Gutter Sucker What do you think ?
« on: November 25, 2012, 01:57:44 pm »
Has anyone tried or used the Gutter Sucker Vacuum and what did you you think of it as it has twin motors at 3000w and seems a good deal but looking for any advice on this machine.

Hi the machine is 3 1000W motors and the price is ok if you want carbon fibre poles you could get same vac but with Ally poles a couple hundred pound cheaper it's all down to you. I use a 3000w vac with alloy poles not a problem people say there heavy but there not and once in the gutter it takes a lot of the weight anyway.

All in all a good setup if the work warrants you splashing out or if you want a bit cheaper then upgrade when you feel times right go with the alloy poles spend the saving on advertising and get your money back.

I got lucky i bought my poles vac and cam for £280 and sold the cam for £180.

Cheers Phil.

I dont mind the heavier poles but trying to find a machine that is 3000w plus and doesnt go over the £1k mark is hard work.

It can make life easier when you have a lot to do but never tried carbon.

I will keep looking unless anyone knows of a good supplier for powerful but cheap gutter vacs.

Looks good and is a bargain. What poles did you buy and hose to connect to this.
