Actually if you look it's quite odd because on EBay you have the same seller using 2 different account names selling the same machine for totally different prices. One account name has the 34ft reach machine at £745 inc vat but then their other account name has it at £840 inc vat? Then if you go on their website (same people yet again)  they have that machine at £790 plus vat. Very confusing.

what is the difference with these vacs,
240 volt
110 volt
 on gutter cleaning systems web site.n
i had a eastern trading vac and alloy poles around 5 years ago , or maybe longer.    sold it to posh.
thinking of investing in another one , this time with carbon poles.  alloy poles put me off , i used ladders. lighter.
can anyone put a link up for the two items ,  or the best site to get a good deal.
i can look around for a camera as i did before.

Most people have the 240 volt machines, we do the 110 volt version because some councils and companies prefer 110 volt. With 240 volt you can plug them straight into a standard plug whereas 110 volt you will require a either a step down box or generator to operate them. Hope that makes sense.

[johnny bravo]

so the 110 volt machine will blow out  fuses  in household sockets.    why the difference in price.        just more knowledge added, cheers.

[johnny bravo]

your from G.C.S  then nick

[Nick Day]

Yes that's right I'm from Gutter Cleaning Systems, the 110 volt won't blow standard household electrics. You need a step down box (yellow box) which plugs into a standard 3 pin socket then the machine has a yellow plug which plugs into the box, this box converts 240 to 110 volt. Whereas a standard 240 volt machine plugs straight into a 3 pin socket. The 110 volt machines cost more simply because they cost us more to buy.

[johnny bravo]

WHICH DO YOU THINK FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE IS THE BETTER SET UP AND WHY.
240  110 volts,    they can both use a genny cant they.
what xtra £££   would a box cost  to convert a 110 volt to use on customers electricity.

Is there no difference in these vacs   which ever you choose,    surelly you would go for the 240 volt as its cheaper.

I've used both types and to be honest 110 volt vacs are not really required as I've never lost any work due to the type of vac I use.

[Nick Day]

To be honest I agree with Smurf, we've done gutter cleaning for schools and housing associations as well as domestic and never been asked what voltage vac we use. Id go for 240volt as well in all honesty that's what we use, we did have a 110 volt machine but sold it off in the end.
