you need one that has 2 motors i think, u need to have a lot of sucking power 30 + feet from the motor, i dont think a house hold one will do it will probably have to a industrial one, prob a newmatic,  i was thinking of builing one using a garden blower/vac,  the prinicapal the same, just got to attach a hose on to it

[geefree]

Thats what i was thinking, are the petrol hand held ones powerful enough?

[daz1977]

i dont know, as havent look at it that much   it all depends on what money you want to spend,  where you looking at buying it from

I was thinking of getting a stihl model as gutter kits are available for them,... but not sure if powerful enough...

also concerned that customer wont be happy if only half cleaned, as i am still undecided if this method really is the way forward..

broken roof tiles, twigs....and well bedded wet clogged debris etc...

and some even have a full flower bed growing in them.

maybe the only way is up them ladders to do it right.

u might get a few that are  pain to begin with, but what i have started doing to my custy that have cons and that is offering a sort of plan where they get there gutters cleaned windows and con done for a fixed price every months, instead of windows and cons and gutters when dirty, that way i can keep on top of the gutters and con,  i usually do them every 3 months doesnt take me long, but its easy as i can keep them clean instead of a pain in the backside job once a year

and custy knows how much they are spending each month
