I've got the bottom one (orange). It's good but next time I'd probably get a collapsible trolley, unless I had ramps for the van as lifting that thing with a full backpack and reel in and out the van all day gets tedious very quickly. Apart from that it's a nice sturdy trolley, I use 2 bungees to attach my backpack to the trolley and I've installed a piece of square down pipe to hold my pole while wheeling around.

It's difficult to tell from the pictures. It's probably down to what's your favourite colour? /emoticons/wink.png

 
I've looked at the specs now and top one is 15kg and bottom is 8kg both steel but I can't find an aluminium one with phnematic wheels.. as I'm only starting out think I will go for this unless find something better in the meantime.. I've seen the water genie one but everyone is recommending the gardiner gear and as this will be my ONLY method for now I'd rather go with quality?? As I'm on a very tight budget. Or is the water genie one up to the same standards as the gardiner one ?

I've had the Water Genie for 18 months with no issues. Like it that much I have 2.

12 month no quibble warranty.

Gardiners are just fine but at the end of the day they're all made in some factory in China. Nothing Wong with that either.

I went online to look at the water genie one and I can't seem to buy it anywhere, the cleaning warehouse is the only place I can see it for sale but with no option to buy, they seem to be selling the water genie streamline now instead and only offering spares for the one you showed me ?

That's my next purchase with F.S.G and con roof cleans booked in

 
Neither trolleys are great, you need one witch has not got two handles (ie a top bar), the type with two handles are nearly impossible to use one handed and as you normally have a pole or equipment in one hand and push the trolley with the other its very difficult and slows you down, look for one with a curved or solid top bar and it will go where you want one handed.

they have sold out 4 weeks ago , and will be around 4 weeks before they get the new stock in but they are expecting hundreds in

 
Liam - have you any experience buying from Alibaba.com ? I've tried a few times as I wanted to see if I could make a competitive backpack using quality bits (shurflo pumps etc) but unless you are buying in the hundreds the prices are the same as over here.

You can blag them and say I'm interested in buying 200 for example I just want to see the quality and test it before i commit to buying more can I have a test unit at cost price or whatever the lowest price is (in this case £13) and most will let you do that thinking you be getting a big order in after, also if it says min 100 order and you say I just want to do a test run to see how well they are Sell etc and I'm after about 30 or 50 they will do that aswell, also in hope of getting a larger order and repeat business, I don't do it or have but I know someone who does and this is his tactics lol seems to work every time for him

Gardiners backpack on alley trolley can't fault it and highly recommend it anyone that wants a backpack system, personally I would prefer a pure freedom nano trolley just glad I have a van mount.

Hasn't worked for me!!! I started off with ads that listed single 'unit' purchase and when I got the cold shoulder from them I approached the others asking for a 'sample' - still no luck!
