Re: Gutter Vac - how quick

A genny isn't needed either Ian, just plug it into the customers electricity, I only clean gutters at  weekends and
the odd evening or at times if the customer is in while I'm doing their windows I will ask them do they want their
gutters cleaned while I'm there.
I did plan to get one later on but as of yet I haven't felt the need, you can always get the generator later on if
you need to.
One tip, I was told that a 110v gutter vac was required for commercial work so I now also need to carry a transformer
with me which is a heavy pain in the backside to lift in and out of the van, my vac is a 4.2kw model so I need a
5kw transformer.
Get a 240v vac if your doing domestic work only.

Which vac do you use Sean?

4.2kw sounds like a big n.

What sort of genny would do for a 3000w  vac?

Not sure of the make but bought it from Sureclean, it has three motors at 1400w  I normally just run it on the two motors
as running on the three puts pressure on the 5kv transformer.
But it is quick.

You don't need to shell out that much Ian!!  :o
I got a Gopro, Grippamax poles, Nilfisk and hose and gulpers from Grippa too.
Cost me £800 tops, no more.

Thanks for the recommendation Rigsby - glad you found the equipment value for money.
