I agree 110v is safer, however know that within the cleaning industry both HAVE TO be available.

Thats why Numatic, Karcher etc manufacture both. And why we to offer both.
the latter are aimed at domestic!! you are aimed at commercial Criag I am not picking on you, it is aimed at every so called supplier that thinks they know the market................


You are the only honest oersion that has steped up to it, I wish you the best, and you get the respect for being honest, maybe this is why you are doing well , I do not know, but respect to you fella

I think suppliers are simply giving you the customer choice that's all. Some people don't want to use 110v because of the extra costs of needing a generator or having to use the custys elecric with a transformer. I can't see a three motored 3600w vac being aimed at the domestic market. (wouldn't fit under my stairs  ;D)
I went 230v originally because I didn't want a generator to lug about and at the time I intended to use the customers leccy.
I've since wished I had gone 110v because I now use a generator and seem to do most of my guttering work in the rain. Many small buisinesses use 240v tools when they come to your house - should they be banned from using them?
Ian, I see Omivac sell both variations, did you not have a word with Glyn about this when you bought yours?

Does anyone remember when Kev Red first got his gutter vac? The posts were on his UK cleaning forum which he has since shut down, but the story was that he got a prototype (or maybe one of the first of a new model) that was rushed out to him,... but when it arrived there were issues with the way it was wired that he said made it highly dangerous apparently!

It was repaired rapidly,.. but mistakes can be made in the factory, and mixing this possibility + 240V + wet weather is just crazy.

110V all the way IMO,.. just get a big transformer for when you do domestics, simples!


The ultimate solution though would be a petrol/diesel powered machine. Nothing on the market at the moment is even nearly suitable though, a new unit would have to designed and built from scratch.
