And on really long runs I can just wheel it around the job and put it next to the gutter poles with a couple 5ft section of suction hose it doesn’t need such lengths of hose as shown in the video

I’m guessing your other question are rhetorical as you probably know I don’t have the instrument to measure the actual vacuum so have to go figures on the manufactures website of the PDB , & the power output of a 13hp engine compared to a domestic household supply. There probably is a little leaway in the suggested power

Actually it was a genuine question because lately we have been doing a lot of work on vacuums and pre sep filters and ultimately the lift per CBM they produce. We have been comparing both electric and propane. When you said it was 4 times the power of the largest electric vacuum, you had me worried as the vac to me below is a large electric vacuum and by no means the biggest. Now I realise you were only comparing it to your gutter vacuum ;D
Mike Halliday:
3 phase & engine driven :P ::)roll
we need to use a bit of common sense really, obviously I did’nt refer to 3 phase or bigger as these are not used in domestic situations if you have a bigger 240v vacuum than that the one I pictured I would be interested in seeing it

No I was being much fairer and using common sense by comparing Propane Vs Electric! You can only compare eggs with eggs a Petrol or Propane has to be compared against 3 Phase electric. However we do have the following vacs which are brilliant if you only want 240 Volt
