should YOU buy an Omnivac?
« on: September 30, 2008, 07:00:52 pm »
Worried about weather you should buy an Omnivac?

Worried about how much it will cost - Will you make your money back?

Well don't!!!  Buy a professional system , generator, camera and all.  And with a little bit of web advertising you will not be able to stand still!!!!!

I am now taking bookings (commercial only) into the first week of December!!!!!

Can you use it in wet weather? or is it too risky being electric and all? What rated generator do you use?

Hi Kev,

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Omnivac just a industrial wet and dry? and the exact same model as what Alex G sells for a fraction of the price?

If I buy an Omnivac how will it generate more work or do a better job than a diy one?

I gather you like Omnipole but I'm starting to think your on some sort of commision.

ditto! i'm heavily interested in the omnivac but there seems to be to much open knowledge of how much work there is for it.

the phrase "if its to good to be true it normally is" springs to mind

its not a dig Kev but why not keep this info to yourself if its that good?

I am a commercial cleaner. The Omnivac is an out of the box solution. I dont have time to mess about botching a system together. I have run my Omnivac along side Mr H's Diy version and completed far more work in much less a time. Omnivacs tooling is superior than the DIY version.

Its as simple as this " you get what you pay for"  Its not just about saving money its about customer service and having the right tools to do the job.

Last month I took over 12K on gutter cleaning alone, work it out do I have time to source all the bits and put one together? I think not, I would rather be earning than messing about in my shed.

I have never been paid commission, the fact that the Omnivac took my business from an good business to a great one with such a little investment is enough for me.  I do offer advice and help to Glyns customers and potentential customers for free - why because I believe in the product and I want to see it evolve.  


Can you use it in wet weather? or is it too risky being electric and all? What rated generator do you use?

Rain or shine it gets used with no problems. I use a 5KVa generator. The generator is kept in a covered trailer, the extension lead has waterproof connectors on and I have used the vac in torrential rain on several occaisions with out a worry  ;D

Because at the moment there are only a few commercial users. Some of the tooling could do with advancement as different profiles of guttering create different challenges. The more users the better the tooling will become just like wfp did. The massive growth of wfp has done me no harm - why should this - just look around - hundreds of gutters that are more like abandoned flower boxes then gutters - There is enough of this work for everyone.

I bet you if you spend the day with me I will change your mind. A bad workman blames his tools - much like I did before I gained the necessary experience. What you have to remember its not a solution for every gutter cleaning task - the skill it being able to tell what its good for and when another approach is called for.

The learning curve is much steeper than wfp  ;)

Hi Mark,

My story is much the same as yours. I had a couple of large clients and I bought the machine for them really. I did a little bit of advertising on the web. Things started off slowly - but now I have got a good reputation and good news travels fast. I now have enough customers to take my business worries away for the first time ever. I have many regular gutter cleaning contracts, many of these companies have given me their window cleaning - cladding cleaning contracts too.

Its growing still even with all this talk of recession - why because gutters still get blocked and damage property and stock - its that simple

You can use 40m of 2.5 cable - They are hard to buy off the shelf like that. So adapted a standard extension reel.
