Autobrush. Too heavy by far, though the idea is very good. Gave mine to a new guy just starting up.

Depends what brush you fit it to. I tried a hogs hair hardwood centre UK made brush from the States, too heAvy and to much friction to be of any use except washing the car, for which it quite good on the Ferrari  ::)

My trailer.   :'( :'(

Absolute waste of money - the only things that were any good was the Shurflo pump and RO unit.

The trailer is about 4 years old, used for 3 years, done about 8000 miles, rustly as anything, on its second set of wheel bearings which are now knackered again. Trailer mechanic say reason for bearing failures is that the axle is overloaded.

The pump box supplied was a water tight electrical box with a bypass tap and on/off switch. One of the reinforced plastic hoses split in the pump box and filled it with water. Stripped pump and left for a few months to thoroughly dry out - still working fine 2 years later.
RO unit supplied was supposed to be a 300GPD but had 3 x 75GPD membranes fitted.
Success is 1% inspiration, 98% perspiration and 2% attention to detail!

The older I get, the better I was ;)

I can't imagine the hassle of a trailer on a domestic round! I've not got the longest of fuses, I would have smashed the thing to bits by now!

That lock looks quite valuable - good idea locking some scrap metal to it so nobody pinches it!

Its extremely annoying i had one and fell out with it, but its meant my change over to wfp has took loads longer as i lost money with it :( and didnt like the idea due to the bad experience with the trailer, too heavy and large to manouvere

all my wfp gear has been great but I have to say I disagree with the comments about the metal hose reels I love mine!

'Slip & slide' bought off the internet. Too light, used a couple times and retired to the shed never to see daylight again.

AGREED!

It has to be my fold up hazard signs, the slightest breeze and they are either on the floor or halfway down the street.
Reaching parts traditional window cleaners can not reach.
