I have had one from these around a year ago. Can't complain other than poles heavy, quick delivery

Dirt cheap - the vac alone is probably £350 (3000W) it's bulky though.

Personally I'd get in touch with this guy

I got this one - cheap and cheerful. Heavy poles (aluminium) but I only do occasional.

Yeh i had the 3000 watt .

It cleared most gutters i came across .

The only downside was that it could not pick up pine needles in gutters !

Also it was to big to store at the time.

I bought a karcher 1400w 27 litre set from them about three years ago.  Can't fault it really - I treat it mainly as an add on to existing customers.
As it's only 1400w I've also got a smallish 2.4kw generator.
The Ali poles are quite heavy but you get used to them - the system paid for itself in the first autumn

No, i mean the whole package is cheap - I think I paid about £350 more or less for the same vac without the poles and nozzles.
The vac itself is ok but too big to keep in the van really 'cos it's top heavy. Don't use mine much anymore because I have a smaller, lighter Nilfisk 1800 that I keep in the van. I use carbon poles but they are rather expensive these days.

frank gimme a ring,its a piece of cake and the guy lives in coal pit heath. I changed the drum connector over and I bought a 3 metre length of 51mm hose with cuff.
He will cut off any length you require,in all fairness I wish I had bought more hose now, all cost about £50.
The vac never blocks now,im waiting for a wireless cam and monitor to arrive atm

Trippy, did he change the black plastic inlet? You know, the bit with the deflector plate on the back.

Arr right, you got the Aldi one. I've got one of those and now a nilfisk but I want to source a 51mm inlet - the whole black plastic bit. Most guttervac suppliers fit a cyclonic one - sort of fits at an angle so the crud shoots around the drum rather than straight at the filter.

Where did you get your inlet may I ask?
