FaceLife Phantom 22 Is It Worth The Hype

Great video. You can already notice the colour depth and the sound has improved backdrop magic

Is this hi mod or carbon??

Excellent review Dave, I’ve got the 3K 25 ft and I think it’s fantastic value for money, the clamps are the best out there imo.

Really handy vid, as an avid user of Slx poles (but with loads of clamp problems) I've been on the fence about the Phantoms - think my next 2 poles will be Phantoms.

Great video Dave. Nice to hear a review of it after having some genuine real-life use.

Great video mate thanks for the info

Cheers Dave, that's answered a few questions. I went tubeless a while back, that end cap looks like it might cause a few problems. Do you think the Gardiner end cap would fit?

Great job bringing out the pros and cons. 😊 Fatigue isn’t your imagination, I’ve found that using lighter trad tools and certain brand of hand tool cause less fatigue. 😊 I’m sure it’s the same thing with wfp. 😊

Nice comprehensive review Dave , I've had my 22hybrid for the same time and for am everyday pole it's a workhorse and the clamps as you say are great and I think your right about it being close to a Gardiner's pole two great companies

I've got the slx 30,had a problem with one of the clamps coming loose from the pole had to glue it a couple of times.tempted to give the phantom a go .keep up the good vids Dave 👍

Hi Dave yes a great video again well done 👍let’s have more competition ...@ , I have used gardiner for a long time it’s my favourite and the swivel and attachments are the best we are very happy and also with a prompt delivery’s that gardiner provide . What I will say is that I brought and used the phantom for 3 month and the clamps are amazing great pole really good must try 👌

They don't make them in 3k carbon no more only normal carbon as I got mine about 3 4 weeks ago and was confused to why it wasn't 3k

What dya think of the ionic vertigo poles ? Could be wrong but they look a bit fragile to me

Great informative video Dave.

Any good going through balcony rails? Gardiners are awful as always catching and coming undone.

Nice video Dave, Iv had my 18ft phantom Carbon now for a few months great pole, I didn't realise that there was a problem with the section going stiff a lot and I have noticed that on mine, seems to be when they are getting wet, some mornings I cant even open it other times its fine!!! Constantly cleaning it!!!

Great video ! Nice review

hi David. have they changed the carbon pattern. iv just bought the carbon 22 and it looks different to yours

have you fitted your tubeless kit for it yet mate im having issues with mine the top section is not as fat as my slx.
and have you fitted a univlave

Thanks for the advice. Peter

Which one did you go for carbon or Himod as there are a few versions of the same pole

Did you get black hands from the worn pole?

My 22 sticks slot and it's only a few months old .constantly cleaning in 😫

Can you use the standard Gardiner goose neck with this only asking as ive not long brought new gardiner brushes but snapped my slx today

Can I use traditional tools with these poles?

Another great honest video Dave. You can't beat silicone spray for preventive maintenance and ease of pole glide. Disco lighting stand rubber feet are way cheaper than window cleaning spares

Hi dave , I bought my phantom 22 Pole hybrid November 2018 and have not used it yet I bought it on standby ready to replace my Phoenix 22 Pole I've been toying with the idea of using either the slick 2 to connect or the tubeless set up now I noticed window Cleaning Warehouse say that you cannot use this system with the phantom poles is this because it's the updated Pole would it work on mine and or would I have to buy the end cap from xceed only by the way your videos are absolutely brilliant I really enjoy them and they are very informative.

Great review
You need to try and review Lee Martin (blade right) boss carbon poles, amazing poles and great prices!!

Hows the pole doing now? I'm after a new slx or phantom

I've got the phantom 30 carbon pole and it's fantastic always used gardiner poles but I don't think I would go back now.

I've been a real stickler for Gardiners Dave but im actually going to cancel my order of a new slx 22. You've answered the two main questions i had about the phantom . The tubeless kit question & the swivel neck question. I've been really irritated in recent months, with Gardiners lack of customer service & them not honouring warranties on what i think is the very weak & brittle Extreme poles ! So this is the time to break away & try the new boys on the block 👍

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 .....

Stick to gardiner. I had these poles i never like them. Clamps are terrible they come lose when your out working and then you have to piss about with a Alan key. I have had gardiner befour always go back. When the glued clamps are on they stay on for at least 2 and half years. And buy that time your ready for a new pole anyway. And also gardiner have got things in there clamps were after time the pole wears out and the sections move but with the new gardiner clamps you just tighten and that's it. If any body can tell me better poles than the gardiner xtreme super light i would like to know. Even the clx and slx range are better than most companies good poles.

Thanks for you help deciding pal. Much better seeing a review of the pole once someone's put it through its paces

Crackin’ review mate very useful, wasn’t sure I could use this pole with my Gardiner brushes so that’s a big relief 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Dave great video once again 😉 am just starting the water fed system I’ve got a Gardner clx 27 do u think the plant W better than thats a feel as if mine up full reach is still bit weight in it 👍🏻

Top notch review!

Hi Dave , phantom or ionic pole which one would you go for

Hello Dave,is this the standard carbon pole,or the Hi Mod carbon???,many thanks in advance,Simon.

I've had mine now for 18 months I clean it with pole cleaner every 2 weeks and have no issues at all. I too use the gardener swivel it's a game changer. I have an extra section on mine than your 22 it only adds a few grams in weight and I don't find the extra length a problem but I do like the extra thickness it provides as I find thinner sections gives me hand ache.

Iv got the 25 its like a fishing rod very bendy when it's fully out garden is the next pole .

How much do the 22 cost buddy

Great review Dave, do u know if the phantom clamps fit on the Gardiner poles??

Don't like it you can't fit univalve in it
