What this means in real life:

  • XERO's pole reaches higher which matters on taller homes.
  • XERO's stiffer pole also offers less fatigue as you work since you aren't fighting it wobbling around.
  • XERO’s return window is a huge advantage if you’re still dialing in what you like in a pole.
  • XERO's lifetime warranty means you don't have to worry down the road if a section cracks or a clamp breaks.
  • Gardiner's pole is shorter if you are worried about packing/carrying in small spaces

Our take

If you care most about total length and peace of mind, the XERO Delight is the stronger all-around choice. If your top priority is a slightly shorter pole (and you’re comfortable with a 30-day return policy), Gardiner may be more appealing.
