unfortunately a lot of companies get bought out and just have both brands operating.

several hotels i work with same owners different hotel names.

several rental car agencies owned by one company

even chuckee cheese and peter piper pizza same company

its crazy

Does that mean you could upgrade your existing Xero rather than buying a whole new pole? That would be fantastic.

Thanks, Jeff. My videos are either answers to people’s questions or to show solutions that we’ve learned over the years. I personally use a simple homemade system. Here’s the video…RO DI Window Cleaning System - YouTube

Sorry for the late reply to this thread, but does anyone have experience with the Reach-It poles at 4 or 5 storeys in comparison with the Gardiner or Unger?
I noticed that the Reach-It Warrior with the crazy upgrade pack (3 brushes, goosenecks, & more) is near the price of the Xero Ultimate with just one brush. I am a big fan of the constructor brushes & use them regularly. Just haven’t tried their poles. Any insights from actual users who have experience with them would be super-appreciated : )
I currently have a Xero Pro 40 & a Gardiner Ultimate 46

Seems like people on this forum don’t like reach it or any of their products. Probably not the best place to ask

We will have new sections available to fit the ultimate by years end. The additional sections coming will allow you to get to 65 - 70 Feet.

Get a Gardiner or Unger - They are far superior products.

I did own a Reach It and used it at 6 floors.

Soon as I opened packaged it was very confusing what goes where and how to assemble everything. Came with smeared rough paint that dried to the packaging. Metal gooseneck was heavy, constructor brush was shooting out 1/2 dozen nozzles in 1st hour.

Heavy and flimsy when extended at 4 floors, really bad at 6.

I sold at a loss and bought Gardiner Ultimate 74 and now have 2 of them and 2 46’.

What is in the Tucker 45? What type of hi-mod ? 42 msi? is that as good as 63Msi which is in the unger and Sim1pole?

Are you really going to keep posting to sell your pole?

You have an advertisement in many of your posts.

Gets old

No just trying to explain why 63 msi hi mod is the best pole to buy and you can get it here at wcr.
And you ask about the sim1pole 1x12 6 feet each section hi mod / kevlar pole? did you not?
RHG, WCR all advertise their poles in most post here too. Many are confused over what,s really in a wfp for the high price that many cost. 1. What type of Carbon Fiber is the best for the price?
2. How good are the clamps? 3. What is the wall thickness? (Reach IT was 1.37 to 1.6 ud/55 msi/3k )
4.How stiff at 60 feet is the pole design? 5. Does weight matter if the pole hits the building over 60 feet?
6.Much more hype then facts in most post on all social media!
I will do a youtube on design soon with just the facts with out all the advertising ! sim22 is perfect for homes at 3 pounds 20 feet. We water fed all outside and the majority of the time only used 12 feet of the pole. I just feel get the best equipment whoever you buy from because the relationship to cost of equipment to how much you make is like 90% money In 10% for equipment. Phillip Alexander Owner of SimPole

You try selling , selling, selling. Do you realize you are pushing your tall poles to a mainly residential group?

Pushy salesmen really dont go over that well typically.

I’d recommend telling how your pole can help at lower, residential heights. That’s your audience for the most part here.

Better yet, leave the selling to the suppliers.

Phil, you really should ease up on the spammy posts. You’re not doing yourself any favors. Let your happy customers and WCR do the selling for you.

Personally, my 30’ SimPole has held up great to all sorts of abuse over the last 5 years. When it’s finally ready for replacement, SimPole will be at the top of my list for comparison shopping.

Don’t miss the point Phil. I’m not criticizing your pole. I’m criticizing your poor advice for a new guy just getting his business started. Explain why he should spend over $1600 on your 30 footer when he can get the same thing from various established companies for $700?

As stated by this others - you are overselling your product. And, I would add to the wrong customer base. Instead of offering advice that is to his benefit, you are merely offering advice that benefits you. That is bad form in my opinion.
