Anyone got/getting gvs predator or industrial?

What’s your opinions?
On those using these vacs and company?

Trust pilot reviews look 👀 good

Read an old post of smudges saying their carbon poles were good quality 👍

Thanks lee

[Smudger]

the newer vacs on offer look good quality - trolley looks to be well built - this tends to be the bit that falls apart

I have to say I am not a fan of trying to slag off the opposition - especially when your conducting the test against your own products
- find some one independent and proper controlled tests to show your better

Understand what your saying 👍
They all do it 😯

At least this has some weight
Rather than the, our is better nah nah.....nah nah nah 😁

I think the big takeaway here is the price Difference

The predator is £1200 cheaper than the SkyVac and seems to be better in tests
As you say smudge not independent tests

But the gvs industrial is not much behind the skyvac

With 30 ft carbon poles and sure side entry cyclonic upgrade entry port £926 incl vat

Maybe an alternative to skyvac atom,
for those looking for something with a bit more power 🤔

If you go on YouTube and watch gutter vacuum systems video playlist it’s quite interesting

Surprised to see the lightness of the alloy poles 😮

[Smudger]

I think splash and dash has the ultimate skyvac machine - that really is a class above everything,

Having said that - we gutter vac domestics nearly every day, and have large commercial works on average once a fortnight - 8 years I used the omnivac - never really had problems getting stuff out, just like the video if you can get a good seal on th muck it will pull out (no matter how powerful your not getting that down the pipe!) I now buy £140 3000 watt vacs put a side entry on and they match the omnivac - if the things go t!ts up just get a new one - it's cheaper and easier than changing a motor

Would something costing a grand or more do any better, possibly but the average house front and back is done in 30 mins or less - where would I save time ?  3 to 5 mins ? Those brutes would take longer to unload take more van room and be heavier on fuel

The trolley is a vital part - you travel over a lot of rough ground when vac'ing - those little casters last about six weeks if your lucky

I like GVS  - local to me and a decent guy

Thanks very much for the honest info
Smudge.

Have you got any links for your new budget setup?
Please 🙏 😁

I’m guessing a maxibllast 3000 watt vac
Where from 🤔

Then side entry port and tools from
Gutter vac systems

What about a camera smudger? Go pro.

Where are the gvs couple from London or Essex? They don’t sound like Norfolk folk to me 😁


never thought I’d hear you say that about gutter vac setup.

No sarcasm meant, I know you’re a big fan of the omni vac.
Believe you bought second hand of your brother in-law.

It’s earnt it’s money 💰 and then some I bet.

[Smudger]

Omni was brought off father in law approx 10 years ago - I hate to think the miles of gutters its cleared

I'll find some links for you

ive never spoken to mark ( im sure thats his name ) ut emailed a few times

[Smudger]

this is the vac I use now ( 2 of them ) they have run without fault for a good while now

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wido-3000W-Double-Vacuum-Cleaner/dp/B00OTR6QIK

side entry from either grippa ( if in stock ) - streamline - or other vac suppliers

get god quality hose - I use this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wido-3000W-Double-Vacuum-Cleaner/dp/B00OTR6QIK

very rugged and long lasting

[lee_dewing]

Thanks Darrran.

I like your new website 👍

You’ll probably say it’s 3 years old 😁

[SB Cleaning]

I have a GVS machine and its brilliant.

Said it before and will say it again Sky vacs are well overrated and over priced.

[Stoots]

Not used them

But like darren says you can buy a 3000w vac for less than £200 and if you look around you`ll find the side entry what they all sell for £50 or more for about £20 or so.

Why would you pay more

I have the 40ft pole set of this company and that vacume above
I put 2 inch hose on it and you find a big difference in  suction unfortunately its carpet machine hose and you can only buy it in 50 ft lengths so I cut it down anyway  I like this company lets hope they dont stop trading suddenly and leave us with no spare  parts like the
Un named  one who just closed down  disappeared and left me with a snapped pole and no contact 
So I deal with with these people now

Huh      what goes around comes around   good luck to them

[spudd]

Got the gvs red top 3600w with the carbon poles and honestly can’t fault it... Julia and mark at GVS are second to none when it comes to customer service.

I’m regards to there beef with spina I believe there’s been a bit of an ongoing feud since spina made the factory they got there original gvs vac manufactured stop selling it to them for what ever reason. So think the comparison video was a bit of FU... either way a bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone 

GVS vacs get my vote all day long.

[lee_dewing]

Thanks very much smudger for links

Only just seen
Don’t know how I missed earlier 🤦‍♂️

Funny I came across that vac on Amazon 👍

Did you go for one of GVS packages?

I’m happy to spend up to a £1000
Want 3000 watt vac carbon poles up to 30 ft

But it started to get expensive looking at predator nearly £1800 😮

Thanks for link for max blast
Good price 👍

Is the company that disappeared also in Norfolk?

I think GVS equipment looks superior to them 🧐

Thanks Spud 🥔👍

What did you pay 💰🤭if you don’t mind me asking

As said looking 3000 watt vac
Carbon poles 30 ft

Will part with £1000

Was tempted by SkyVac atom
But stumbled on GVS by accident looking for the other Norfolk gutter vac company

That doesn’t seem to have a website now 😯

[tom20001]

Prob sound like a broken record lads but ive a nilfisk maxi 11 alto. Are the machines you are showing smudge  and others more powerful than mine?

[tom20001]

Totally agree on the trolleys tho ive replace both front wheels on mine and had to do handle diy repair recently to gutter vac itself which is clearly a weak point on machine in hindsight.

iam not sure whare they are  lee its 3 years ago when i dealt with them    i know   his first name was nick   thats it iam done   
anyway if you get the maxiblast   remember to saw off   the attachement inside the drum or you will get blockages   its a bit small
if you need cmor power put a 2 inch hose on it
 https://www.clean-smart.co.uk/store/2-vacuum-hose-x-50ft/

https://www.clean-smart.co.uk/store/2-vac-hose-barb-connector-con3/

i dont use the hose supplied with the maxiblast   i use the above    just jam the hose barb into the machine port and the 2 inch onto that and then the other end fits  perfectly onto there pole end fitting  cuff   2 inch hose is a bit cumbersome but you get a lot a vac boost wiith it i only use 2 vacs normally  but  for big sods its no poroblem   even with hose maxiblast  supply   its powerfull enough i just thought i would try some 2 inch carpet hose and i stuck with it 


good luck anyway
