I'm hiring a gutter vac on Friday as I haven't replaced mine yet.

The supplier reckons you can't use it in the rain as there is a risk of electrocution.

Is that really the case?

Its harder to work in the rain when trying suck up from the gutter. You will be sucking up all the rain water.  Also it makes muck get more stuck the poles and tubes causing blockages.

Of course water and leccy don't mix

I used to valet cars and used vacs and electric pressure washers in the rain.

There's a risk, same with owt in life. It would.most likely just blow a fuse if anything shorted. Crack on

Just stick a 3 bar electric heater next to the vac to keep it dry   ;D

Don't forget to plug electric heater into a wet socket 👍

Sure no problem.... Make sure you stick your fingers in the live sockets to clean out any dirt first...
