  • In this video I review the new nLite carbon composite 6 metre window cleaning pole and brush from Unger.
    All the opinions are my own and I haven't been paid to make the video.

    That pole looks even more bendy than Kenneth's yellow banana pole!! I like the idea of the swivel but doesn't look like the implementation is very good. Great to see a review that isn't singing a products praises.

      The composite is very floppy but the full carbon is a completely different story being one of the stiffest we have tested on the Cleaning Guide

    Hi Dave, a couple of points, you can use other brushes with the pole and you can also use the other brush with a standard gooseneck. I’ve got the carbon 24K 20ft version and it’s very rigid. I’ve not experienced the problems with the brush/ rinsebar you have. I feel it’s a good alternative to my Ova8, good video though 👍🏻

    I wouldn't buy the pole but I use the brush every day and it can easily be fitted to a normal pole ( See my UA-cam vid.)
    But you definitely need to superglue the bumpers on.

      Your English is good.
      Yes you can fit Unger brushes to other poles. The have a Euro thread inside of them so you can screw them onto most goose necks.

    • @squeakycleandave1
      @squeakycleandave1  Рік тому +1

      I wouldn't get the Composite as it's floppy and heavy, but the 24K is much better. although it's a little heavy it's very high-quality carbon. The only downside is that the clips loosen off quite a lot but that's just a matter of tightening it with your fingers. (no tool needed)
