Title: Gardiners back pack .... Put off by handle
Post by: Wc Solutions on October 10, 2012, 08:04:11 pm

Lookin for a new bp, having a nightmare ...

Like the wcw type backpack - good handle! Not clear tho! Good flow controller.

Jh back packs - clear tanks! But no flow controllers!

Gardiners - looks very well built! But rubbish looking handle!

Want to go with gardiners bp but major put off by no clear tank and poor looking handle! Owners convince me?

Its not as bad as it looks. I have two fingers through each of the holes. Also i done not feel like your going to pull the lid off, very sturdy

WCW also sell the same one as gardiners with the handle on the lid for £95 , however they call it the budget version, so can't be as good as the more robust WCW one, I use one for carpet cleaning pre spray it's great, don't like the wacky one with the handle on the lid.

Bayersan Back Pack pretty nifty, charged it twice in 12 days use, holds 18 ltr, clear & has 3 speeds.  Think you have to phone as its not on tinternet

hi, i own a wcw backpack, cant fault it , you soon get used to the fact it is not clear by working out when it is likely to run out of water. the flow controller and the battery power indicator is really useful too.
