Your find the budget backpack is no where as good as the standard backpack. Handle on the weekday point??

Have to disagree for the following reasons,overpriced,battery doesn't hold a charge,inaccessable speed control,not suitable if you prefer to carry the backpack,harness rips too easy.

My Shurflo has had a right hammering and it's still going strong.  My yellow WCW backpack lasted about two weeks before breaking.

The Shurflo is the best.  Have a look on e-bay; also look on US e-bay, though you may have to pay import duties.

There is no warranty on the sureflo if you use them for window cleaning. Ask williamson pump.
In my experience the warranty on the wcw ones are great.
