What do you guys think of this backpack.

Not a bad little tool for £94 delivered, wouldn't you agree?

Guys, it isn't electric, it has no pump. You have to crank a handle on the side and that gets really boring after about 2mins use.

Taken from the description on their website

"Window Cleaning Warehouse backpack holds 15L of water - charge up and off you go! Can be carried by the handle, wear on your back or fit to a sack truck to make your very own low cost trolley system!

So yes it does use a pump but try and restrict the flow using a tap/valve and it wont last very long at all I reckon. I would go for the Shurflo one if you must have a backpack.

Hi All,

I have my reservations - but lets hear from Gary (SHINING EXAMPLE) what he thinks of his?

Used it today, first time. Actually prefer it to the shurflo!
Because of its shape, and handle, so much easier to manage than s-flo. Absolutely no need to mount on a trolley, even when full.
Switch is on the side at bottom, but this is still better than directly underneath.
Also, can't really say that smaller capacity (15L as  opposed to 18) proved to be an issue.
Downside? Definitely a weaker flow, .. but still good enough I think.
If it lasts a year, I'll be more than happy!

Hi David,
My main weapon is the 500L van-mount. I also carry a 'chic' 25L trolley, and of course a backpack. First thing I did with backpack was to get rid of straps; so in answer to your question David, no, I've never strapped it to my back. Does anyone?
