thinking about buying a gutter vac system. Would you buy 110v or 240v system to run off a generator?

this has nothing to do with this thread. i believe i have just brought your old van ( premier window cleaners) just wanted to know if you had any previous gear box trouble with it. it needs to have new bearings i am told. just wanted to work out how long these new ones will last me. any history would be appreciated. thanks

the 110v one needs a more powerful genny , i tried to go cheap and had to take it back to upgrade , if you go for a 240v one you can get away with a Loncin lc6500 generator £487 delivered if you go for the 110v then you need a a loncin en6500 around £635 or a honda around £1000. I went for the 110v for safety (you can die using 240v (apparently) and also so i can be safe in the knowledge that if i am ever asked the question on commercial contracts then i can be sure that my answer will sens the H and S guy away smiling.

I bought 110v solely because the Genny that came with it was a HONDA, starts first time every time. Glad I did now as have no worries working in rain.
