First impression, not as easy as it looks, my arms ache ,but cleared the gutters nicely . It will be another learning curve . Will be leafleting for guttering soon so will see how much gutter work i get

In  my experience  gutter vacs only work for a small percentage of work , if there is grass / impacted spoilage in gutters, then it is better , and quicker, to get the ladder of and clean them the old way

I disagree totally with that. In my experience (and I have experience) guttervacs work for a large percentage of work. There are times when ladders are still required.

It won't work the invertor will cut out. A 2000 w invertor will be its 'peak' power. Its continual runing power will be less than that, i know you're gonna say the VAC is 1400 w, but in practice it'll cut off. I've ran a lot less powerfull stuff off invertors and they've conked, and they where 24v invertors.
