so I have had my gutter sucker junior for 3 months now.
previous I was using a 3000w vacuum with alloy poles which were 51mm diameter. it was powerful and the alloy poles were robust but heavy.
I dont do a lot of gutter emptying, I dont push it to customers, its just used for my regulars that ask for it.
so here are the things I like about the gutter sucker junior...
Its very light , so easy to whip in and out of the van.
the carbon poles are very light..... so easy to operate
the suction is very good on small domestic and so far its coped quite well.
today I did a larger domestic property, where the gutters were full of pine needles... it did struggle a bit today... mainly I think its because the carbon poles are 38mm diameter...... the gutter head did block a few times .. it was a bit of a pain, however as the pole is so light it was easy to bring down and unblock.
so all in all i would recomend it for occasional domestic work .... ie using it a couple of times a week'
if I was doing gutters everyday or commercial gutters I would say it wouldnt cope , and the larger 3000w machine with 51mm poles would be needed

Hi James
I also use a 3000w vac and 51mm alloy poles and must admit it is a ball ache getting it out for 3 bed semis so have been looking at the gutter sucker junior. This review is most helpful. I must admit my concern was over the diameter of the poles rather than the power of the vac. That said pine needles are a PITA at the best of times....... ;D
