WS18 single speed backpack. Extend2wash. NEW

 
Got 1 of these. Had no trouble at all with it. I control the water flow with a hozelock tap on it. Battery is all closed in. Heavy on the back so got it on a trolley. Very pleased with it. Worth the dough. The ws18 I got.

 
I was just thinking of getting one for when i have a house that i have to drag the hose through , but if i have one of these it will be soo much easier plus the hose wont be dragging along the carpet in the house , this backpack will be ok for what i need it for wont it?

Yes mate. That's what I use mine for. It came with a hozelock connector but I changed mine to a hozelock connector with a tap on so don't need a flow controller and control the flow with the tap & works fine. Obviously you need a male hozelock connector with a 8mm or 6mm tail to connect your pole hose to. For the price it's great.

 
I ordered the cheap budget one they use do for £96 but they had sold out and sent me the red one at no extra cost. The yellow one looks good though,

 
Is the one without the pump control thingy still ok to get ? Does that mean it just comes out at 1 speed?

Yer fine to use. Will use more water than one with a controller, but with tap on it you can control the water that way, turning it on and off between windows etc

Yes but as RC said with a tap on you can control it. I hardly have any water coming out when cleaning then turn tap up a bit and comes out faster for rinsing.
