« on: September 19, 2015, 01:00:22 pm »
Hi all, just found this but can't find any info on suction or anything?
For about £550 I might order one if they'r any good, has anyone heard of it or used it?

I wonder why they didn't put a cyclonic inlet on it.  ???

Apart from saying that it's smaller then it's brothers and it's up for big jobs, doesn't really give any technical info  ???

Looks like it might be a single motor but you're right, no info.

Do you reckon if I got the sky vac 75 for £1300 , I could get a camera from elsewhere instead of the £500 one from sky vac?

You will get jobs that even a 4200 watt vac will struggle to remove sods so a 1200 watt vac to be honest is just a joke.  Therefore I would recommend you carry ladders at all times too and be prepared to use them as guttervac’s are not all what they are cracked up to be.

As for instance this one was quicker to do by ladders than faffing around with a so say guttervac

Yeah I would of had the ladders off for that one too ;D

Gutter vacs are a good bit of kit but ladders are a must to be carried as well as theres jobs like the one Smurf has pictured and also houses with tiles that overlap the gutters are a pain.

The vac looks rubbish in all honesty.. I wouldn't use it even if it was given to me free, great for hoovering out your ashtrays  ;D
Save your money and get bigger.

Probably because they realise the vacs are crap and the mod would cost more than they buy in the vacs at  ;D ;D ;D

You will always come across a few tightwads for sure.

The one that sticks in my mind a while ago a chap thought I was the same firm that came out before. Apparently the chap said a crew of four turned up to clear & clean his guttering fascias, soffits, windows including frames and sills on his million pound bungalow and charged £100. I then asked how long did it take them and his reply was half a day.  ;D ;D ;D
