Could you use these poles if you where on a budget?

I used my nilfisk today gutter was cramed with compacted soil and full of water.
Did the job perfectly fine. Was working in tight spaces and I wheeled it around with ease.
Some of the bigger VAC's would of been a nightmare to manover.

Whos electricity do you use? 

do you have a 25 foot extensions to work outside or is there a way to get it to work from your van?

we use 50 metre 240 volt extension leads, we have had a Clarke 30 for the last three years and it has earned us a fortune, gonna upgrade soon to a nilfisk but it will be the one the same as the commercial skyvac, then will get poles, hose , collars etc from grippa tank, the Clarke  30 will go onto the other vanl.

What hose and poles do you use eco?

nilfisk vacs seem to have higher suction specs to others of the same wattage so they obviously quite an efficient design , what i would like though is for them to there twin motor head on a 30 litre body , more suction and still manoeuvrable .

Robert, you seem very knowledgeable on Vacs!

Are these any good/good value?

Or is there an alternative you would recommend?

Sorry for the thread hijack!

[robert mitchell]

i wouldn't recommend alloy poles , although they probably last forever they are very heavy, especially at an angle over a conny etc .

maybe if your built like arnie you will be ok.

my recommendation is the hi modulus vac tubes from grippatank , light as a feather !

they are expensive though at 126 including vat for each 6ft section .

As Roberts says! Stay clear of alloy poles, they'll wreck your joints!
