Leifheit 41520 Duster XL

Leifheit seem to be the only company that make really long telescopic poles for dusting high ceilings. I bought the pole a couple of years ago with one of their nylon bristle brush attachments but I needed something softer for light fittings etc. The Extra Large Hand Held Duster is brilliant. Big and thick, it picks up dust in an instant and is a joy to use hand-held but best of all it clips onto the pole so can be used in those really hard to reach areas too. A quality European-made item unlike any other I've come across (and I've searched long and hard). I totally recommend it.

The shape of the duster, now that I review it, is not quite ideal to the purpose as, you will mostly be using the tip of the duster, using the fibers closer to your hand is sometimes awkward. Nevertheless, it does dust effectively, and it stood up to its first wash quite well. Also, the spine which holds the fibers is flexible, I can see how that would be useful, but it doesn't fill me with confidence in regards to the durability of the dusters construction. Either way, I'm glad to have it, for the price it is worthwhile.

I have used this on a kitchen blind and it worked really well. i could clean top and underneath of two or three slats at a time. It's still a bind having to clean them, but using a purpose made tool makes it much easier. Delivery was good. Recommended

Really disappointed with this, just seems to push the dust around, does hold on to some dust as it has got dirty very quickly, can see the dust especially in shafts of sunlight being pushed to the end of a shelf and just falling to the floor, will go back to using the disposable Pledge ones as they seem to work a lot better!

This is a really great quality duster compared to others I've purchased. It also fits onto the pole I bought with another accessory from this brand. Love the color too!

Thought it prudent to invest in a 'proper duster', that is, non-disposible since we're quite addicted to the excellent Pledge Fluffy Dusters that, for some unbeknown reason, is only ever sold disposable. (That, and their quick dry wipes/clothes for everyday.)I just have to give the rooms a quick sweep to see the difference. This handheld one is simply pathetci after the first use/wash. There goes another waste of time 'researching' the market, like some possessed student making a deadline, for the best, anti-static, micro-fibre duster currently sold on the market. They don't exist.If they do, would some informant please advise me?I can go through a pack of the Pledge dusters in a week. On a daily job, they go a satisfactory shade of grey. That makes one happy. This Leifheit duster was given a fair test, on particularly dusty items and areas. It annoyingly creates a flurry of dust but not as bad as some other cheaper dusters.Save your money.

When fully extended this duster reaches great heights. It can even clean the arches above the stained glass windows. I have washed it by hand in the sink, but I do not think you could put it in the washing machine.

This is a very sturdy duster, which is very easy to use because of the length of the hairs.
