anyone got one of these.

was thinking Omnipole 3500watt monster but then will need genny as well and budget cant stretch that far at moment so now thinking of one of these.

Can they really do the job on say a 3 storey building ?

I have got one, it came last week...
done 2 jobs so far, and got another tomorrow....
I would say it,s ok for small domestic, which is all I will be using it for.....

I wouldn't recommend it for 3 storey

Only problem i when you get the thick rooted clumps in the gutter !    The kit comes with an attachment to fit on the
end of the pole ( bit like a hook ) to get these bits  out.

I have done five job with clark, and it doe the job ok, but If I was getting a lot of regular jobs would invest in a bigger machine and carbon fibre poles.

I brought the alloy poles then brought a nilfisk 1800 watt vac from machine mart fir 113 quid .

It has nearly twice the airflow and suction power of the Clarke according to the specs .

Only used on two story so far but worked very well compared to my old 1200 wAtt vac .

The alloy poles are ok until you have to reach over a conny or extension,  hard work!

And they can get stuck together at the joints due to the dirt .

I'm using 50 mm alloy,  they are heavy over an obstruction,  get carbon if you can afford it .
