Maybe time to get one of these.

What would you suggest .. thinking capacity more important than looks.

if you buy the wcw one .dont forget to seal the gap between the top n bottom part ,to stop the water getting on the battery fittings n rusting them off .olso on the silver controller undo the screw holding it on n push some sealent into gap to stop water getting in or the cotroller will pack up .   ps  as a xtra precation i put a tupper ware container over battery just in case ..as u can tell from above i have had a few probs with mine .. mind you i use mine monday to friday everyweek so it has a bit of useage   tacky

Used a gardiners and wcw backpack.

wcw - great handle for carrying but not that strong

gardiners - handle not as good as wcw but is very strong & sturdy. Mine keeps going over in the van and its still as strong as the day i got it

just been looking at the gardiners backpack (18 litre) and the gardiner trolley (33 litres i think) does anyone use these? I assume you would have to niy the gardiner wfp and brushes etc separately.  The system itself looks decemt as a starter, im only looking to do upstairs windows to start with ie those houses that i cant do now due to no access with a ladder to certain windows etc.

Any feed back on these fellas much appreciated - ive also seen the wcw version which looks decent

Thanks in advance

Steve

thanks tacky, will do that when it eventually packs up, or may even put my own switch on,  but at the top.  :)
