Got the blue one. I do all my work with it at the moment works well. never used it on my back. the straps came off when I took it out of the box. Carry it and save your back. :)

The controller on mine is like a light dimmer switch, so it's really adjustable. You've also got a boost 'on/off' type switch, only thing with this is you have to top up more often. It holds more water than the yellow one and if you have to change the battery the pipe from the water tank (blue bit) dosen't come off and there is plenty of  space to get yer hands in (unlike the yellow one).  Well worth the money.

if they've got'em in stock probably next day, they don't hang about down there.
