I think that the gutter keeper seems to be the best all round and will be buying one in the next three weeks ,cheers,

thanks for that have you tried the omni vac im waiting for ionics to let me know when they will demo it for me the only problem i can see with ionics is the height they say 25ft but possibly 35ft does anyone use 1 higher than this

thanks again

I have the omni vac and can go over 48ft with it, and also there is a range of attachments.

I tried the ionics one at the show, the pipes are bouncy but large diameter, you also need ear defenders. I use an omni. whatever its hard work.Also buit my own F16 c/f extensions tubes 3 years ago, vv handy for the higher stuff.
Put it all in its own trailer as Kev Red used to suggest.

I am thinking of buying a gutter vac. But no good without the cctv that goes with it.
Does anyone know where i can pick up a cheap cctv, pratical for a gutter vac?

I use a Gutter Keeper up to 5 stories. I purchased the aluminium poles from Omnivac and fitted them to my Gutter Keeper with excellent results!

If you have a look on their website they have prices. Price depends on what height you want to reach.

I would rather give the Polar-Vak ago.  Price difference of over £500.  For the 2 storey, run of the mill houses I do. I cannot justify paying over £1200
