Title: Whats the best backpack on the market.
Post by: roundbuilder on July 26, 2013, 09:22:10 pm: my surflow has a knackard switch, knackard battery that struggles to keep a charge for half a day and now a knackard pump so chucked it in a skip and am wanting to order another 1 as 1 of my fav bits of kit in the van.
Whats the best for eas of use and with more than just 1 speed.

Cheers.

Post by: DeLuce on July 28, 2013, 07:44:45 pm: I've got the Gardiner Backpack, very happy with it. I don't use it all that much, usually for houses with very awkward access or ones that have dog crap everywhere. But when I need it, it's great. Holds its charge well and has variable speed control. You can choose to keep the back straps on or take them off. I prefer them out of the way. I just carry it by the handle which, as you probably know, is on the lid. I don't find a problem with that myself. Good value for money.

Post by: roundbuilder on July 28, 2013, 10:00:19 pm: I think gardiners it is, i use it as a backpack when i use it so handle on lid is t a problem for me(i hope).
Cheers lads.
