We do lots of houses, I've never used a trolley. I could see how it could potentially help at one or two windows across our entire round. Maybe 0.1 - 0.2%, not really worth it IMO.

The DIY one probably works well enough but it looks just like what it is.
Also looks like electrical parts are exposed to the weather.

I use my own diy 25ltr trolley on all my jobs, I used to be van mounted but working in the seaside town of St Ives there are so many jobs i cant get to with a van mount.
And its much safer to use as i take the trolley onto the property im working on, so less chance of a member of the public finding an excuse to fall over the hose. In the height of summer its madness to get around the town.

Makes sense for you to do that. I know a few guys who use backpacks all day n have no interest in van mounts.

These are among the reasons why I have never gone to a van mounted setup.  There are too many places on my round where a van and hose would be out of my line of sight for too long for my liking.

I love it, on my round I couldn't manage with a van mount, Hell putting a tank on the trailer would be no problem. but the trolley has served me well for 12 years.
Parking issues are becoming a real problem, no problem with my 50 litr trolley, it has 50 meters of hose on it's reel and twin pole carriers. A complete garden shed job, still working as well as ever and earned me well over 250k. Same surflow pump I started with, never a problem with it. I did change to the digital Varistream. a superb bit of kit.

Much the same with me! I will probably get knocked down for this post but at the end of the day its whatever system suits you best.
I use a Gardiners backpack on an Einhell trolley, have used it for years.
Pull up, backpack out, fill backpack from tank in back of vehicle, about 40 seconds to fill with a bilge pump, round the back of the house, backpack halfway, my pole hose reaches the whole of the back. Clean back move to front, backpack halfway, clean front. back in car, away.
No tangled hoses, no reeling in and cheap. No complaints.
A full fill will do a regular clean with flow control set just over halfway.
Suits me anyway and I wouldn't change.
