Title: Gutter vac
Post by: Terry gunter on May 22, 2020, 09:15:04 pm

Think I’ve narrowed it down to 2 that will suit my budget.what would you say we’re the better out of guttersucker and gutter vaccum systems machines and would you go with aluminium or carbon poles ?

How important is the price ?

Carbon poles will always win out over Ali

Without links I would say both vacs are pretty much the same from China

We've had our Gutter sucker professional kit including carbon tubes a few months now without any problems. We paid £800

Go with GVS and get carbon poles, I own a vac and pole kit from GVS and there kits are better than the gutter sucker.

Or Gutter Force.

Best poles on the market.
Tread on them..drop them.
Tough as old boots.

British made too!

in case anyone was wondering GVS - gutter vacuum systems , these people are not gutter cleaning systems , Nick Day . GVS are a totally different operation , they look quality and the communication so far has been excellent. i wouldnt buy again from gutter cleaning systems anyway even if they hadnt stopped trading  due to zero aftersales. just writing this in case anyone thinks they are the same outfit as i did.

The thing i like about the look of these GVS cheap vacs is that they are 51mm hose rather than the standard 38mm on most budget vacs. www.guttervacuumsystems.co.uk

Mate.   Do not buy. Aiminium. Poles.  You will be sick after a few cleans  till you have enough to buy carbon.   

Would you clean windows with an Aly pole.      Yes.  But then you have to upgrade

You will only have to upgrade. When you have realised your mistake. 
I used mine 3 times.  And was miserable.   Then I got carbon and now I feel. Calm no pain  in the back or wrists

Yes agree on that , i had some before i had an omnivac with ali poles though they made them sound sophisticated by calling them aircraft alloy... ::)roll

Hello
I would buy the gutter vacuum systems
“Panther” with 35 ft carbon pole set.

I have the sky vac Atom and done 17 jobs so far.
Advertised to my window cleaning customers paid for machine in 8 weeks

Big thing is a machine with 51mm side cyclonic entry

I bought this kit off gvs and adapted Atom from 38mm to 51mm

The Panther competes with the Atom
And what seems to make it better than the Atom and the gutter sucker junior is the cyclonic entry and 51 mm poles

The wheel base on Atom is poor and it falls over a lot when in use

If you choose gutter sucker senior then adapt to side entry

Good luck 🤞
