One word - superb

Bought a used P1 Worldwide that on delivery had an 'unlockable' adjustable leg mech on the upright which rendered the pod useless in effect.

Spoke to Mikey W at Solar and although outside of their policy (was not purchased new) they agreed to look at it; only posted it yesterday - they've fixed it today and are sending it back already. . .

Fantastic service - how to keep customers brand loyal!

I bent one of the short legs on my pod, 100% human error. 1 message where I asked about buying a replacement and they sent me a new one in the post FOC. Doesn't get better than that. It's why I now have quite a bit of their gear

Jag are good - Solar equally so!

Just received faulty part back (48hr turnaround) and got some stickers and a free tub of pop ups!

I have never had a response to a message or email from them let alone them answering the phone. Seems to me like they are impossible to get hold of.
