Buy one today. It'll be the best single asset you'll ever buy for wfp. Ebay do them for about £80 i think from the states. I'm on my second and they've never given me a single prob. Hope this helps

iv never seen one for 80 pound. i sold one on ebay for 140 and my friends went for 120. personaly id prefer a trolly, they are just as mobile if not eayser to move and a lot easyer to us. You will save hours not having to fill it up all the time.

$160 biscute.

yes good price, but what if something hapens to it, try sending it back to get  fix,  sorry to burst bubbles but its true. buy here in the uk,

True jouk but can only speak from experience and my experience is.......I've never had a single prob. The "only" reason i'm on my second one is cos i kept slamming it to the ground and the plastic cracked. But thats my fault. As for returning items in this country,in my experience there aint a corner of the globe where there's more grief returning anything than ol blighty

i paid £200 for mine max,  i have had no problems with mine as yet,   but with the uk company i am with, i know it will be sorted in a matter of days and not months,  there may be £50- of a saving, geting it from over seas, look at the long term, just my advice

i started with a backpack, so i wont knock it as a start to wfp... but now its sat in the van doing nothing, as i have made a van mount,

i know look at my backpack as i look at ladders...

its simply not worth getting it out anymore....

the ease of pulling a hose from the van is so simple now compared to when i was carting all those containers about and filling the darn thing....

its a good starter, i cant imagine anyone who has a van mount wanting to get one, even for those awkward to get to houses.... if i cant do it with van mount or ladders..... i dont do it,

who wants them jobs anyway..

thats my moan ... sorry.

I think we're both trying to help but from different angles jouk. That's what this place is all about. Sooner have a difference of opinion here than in Hell's Kitchen

I got a van mount now gazza but i still swear by old baccy, although i gotta confess, i think it's a confidence thing i'm going thru. I'm sure with practice i'll be a much happier bunny.

the backpack is brilliant, go any where with it, i have never had a problem filling it, what 1 min if that,

[Pole2pole]

Oh ok, gotcha........took me a while to get where you were coming from lol. Finishing this glarse of red wiinee now. I'd better get some sleep  

[brett walker]

A backpack would work well with a van mount system so it can be used for awkward areas and backs of houses

I started off with a backpack but got fed up with keep filling it up i prefere to use my freedom trolley

But the backpack is a good bit of kit it does the job

night dino  lol my your slow tonight lol

[Pole2pole]

Are you still with the freedom Brett. If i remember rightly, we bought them pretty much the same time. Mine has recently ceased to exist lol. I stripped it and used the pump 'n' battery for the van mount. Glad you're still putting it to good use though
