They are built in China to a very cheap standard, cost peanuts to buy wholesale and really are not up to the job long term. Great if you only want them for limited use or short term.

Are omnipole selling these models then? As per a post above seems to indicate.

I don't know which model Omnipole are selling.  The ones I've seen on eBay are the same as several manufacturers have sent me details of in the past.  Fine for limited use.  You wouldn't want to run your whole business from one of them though (although I bet people are and are managing fine!)

I spoke to omnipole before i bought it they said there was a problem with filling it some of the water can get into parts of the trolley the flo contol i think but they said they managed to seal it.I would of thought if Omnipole were selling them they must be ok.Mike were is the trolley now does it not work at all.I spoke to Andrew Mc Cann to he was a bit cagey but said the trolleys were fine  i will only be using the trolley about 3 days a fortnight.

hi darren
i do use the trolley, but i have had to rebuild it to get it servicable

would i buy one again no way :'(

have look at matts site and build one yourself :o

greggs direct are doing a great deal on a backpack with a pole for less than £200

buy yourself a cheap sacktruck from b&q, you got yourself a decent trolley system to start

The trolley arived today looks ok got it charging just now will have a play with it tomorow the hose that came with it is crap also some of the fittings look a bit cheap.Iam going to Cleantech on Thursday and going to get some minibore and a flow control tap for the minibore but for £200 looks good.

I just had a guy email me from Ebay about this trolley and wanting to no if i had any bother with it as his has broke after 3 days he said water has got into the flo control when he was filling it now its Knackered and the seller will not give him a refund and says he will have to buy a varistream i think of him for a £100 shocking.Iam going to buy another one  they are down to £180+delivery i love them when i fill it up i use a 10litre bucket with a spout on it only takes a few seconds longer.
