My reelmaster is over 7 years old now,ive never even had to replace a fuse. Its worked smoothly day in/day out all these years...never oiled the chain or replaced the switch.

I don't use the swivel. Mine was around £650 back in 2018. I think they are closer to a grand now.

Personally I think they are well worth the money. I bet i get at least another 7 years out of mine!
Aye stainless steel is about £1200 now, just shy of £1000 for powder coated steel.

Can see the advantages of the swivel if you have a tail lift, but probably no benefit if you have barn doors?

Had mine a year and love it, don't have a swivel, and don't feel I need one.

Personally I am neutral on EVS. My wish to dislike Daz post was the thought of Kemi Badenoch, or someone similar as PM.

Labour are no better.....remember we ve got the tories to thank for lowering NICs to 6% for self employed people which saves us a few quid.

Labour are anti business plain and simple. The economy will not grow with their policies

The tories said they would scrap the petrol/diesel  ban due to come into force in 2030 if they got back into power.....let's hope they get back in....
Shame the site doesn't have a dislike button.

Ive got no desire to go electric at all and hopefully the next government will see sense and abolish it.

The whole green agenda is nonsense.

However, we’ve had a brand new Kia EV3 since August and its hands down the best car we’ve ever owned.

I’m a massive, and I mean massive, petrol head, but there is a place for EV’s.

For our type of work, and EV van is pretty much perfect, unless you’re doing loads of motorway miles.

Disclaimer - I absolutely despise the green agenda and owning and ev is purely based on what we wanted rather than ‘saving the planet’

I like using a diesel heater for window cleaning which will be a pain if im forced to lease an electric van. I just can't go back to cold water cleaning

£10 for the window clean and they get a free wheelie bin clean?

Only have 2 at a tenner and the other 6 are £15 a month. They are all near each other so don't need to move the van, I could batter them out in an hour if I don't chat with the customers. If I decide to move in to the estate then I would need a carrot so i could pick up most of them. 178 houses even at a tenner is a nice monthly earner. I do the wheelie bins for free, take them out night before, clean and put back in the next day. Once the estate is complete and I have most of the customers then I could increase my price. I think that's how big businesses work, they give one a cheap subscription and then increase with at least inflation every year. 😉

You clean the bins on the same day as you clean the windows? What if you're behind on the windows or take a week off? Where does that leave the bins? How do you clean the bins? Where does the dirty water go?

This isn't adding up to me.
There’s thinking outside the box and then there’s being delusional!

So I’m in the process of buying equipment to kit out my van. Sold my current van as a complete window cleaning van with all equipment included so starting from scratch. My last electric reel was the 3D PowerUp. Is the Reelmaster worth the extra money? Also would the swivel base have any benefits? Seems a bit pricey at over £200
