Backpack
« on: June 04, 2021, 05:02:35 pm »
Hi, anyone had one of these, and if so what did you think?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q22SGDC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA&ascsubtag=457353530-311-2086772382.1620767439&tag=best_reviews_uk_3-21

Ive always had a Gardiners backpack but not having much luck with them. 1st one packed in well within its warranty period and got it replaced, its replacement lasted just over a year. I replaced that with another and its packed in again, just a couple of months past its warranty time.  ( Gardiners are advising me about it at the mo) .I wouldnt mind if i was using it regularly but literally just one or two jobs a week, sometimes not at all . I still want a backpack as its brilliant for going through peoples properties with, or passageways which are covered in catpoop,whereas a trolly or hosepipe wouldnt be a good choice, but given how infreqentley it gets used im not getting great value for it, hence thought might as well go for cheaper if they're not going to last. Ive read on here of people who swear by them and get great use out of theirs, but its not happening for me.

Yes I've got 3 of these - branded differently and 3 of a slightly different type - they work great as good as a gardiners bp - I do only use them for applying tfr solution for s/f/g and conny cleans - so used maybe 4 times a week for a couple of hours at a go

I have 2 of these. I have had them 3 years and 2 years.
I had them on ebay from china for £35, they took a month  to arrive.  just like darran said , the same type model but just a different colour. I havnt been able to find anymore  ::)roll
they have been used almost daily, and have outlasted a gardiners and a blueman from fullclean centre .
the only downside is that they are only 16 ltres.

thanks for this thread , I have just bought another  ;D ;D
