i use it for some jobs. It will be tiring after a while. I have done some jobs where i have used it  for 3 or 4 days in a row.  I was aching after!
As for being difficult, when you first start using it it can be hard to control, but you get used to holding them and your control of them gets better with time.

They are hard going to be honest.

What do you intend to use this for?

i am getting quite a few fascia cleaning jobs, i built myself a telescopic sprayer to apply chemicals which is great. When it comes to cleaning it off i then have to revert to the ladder which is slow,tiring, dangerous, wet and a pain in the.....

they have good and bad points,tbh,handy to have,but not for long jobs time wise and the belt you can get with it is a waste of time.

Oh, and watch out for the very last section,if you have the wall washer on it this can snap it,becomes to heavy

i find when cleaning fascias using WFP is best. Sometimes high pressure isnt good enough, it needs a scrub. The pressure washer is good for getting thick dirt off and cleaning the brackets and under the guttering mind.

you need to spray them with tfr first then leave to dwell then rinse off   :-*  you dont need pressure too much.

i usually spray with tfr, leave for a min or 2 and then power wash off. i find wfp too slow and fiddly, though i do use my longest pole to reach some high peaks.

Those prices on that website are something similar towhat i have been qouted over here in northern ireland
