Has it enough power?

[colin purewater]

just ordered one of theese today
im told by a good source there really good
i was gona spend out on a eastern trading vac but cant justify £1200 at the mo for the work i have lined up the clarke will do the job

[p1w1]

Has it enough power?

Yes it does haven't had problems with it yet but I only stick to domestics with it. The reason I went for that one was because I could use the genny with it and able to lift it out the van by myself without problem. I've also used the polar vac and that was plenty powerful as well

I've got the karcher 27 kit from gutter cleaning systems, used it last week with 3 sections and the curved end  which give me a reach of around 20-25 feet - no problems at all, lifted out some huge rootballs too.

hi mate

my concern was the power when i bought one - i got a karcher pro with 3 motors and i can honestly say that 99% of the time a single motor around 1300 watt would satisfy most gutter jobs.

which means you can get one for between 200-300 more if your using a generator with it.

the advantage of the maler ones is that they will fit in your van more easily and be easier to move around etc, since your likely to emptying from every job theres not real need to have a huge capacity either. i got a good deal on mine and hope to do commercial with it but if id planned only domestic id stick with a little 1300watt jobby and bang out a few cleans out and you got your payback real quick.

i have an r2d2 vac eastern trading. just  a bit too bulky for me now. Wish i had bought something smaller now

I'm getting the Clarke system this month.

Out of interest, are you lads getting gutter clean customers apart from your window cleaning customers? How you getting them?

[Dave.]

I mentioned it to a few of my customers, in passing, who had problem gutters - most of them went for it, then they talk to their friends and more work comes in, then you clean their friends windows.......... and so on

Same for fascia, soffit and gutter cleans

Need to get some decent photos of gutter vac in progress then I'll add a page on the website
