It is also hard to beat when it comes to how much range this little beauty gives you. Fully extended the telescopic pole will reach a very impressive 4 metres, and this allows you to use this tool for more than just first and second floor windows. Mascarello have brought us this great little product that is easily affordable for anyone, but still has features more commonly fund on window cleaning poles that are twice the price! The squeegee isn’t quite as good, and if you try to use it with the extra weight of the water, it can actually be quite difficult to use. If you drain the pipe of water though, it does become much easier. For example, the pole is made of rust resistant aluminium and not plastic, it can be attached to a mains source to provide a constant flow of water, and comes with multiple attachments. Even at that full extension, the Karcher window cleaning pole feels strong and sturdy, and because you don’t need to exert any physical pressure on the end, controlling the movement is really easy and also a lot less tiring. The fact that this tool only weighs 2.3kg also helps wit this, as does the free shoulder strap.This window cleaning pole has been made out of the highest quality aluminium to keep the pole’s weight down to a minimum while at the same time ensuring that this is a product that lasts. I know that a lot of people’s first thoughts when they hear the word ‘aluminium’ is that flimsy tin foil we use for cooking. Contrary to that thinking, it is actually a very strong material with excellent anti-rusting properties, and that’s why it is used in so many products these days. The cleaning head is a combination of a micro-fibre pad and a silicon blade squeegee. The cleaning pad is adjustable allowing you to change the angle as you see fit, making those awkward corners all that much easier.

Cheaper modes will probably be made out of plastic, and if you decide to go with one of these, make sure it is a strong type of plastic like polypropylene or ABS. Stability and sturdinessWhile 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. Price 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. Water fed window cleaning poles can be attached to a garden hose and have a constant flow of water travelling through them.

The Chenille microfibre scrubber can be detached from the head when it needs a wash of its own, and reattaching it takes seconds as it is connected by Velcro. So, no need for any clips or screws. Now, will this Velcro wear down with time? I would say that’s inevitable, but replacing it wouldn’t cost much. For less than a hundred pounds, you can be the proud owner of this extremely handy window cleaning pole. And when you consider how much it costs to get someone to come and clean your windows each year, that actually works out at quite a bargain, especially when you realise that this tool can be used for a whole host of other jobs such as clearing out gutters, or cleaning moss of walls. So, it’s good to know that there are products out there that eliminate the need to scale up to those high up spots, seriously lowering the risk of an accident and injury.When you buy lower budget products you have to expect a few differences between them and the higher end models. With this window cleaning pole, it is most obvious in the main material used for the pole which is ABS plastic instead of aluminium. 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! When I head up the tripod ladder it’s more than enough for me to get the jitters! If 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. 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.
