so rigid for higher work.😃👍🏼

@mikesmultiskills2061 4 года назад

I bought the same pole but 25ft last year at the cleaning show,got to say,not worth the money I paid but they have come on a lot better since then looking at your video Ashley,there’s a lot of extras here that are definitely needed with this pole but do they come as standard? I bought the goose neck adaptor kit which is brilliant and I got the new side line brush but I have the same problem with the head movement so gone back to my standard brush. Great video as always 👍

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Mike’s Multiskills Thanks. The accessories are all extra on this. I think the range of accessories makes such a difference to a pole.😃👍🏼

@LorenzoAPadulo 6 месяцев назад

will traditional tools fit on the end of that gooseneck if you remove the brush?

Yes, if you get the right cone tip adapter. I like the Unger opti-lock cone.👍🏼

@crystalcleanexternalcleani936 4 года назад

Looks like a nice pole but I think 6 months atleast of work before you can tell if a pole is any good...k have a streamline xr100 that has the inserts on the clamps and definelty seem to cause less wear on the pole

@wheeler908 4 года назад

I brought the 22ft phantom carbon and found it really heavy and awkward so I've gone back to my Ron thompson gangster carp pole as it's very light and because it's a put over pole when your doing lower windows your only using 1 section instead of having to use all of them.

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Simon Wheeler Carp pole? Are you fishing?

@wheeler908 4 года назад

@@aemackintosh I've been using water fed for 12 years and you just cant beat the weight of carbon carp pole. It definitely doesn't take the stuffing out of you like a telescopic one you just have to treat them with more TLC. 😉😁👍

@westwoodcleaningservices3741 4 года назад

Hi mate, just wondering what your go to pole is each day. And if you could rate them from the three I’ve seen you use?

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

I mostly use my 22ft Ova8 every day on domestic work. My father in law just retired and he has a Gardiner pole and backpack which I’m going to collect from him next weekend. Then at some point I plan to make a comparison video of all the poles I’ve used.😃👍🏼

@westwoodcleaningservices3741 4 года назад

Thx for replying so soon 👍 I’m thinking of getting a new pole but in no rush. I recently put the new phantom clamps on my Phoenix 22 and it’s transformed it. Will more than likely go for a hi mod pole as neck and back has always been issue.

@elfordsexteriorcleaningres5566 4 года назад

Great video Ashley, do you prefer this now over your Ova8 poles which if I remember you also use and rate highly

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Elfords Exterior Cleaning & Restoration I’ve been using this to give my muscles a bit of a rest sometimes. It’s a great pole, especially the clamps. I like the Ova8 especially for its accessories. If only you could combine the two.😃👍🏼

@elfordsexteriorcleaningres5566 4 года назад

@@aemackintosh The reason I ask is that I,m considering which poles to change over too, ideally on mass. I’m actually still using some of my first poles from Ionics from 1998 (then known as OTT) believe it or not! There is always going to be a bit of a compromise if you want to use one brand I guess. I,ve used the Ova8 briefly when help a friend out and found they seem pretty good, my main interest is the anti-twist design, but are you saying they are considerably heavier than equivalent others including this Phantom pole? Anything mind is light compared with the original wfp’s from the 90’s trust me, so maybe it,s not such an issue for me :)

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

The Ova8 is great, I use it everyday. It is light, there is quite a bit of flex in it going very high, but if you don’t fully extend each section that helps.😃👍🏼

@frestonworks 2 года назад

@@aemackintosh Hi Ashley, do you still use the Ova8 2 years on? How did it wear/last? Hugh

@aemackintosh 2 года назад

The Ova8 is great, but because of the shape it doesn’t last as long before it needs some sort of maintenance.

Cannot fit a uni valve I wasted a lot of money and can’t even use it......any ideas???

@squeakycleandave1 4 года назад

lee mappley if you use the o clamps from Gardiner with one ear they do fit but it is tight. That’s what I did for mine👍

@cmonmappleys 4 года назад

Squeaky Clean Dave it’s just the top section of the pole that the uni valve won’t fit through it’s to thin, I’ve got the red 18 ft phantom. Fibre glass one. I’m wondering if I lose the top section and add a old gardiner bottom section maybe that might work and still keep the length.?? Thanks for your input you’ve got me thinking, it’s been in the cupboard for 2 months unused🙄

@squeakycleandave1 4 года назад

lee mappley you could possibility cut 4 inches of the bottom of the thinnest pole so the uni valve will fit inside the next section. The uni valve doesn’t need to be at the top of the pole.

@cmonmappleys 4 года назад

Squeaky Clean Dave cheers mate I think that’s it , might just have saved the pole, everything else about it I quite like, many thanks 🙏👍

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

I made a video a while ago about how to fit a uni-valve to an Ova8 pole. It already has a shorter first section, but if you cut a bit off of yours it should fit in a similar way.😃👍🏼
