why would anyone want o buy from Ionics ?

because they make top quality systems thats why.

however I have tested the upkeeper and found it to be too big and bulky,   but looking forward to the newer version as Ive heard some good feedback about it.


I have the Omnipole guttervac and after a few teething problems Ive now found it to be a very nice piece of kit and does exactly what it says on the tin and has moren than paid for itself since I bought it in September.

cant really comment on the other one   sorry yes I can    its to small and not powerful enough for bigger jobs.

Upkeeper looks brilliant from the vids I've seen.

The reviews are dismal,.. VERY dismal. The omnivac beats it hands down apparently.

Upkeeper imo (from haqndling it was nto a good one) the let down was the pole far to wide and could not go up to height.
I have an omnipole and I looked at the tree available, upkeeper, omnipole, and brodex. Omnipole got my money.
Unless the polar vac is alot better sucking with a smaller motor,  than of the 3 x motors of the omnivac I would not even think of buying it as the omnipole one can struggle at height add smaller it would be worse wouldnt it ?.
