 Hi Guys & Gals, just looking for some good advice, gutter clearing is a service i've never offered, but recently
 i've been getting quite a few inquiries for it, so i'm seriously thinking about getting a gutter vacuum machine
 as i dont use ladders anymore for high access, just wondering what you all use makes, models, motor size's,
 Pro's  &  Cons, etc, any advice would be very appreciated cheers.

Don't bother with a genny, too expensive and big. Get a decent extension lead and plug in custy's leccy

4200w vacuum cleaner draws 18 amps at 230v. Definitely need a genny for that current. There are smaller vacuums available though, but usually have less suck.

 Just like to thank you all for your advice regarding Guttervacs, i've still got to think about which one to go for,
 as there are a lot of models out there to choose from varying in price, size, & power, as i'm a one man operation
 i've got to factor in the size of the vac, i dont want to be breaking my back getting it in & out of the van, then i
 dont want to buy one thats to small and is underpowered. thanks again for your advice appreciated.

 Kind regards
