skyvac's little brother

Anyone using one of these?

If you are what's your opinion of it?

As skyvacs videos mention not all down to just the wattage of machine.

I don't know, that is why I'm asking.
Skyvacs seem popular on here just wondering if the Atom is up to the job.

Thanks.

I find it strange that I can't see anything regarding power output.

It's 1200W, but I haven't got any experience with it

I think it's half of what the sky vac is, I nearly got one but then found out the suction was crap, in the pictures, it shows sucking up milk of the kitchen floor and blowing leaves from gutters ,  think it's aimed at the average housewife.
Iv bought the sky vac and it does a pretty good job, no complaints really, I thought to myself, if I'm going to buy one, I'm gonna buy a decent one , and I'm glad I did.

They are having a laugh surely as that vac is too underpowered for most guttervac jobs...

Does look a little weedy - anyone on here using this one?

That's the same vac grippa sell and I'm sure Lance from sunshinewindows brought two guttervac setups from them recently for his lads. He mentioned in another post was not really impressed with the power of the vac so your assumptions could be right.

Best you don't compromise on the size of the vac you use as 3 motor vacs will outperform smaller vac's by a mile.
I see skyvac are now selling 3 motor industrial vac packages. I wonder why that is?  ::)roll ...Variable flow my arse  ;D

As long as you are happy that's the main thing  ;)
Can I ask which package you got for that?

Are you busy with the gutter clearing?

It's all about the advertising, if people know you clean gutters, you will get the calls. Just gotta get yourself out there....
