Post by: brianbarber on March 22, 2015, 02:57:02 pm

For the guys using these

Can you recommend any particular brand, looking at needing to clean townhouses and blocks of flats.,possibly up to 3 storeys.
Anything feature wise I need to look for on these machines?
Thank you in advance.

Mr B

Omnivac - I've had the 4200 watt for over five years now keeps on going and will suck out virtually anything.

I hear the nilfisk alto is good and has a blow option which could be handy got gutters full of leaves, but whichever you get but carbon poles they make the work 4 times easier than ali esp. Three storey stuff

Hi Nick,

I bought your 3000w Gutter Vac with Aluminium poles last year, the 40' £495 system.

I'm happy with the vac but the poles have been a nightmare, particularly when trying to reach gutters above extensions or conservatories.

Do you sell Carbon poles to replace my Aluminium ones?

If so how much for a set reaching 40'?

Also would the current end extension I bought fit on the carbon poles?

Cheers,

K

Sorry,
 Just read your e-mail about carbon fibre tubes. I should point out that are 50% carbon 50% fibre glass.  2 metres is a very poor length for gutter cleaning...they are too long or too short.

Just cut one in half, gives great flexibility that way and the price you get carbon poles for from carbon fibre tubes losing have a length doesn't hurt the wallet too much
