I got an upgrade from Grippa when I bought 2 electric reels because they only had stainless steel reels left. That was 6 years ago and they are still going strong. I have wireless buttons if I want to use when I'm away from the van but never use them just go with the cable buttons. Not sure how long the motors last but doesn't take long to replace them when I watched Oliver fit them.
Hot water, electric reels and light poles with 35cm brushes have worked wonders this month due to the storm. Getting lots of calls but not sure if its just one offs but I now charge for 3 months and tell the new customer you will get next month cleaned for free to make it worth my while.
