This is my second velux pole. I decided to buy another and see how this one fares??? The first has lasted 2 years and the hook on the end snapped in 2. So really I don’t need a new pole I only needed a hook or half a pole. Which would have saved me money. Since I only use my pole when the sun comes out I don’t think it was value for money. As I still have a new pole with a broken hook. On saying that it does the job of opening my windows and closing the blind.

This pole is very flimsy for a VELUX product esp at more than £30! It doesn't have cushioning in the 'grip' part, so it was very quickly scraping the window handles. Our neighbours bought a different brand pole for their velux windows and it was much sturdier, with cushioning in the grip and at a lower price!

Only got 4 stars as should come with instructions. There are two way you could open the window and you need to amke sure you are futherst sawy from the opening bar and it then opens easy. If you have the latest UPVC Velux you can aslo gently open an air vent without opening the window. I had no idea this was even possible. Beats £300+ fitting for automatic solar opening!

Works fine and at 2/3 of the Velux official price - still not cheap for a bit of aluminium tubing though. It is robust and works well. It has 3 length-positions which click into place - alignment is easy thanks to a line on the shaft.

It does exactly what it should. It doesn't feel as strong as our previous pole but so far it has worked fine. The only drawback is that it is not clear how to extend the pole and not easy to judge where to place the extension so that the pin engages in the hole. There are no instructions or marks on the pole to show you how to extend it, or to show what position it should be moved to for it to lock.
