take no notice of Matt - he's a student  ;D :P

if you only intend to do domestic then i'm sure polarvak would be fine.

3 storey and industrial we use Omni vac -  expensive but been worth every penny

I would say depends on the size of the job. If its a small house soetimes its quicker to get the ladder out and clear it from there.

I have the full omni-vac set up. I would love to be able to redesign it. Its a good concept but not finally executed.

The poles should be a lot lighter. (its ok for 2 storey. just 3 and 4 storey) The attachments keep snapping (maybe something to do with the tiny pop rivets they use)

The camera system needs to be on its own pole with the stupid clamp and bendy tool gone.

The pressure washer is much to powerful for gutters.

But...

I have made some nice money on the right jobs. If i was to do this everyday i would need better and lighter kit.

Can't gardiners sort one out for us please?
