I brought a 3000 watt gutter vac like this one:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gutter-Vac-/171025509648?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27d1ea2d10It was great for most gutters but would not pick up pine needles and i had storage problems at the time so sold it,it was also quite heavy at times but emptied gutters in half the time,but would be interested in the lighter one if it was higher power.
