I'm looking at getting a gutter vac for clearing my clients gutters.  all domestic and all 1-3 storey houses.

what would you recommend in terms of size, and which generator?

[TomCrowther]

It depends Richard. I opted for the flexi-hose, which you use with a strong WFP {screws on the end} but I am about to get the aluminium tubes because the weight of the pole, the hose, the fittings on the end is too much at full stretch and I have had a few close calls, especially in the wind! Three storey is pretty much the max, more than that and you should get a cherry picker/platform.

I wouldn't not for residential work. Too expensive and too bulky.
Use something smaller and customers electric.

Could you link a gennie to this one?

[L.U.K.E]

Just got one of these and found them really good (http://www.guttercleaningsystems.co.uk/)
a lot quicker then using a ladder and safer to use.

Have a go on you own place before using it on a customers house took a bit of getting used to using the mirror at the correct angle etc. Whenever i quote for these jobs i always ask if i can use the customers electric.

Did a bit of research and thought the Omnivac was expensive and too big for what i would need it for
if you are looking at doing a lot of commercial work then Omnivac is the right choice.

after sales not the best in my experience, ordered some pole clamps over a week ago still not arrived!

Tried ringing no answer

[Rogue Trader]

DONT BUY ANY OMNI IF YOU ARE MOSTLY DOMESTICS - i hope that was loud enough for you

But does he ever answer his phone or email?

[Richard iSparkle]

Thanks for all the really useful advice guys 

I am hearing loud and clear not to get an Omnivac if just domestics.

If i was to go with http://www.guttercleaningsystems.co.uk/ which set up should i get to do a good job on 2 - 3 floor domestics?

Thanks again

I would Love to hear people's reasons why not ?

[Dave Willis]

Easy, too expensive, too heavy, generator is massive and waaay heavy. Overkill for most domestics and a pain in the arse to set up. If you fill the drum you won't be able to lift it. I doubt Arnold could lift the genny in the van plus it's a fire hazard if you run it in the van.
Ok for commercial - total waste otherwise.

Use a smaller vac - keep it in the van every day with a normal reel of extension cable.

[TomCrowther]

That's funny. Every time I lift the gennie in and out the van, my balls get a little bit bigger!

heavy geni I agree with, fire hazard it is not unless your a complete tool (not you just in general)
have you ever filled a omni vac full on a domestic house ? because I certainly never have.

I can use ours on commercial and domestics it is 110v so is safe i dont need customers to be in nor leave a window open with an extention lead.

what is the one you have ?

[Dave Willis]

The question was Which Gutter Vac for Domestics?
In that respect the Omnivac is in my opinion too big, too expensive and too heavy. 110v is useless for domestic because you will have to lug a massive genny about for every job.
If you are running a petrol generator inside a van then you will have a fire hazard and a carbon monoxide hazard.

[Dave Willis]

I have had the same thing - DIY with the same unit 3600w
that fell apart after a year. Now have the eastern trading 3000w vac for bigger jobs.
most of the time a 1500w Lidl vac does the job for spur of the moment jobs with S2 carbon poles and custies electric.

I would recommend something between the two to be honest and not waste money on a £700 generator.
