polar vac do a vac for about £600  its cheaper but no where near as powerful,  but there are quite a few people on here who swear by them so they must be ok.

eastern trading also do vacs on ebay for a decent price but I don't know anyone who has one

I have 1 its not exactly the same its branded as KIAM but its the same, I got it from ebay 3000w (triple motors) £300 delivered
also got a wireless camera & handheld monitor from china for £95
got 6 x F16 base sections for the pole for £310 which added to the 2 allready owned gets me to 45' (50' if held at chest height)
and also spent £12 on 40mm waste pipe joints to make up various attachments

I do have a 3.2kva genny coming to me for £125

All in I think it will have cost me about £850

Shame the Polarvac doesn't come with aluminium suction hose and attachments.

swinging regular 50mm vacuum hose around on the end of a WFP at height doesn't seem as efficient as using ridged aluminum suction poles to do the same job.

I'm surprised the company that assembles the Polarvac hasn't designed proper poles to be sold with them.

We looked into this, however decided that with rigid tubing you loose a degree of suction so therefore would need to up the wattage power of the vacuum, so therefore the price would rise, thus loosing our budget minded gutter and gully vacuum system, so if its rigid tubing you need i would most definately go for the omnivac as its a fantastic bit of kit rather than the chinese copy of it.

Our tube running along side a pole has worked very well and have many happy clients, as well as using these systems for our portfolio of apartment blocks so therefore can vouch for the polarvak personally aswell as having many clients who can also vouch.
