Why do I get the impression this looks and sounds like a 'White' Vax machine with some solid tubes. ;D

If you read the discription it say says suck and dump, this means you suck onto the debris and then pull it out of the gutter and turn off the vac to drop it onto the ground.
If it was possible to clean gutters with a 1200 watt motor with 32mm hose we wouldnt have botherd using 3 x 1200 watt motors with 52mm hose or spending thousands on patenting the design.

I dont expect your mate would have paid £300.00 for a second hand 1200 watt vac though.

It don't matter what machine you use because if the muck in the gutters is frozen solid, you won't earn a bean!

Frozen solid I can say but we used the Omnivac to remove solid strips of well routed soil with plants growing  from some commercial gutters last week. No problems for the machine at all. I though we would be playing dump and suck but the Omnivac consumed it. The Omnivac is exceptional.  ;D

You mean the omnivacuum can remove lumps of solid ice stuck fast to the inside of the gutter? Does it break it up into little pieces to be sucked up down the downpipes?

"frozen solid I can't say" sorry typo. Not tried to remove Ice yet, but I would imagine if the surface could be broken with the nozzle then no problem, If it was frozen solid I would leave it for a warmer day!!!
Its a powerful machine, most domestic jobs we don't even use all three motors as its too powerful. two motors is good for most domestic stuff  unless the gutters are really full. Three motors for wide commercial gutters and height work.

No he wouldn't, I do know its powerful, and does a good Job, as for the one pictured above I wouldn't give you £50 for it, you'll end up with more problems than its worth, I may give you £50 Just for the hoses Though ;)
