diy guttervac question
« on: February 08, 2009, 02:09:20 pm »
Hi all

I have read through all other posts but would just like some feedback on the eastern trading 3000w vac and if it has stood up so far for the people who have bought one. If not is there another vac out there worth buying. I want to get one orderd this week as I have a couple of awkward jobs to do.

Thanks

Justin

yup been fine so far.. had it for a few months now and have a few jobs per month - but i only do residential, maybe you might want to pay more for a better vacuum if your doing commercial just for peace of mind

Agree with Chris
Although it has only been used half a dozen times so far
all residential it has been fine- plenty of suction no probs

Hi J&A

I am going to get the pole from gardiners as I can use it for other things unless someone has a better idea, I will get the vac from eastern trading at around £250 and will make up any fittings I need from local suppliers such as jewsons or b&q. From what I can see the vac is the most important and as I am doing mainly domestics with the odd block of flats I think that the eastern trading vac will be more than powerfull enough. I reckon about £700 all in and I have two big jobs that will almost pay for it. Happy days
