fork out a little extra cash and go for a 50 ltr trolley instead...the amount of time spent on first cleans YOU will be constantly having to stop to refill
-
18 litres more than enough for a first clean and so easy to carry instead of pulling or pushing a daft trolley!
save loads of time using a backpack!

Perhaps I am missing something, but on john hewitt's site they are £119 + £12 delivery, but on Window Cleaning Warehouse's site they are £119.95 with free delivery?
wcw backpack comes to £152 with microbore fitting and vat mate

i have a trolley and can say backpack is so much quicker to quicker to transport and imo looks far better than struggling with silly trolleys!
van system and backpacks anyday,trolley are just big ugly lumps of metal,take too much room up in your van and are no way near as good as a van system or £115 backpack!

theres no chance at all you could clean a house on a first clean with a 18ltr backpack without refilling none at all!

why??...seems a daft thing to say..i would of thought it would
depend on the size of property and how dirty thewindows were
i stared with a freedom trolley i found it a right ball ache dragging
it around then having to drop the barrel off and hump it over
obsticales,so i turned it into a van system and got fed up of
microbore snaggng.
backpack with ten meters of pole hose best thing i ever did
pick up put down.my works all residential though, if i had
commercial work i would want a van system.
forget trolleys they are a waste of space ;D
