Here's a picture taken of turf 2 feet in length  lifted clean out of guttering at 25ft ... Very light weight poles and strong as an ox

Nilfisk1800w 30t from machine mart about £113 properly the best filter system on a vac I've used
5 metre vac hose 50mm diameter with cuffs don't used 38mm it's rubbish
Then carbon a pole set of choice  :)
I do a lot of guttering jobs and carbon are number one choice

Foam filter vacs don't seem to last me 8 months to 12 months they past to much small  dirt through the motors and have shorter life..
Nilfisk I've had maybe 14 months and still no lost of power the filters designed not to past anything, hope this helps mate..
