Hi Burky
Looks like you have come on a long way since I last saw you.

We use Guttervacs from omnipole - and staff rate them highly from others we have tried. Just got a contract with three months worth of gutter and soffit cleaning, having to buy another one.

We had one of the vacs, it fell apart. Chinese crap.

But apart from that it was fine? 

I use the ETS vac and I'm happy with it but then fair to say that I don't do anything like as many gutters as Lee.

I bought two of those vacs about three years ago.  They lasted a week before the hoses went.  I got all the hoses replaced under warranty then one of the motors went, then the hoses went again, then the wheels fell off.  If anyone wants to come and get them they are welcome.  I use the bodies as dustbins now they were shi*e.

I will reiterate that, mine was storing shi*e in my container before I give it to a scrap man. Although to be fair the replacement hose I bought from them in a 10 metre length was of much better quality.

It wasn't intentional but from one phone call at the end of August we are now having to fit out a complete new van with water tank - guttervac and generator and have three months worth of work booked in already. I am sure we will have fun on the coldest of days due to frozen gutters.

New website also coming soon to promote our one off cleaning services, as this has also become a large part of our business.

what sort of building are you cleaning gutters on??

[DMC Window Cleaners Ltd]

we have an ets vac for well over a year do countless about of gutters and really havent had any problems at all.
ours get cleaned and filter cleaned, all hoses and poles clean every use.

we have bullet cam only down side is battery only lasts about an hr, so we inspect clean then inspect again. only thing i would suggest is get a better head which can be bought from wcw for £20-£30.
