I have the omnivac mate and can highly recommend with 3 x 1400 motors it picks up broken slates, dead wood pigeons, footballs, tennis balls and even a shoe size 9     well mine has anyway  :D

there arecheaper ones out there but you need all those 3 motors on for maximum pick up

Hello,

 We do 3 storey (30ft) buildings all the time and have never had a problem with our single motor systems (Clarke 1400 watt or Kärcher 1380 watt). We've developed these systems so that  both the vac and generator can be handled by 1 person and will fit easily into a van alongside the WFP window cleaning systems. We do the 3 motor Kärcher systems for those who want the extra power but in all honesty have never found we've needed it and we've cleaned thousands of metres of gutters. Also with the large systems you need 2 people to get the vac and generator off the van 1 man will not be able to do it by himself!! We design our systems with ease of use, price in mind and most importantly will do the job!

Oh dear.............




















Omni vac has genuine customers who reccomend them - the others have to promote their stuff themselves...  :-X

Broken tiles with the omni vac you sure? thats the only thing i can never pick up.

the way i see it is 2 storey vacs are good, 3 storey still ok but more difficult and 4th storey make sure your charging well as its hard work.

the camera design is pants and should be able to properly bolt onto the hoover or other pole. the attachments are not put together very well. the power pole is to heavy and the pressure washer is too powerful for gutters

saying all that i have made some good doe with mine but it could be a lot more refined if someone like gardeners could redesign one with their poles

I've cleaned to fifty feet with carbon poles and a 3600 vac - relatively easy on my own too. My poles show no sign of wear after months of use.

Hello,

 We've advertised an ex demo 3600 watt Kärcher and generator in the used equipment section on here, might be of interest to some of you.
