Evening all,
It about time I bought a backpack as I have
A number if jobs now that are a pain in the arse
Trailing a house down alleys for a couple of windows ect.
Takes far to long. It's all so for the wife to use when helping
me a couple of morning a week soon,
I don't really no much about these items
I have £150 to spend (would mind one with the wheels on but not a must)
Advise please would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Colin.

Hi Colin. I got a backpack for @£100 and a sack truck from b&q for £20ish. I use it for those jobs which involve alleys etc and it saves a lot of time. One thing to consider is how to fill it because it takes ages from the tank using the pump. I fill a few 50 litre containers and it suits me.

Hi Colin,
We have the ESR16 which is 5 speed and the feedback is pretty good for it. John Hewitt (Extend2Wash) also has it.
We've also used the 18L WCW one, that seems good too.

will last a full day no problem.

I got mine from John Hewitt. The charge lasts for ages and although the one I have is single speed, it is a perfect speed and I adjust it via a small tap. Fasten it to the sack truck via a bungee and it works really well.
