Has anyone any experience using these or know who the best dealers are? Any help appreciated

That way too high in my opinion

Why?

Done 45ft with absolute ease, 60 shouldn't be too much of an issue depending on what you have equipment wise.

And whats in the gutters

I use the grippa poles. you say 45' is that 8 poles you're talking about? I use 7 and could handle 8 but I would be interested to hear from anyone that has used 60'

Why?
Because it's not just a case of getting the poles up there when there nice and clean. It's using them safely with big clods of plant growth etc in the gutter, putting pressure on the plant growth to move it when 60' of poles would be flopping around all over the place. A tiny bit of muck lining the poles would make them really heavy and even worse to control. But I've never used them that long I'm only going by what using 42 foot is like (which I agree is no problem but another 18 foot on top is a lot).

You struggle?
I guess it's all our practise with poles, we use 2 men to set it up, too dangerous for one man at anything like that height.

no i don't struggle and i do a lot of gutters, but there's a big difference between 42' and 60'. however if it's doable i might buy a few more poles, but I would be interested to hear from anyone who regularly uses them safely and effectively at that height.

My boys often use 60ft gutter vac poles heres one they did in Bristol earlier this year

Not the best pictures or video footage - it was raining - guys said it was hard one of the section snapped whilst at 60ft due to clogging up - mud etc
Would have been easier if dry................ This is a grippa Tank 60ft carbon fibre setup. Improvement needed - might try another brand if anyone has any in stock out there and can go up to 60ft - email me.

I regularly clean gutters at 60, 70 and even 80 ft and have only been killed twice!
In my next life I'm going to clean windows from a ladder at 120ft , just to see what it's like up there !
Any other bird brains wish to join me?
