I disagree totally with that. In my experience (and I have experience) guttervacs work for a large percentage of work. There are times when ladders are still required.

It won't work the invertor will cut out. A 2000 w invertor will be its 'peak' power. Its continual runing power will be less than that, i know you're gonna say the VAC is 1400 w, but in practice it'll cut off. I've ran a lot less powerfull stuff off invertors and they've conked, and they where 24v invertors.
