HTLY SPR Feather Duster, Extendable Duster Microfiber Long Extension Pole Scratch Resistant Cover, Washable, Cleaning High Ceiling Fans, Blinds, Cobweb (Red)

Happy with the purchase

Not robust..too much brittle

Needed this to get the cobwebs off the high ceiling on the stairs. The extension is perfect and felt strong enough to exert pressure getting into the corners. Very happy with this and would recommend.

Update on 01st August 2023————————————Three years later, I am still using the feather duster. I was mistaken about its durability.Yes, I am a bit careful when I use it fully extended and all what I wrote about it still stands but the fact remains that it is stronger than it looks and I am happy to admit I was wrong. It also deserves it price. I use it a lot.I am now giving 4 stars instead of 3.Original review:I like the concept of it but it definitely needs to be improved.The pros:1) It extends far! This is a plus. My landing has a very high ceiling and I would need a stepladder to get rid of dust and old, random cobwebs while moving the ladder along. I am 5”1 on tip toes but today, I dusted clean the wall, ceiling and corners.It is also perfect to clean my son’s ceiling hoist.2) At its normal length , it is ok. Not great. Extended just under half way, it is also quite stable. Not totally but it will do.3) Easy to clean as you go along. I keep a plastic bag next to me and simply shake or rub the head inside. All the dust fall into the plastic bag. To be more eco friendly, you could use a reusable cloth bag but I am getting rid of all these unwanted plastic bags accumulated over the years.The cons:1) When fully extended, it is very weak and wobbly. I would advise to be very gentle. The handle consist of a several small telescopic tubes that you pull out to get to the desired length. When you want it to its full length, the last 3 or 4 tubes are extremely thin hence making the duster head heavy.2) The “little” plastic cap on top is too big, so it does scratch the wall which deflects the purpose. What I did was to stick double tape around it and stick some of the microfibres on it. Maybe the next time I will try slipping a microfibre glove over the duster and keep it in place with an elastic band. Less than ideal but it might work.3) Misdescription - the head doesn’t bend when extended and don’t try to force. You’ll break it! Trust me on this.4) be careful with narrow places like back of radiators. If you try to force it to go down between the wall and radiator and it gets stuck, the head will break from the handle and you will only get the handle back up.4) As mentioned before, I doubt my new duster and I are in for the long run. It is too flimsy.5) To finish, the microfibre is not of best quality and a bit sparse, to be honest. I have a Vileda one (not extendable) and the head is very fluffy.Would I recommend it? NOI think it might be worth to go for a more reliable brand, even if more expensive. In my opinion, this one is overpriced because of all the reasons above and moreover, because it is so flimsy. Knock off £4 at least to make it £4.99 and it would be a fairer price.I gave it 3 stars but ONLY because I dusted everywhere I couldn’t for years so I am grateful for this. And for the concept.The design is 2 stars. The quality? For the price, only 1. Had I seen it in a shop, I wouldn’t have bought it, not at £8.99. No way. Not worth that price.

just what I wanted
