plantfit 7,597 Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Blocked guttering around the bungalow? don't get out the ladders and start scooping the debris by hand, use the old waste pipe and vacuum cleaner method, length of 40mm plastic waste pipe, couple of 90 degree elbows, wet and dry vacuum cleaner, put elbowed end in the gutter, switch on cleaner and just walk along under the gutters dragging the pipe along with all the debris, simple but effective Ā Ā Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,296 Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I have posted about it before, the worst buy I have ever made, my German made wet and dry vac would not pull the skin off a rice pudding after five minutes use and the pipes to the vac would block up after attempting to suck any clumps of leaves. There are areas on the patio that I can't get to without going on the rood and that is a no, no. It's bloody useless but all the others suffer from the same design faults so IĀ find it easier to get someone in with an industrial scale unit. But still a good idea if it works for you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
