Yes, i have a Polarbrite Gutter Vac, and you HONESTLY will have noproblems with it, an no i am not Craig's Salesman! 

The price is really great value, but if you wanna spend all that money on a branded guttervac ??

[Sean Dyer]

i have been doing loads of gutter cleans recently and cant see how you can clean it out proper with a vac???

i have been pulling out tennis balls, huge lumps of slate, and tile and thick with moss, mud etc

I am doubting it ? I think i need proof? plus im pretty rapid up and down the big ladder did two big terraced houses today and cleaned windows that not been done in a long time in less than 2 hours...

[Rogue Trader]

anyone else actually bought one??

So, Craig can I take you 'are' Polarbrite ?

[Craig Trevain]

I am yes, HI

Hi, I think you have a customer.

Ive been looking through your site a bit, is the 2400V the only model gutter-vac you do?

Also can you briefly clarify the means by which they are powered. Do most people power them via a genny or a transformer plugged into the custys leccy supply?

[Craig Trevain]

The 2400 W is the only model we use for the Polarvak,it has a twin vac and has plenty of power, it comes in both 230v and 110v, we have some that have purchased one along with a genny, although most have purchased a 230v and plug straight into their customers electric, then others who work on site or within a commercial envirement use a 110v with a transformer.

[Gleaming windows]

No difference in price between the 240 and 110?

[Craig Trevain]

No both come to us at the same price, so we sell out at the same price.

We have purchased some 2000w Star Vacuums so we may bring out a budget Polarvak aswell, although the beauty with the Numatic model we use is that they know exactly what they are being used for so therefore the two year warranty is safe.

people that plug straight into their customers should  be using 110 volt, why ? this is classed as commercial use  : commercial in another term is business use, the said window cleaner cleaning out the gutters is using it as a business tool. It is then  used for a commercial job.

Why do supplier dress this up ?
Please be honest, you just supply to your demand

and people wonder why us window cleaners get a bad name when suppliers sell the wrong tools for the jobs to people that do not know the corerect means of doing things....................  :

this was not directly aimed at you by the way, but many so called suppliers are mis informing people just to make a profit, this winds me up, I am all for making money but in an honest way.

p.s please correct any points that I am wrong on and I will say sorry to each, please povide the reasons as this interestes me a great deal.

Ian if you have a 110V machine and plug it straight into your custards leccy supply it wont work.

If I buy one of these the thing to do is buy the 110V model with transformer and use custards leccy.

Dont use 240V outside, your asking for trouble.

What height do you recommend being the max to use this on, is the hose heavy as those hybrids arent light on there own let alone with a thick tubing added to it, you might have another custy here as ive been on the look out for another comoany selling this sort of thing, im in the market for the vak and generator as couldnt think of anything worse then having to find a plug socket at a block of 60 flats as im sure they wouldnt be too happy

Matt, I am not stupit, I know about volts and custards  :

[Craig Trevain]

we cannot force customers to buy a 110v or a genny, we inform them of all the facts.

Carpet cleaners use a 230-240v machine and plug straight into their customers electricity, however when they work on site or at some commercial props they have to plug into a transformer.
