Are the gutters worth the investment of the gutter vac and what would be the best starter machine, thanks

We tend to just look at a job and think how long it will take... so a standard 3/4 bed house would probably £25 front £25 back and £25 for other bits like garages and flat roofs. Unless you can see loads of stuff hanging out... then just double it.What sort of price ranges are people charging... Windows I'm sorted.. Gutters no idea?
Would like to start with a powerful machine so as not to have to upgrade to soon, any recommendations?

What’s the difference? I use probs one of the lesser models on the marke(gutter sucker junior, front entry) and up to now it’s been fine. On the inside of the entry there’s a right angle price of plastic that shoots the debris and muck around the edge like a vortex instead of straight at the filter. Would this give the same effect as a side entry?You don't initially need to buy an expensive all singing all dancing vac. What you need to do is buy a cheap metal vac with no poles or tools etc. and then buy the Spinaclean side entry casting, cuff, hose, poles and tools. You've then got something that will do a good job for around £1200, which is at least half what it would cost buying a named side entry vac. Front entry vacs will do a job but really don't compare to side entry.
I was thinking going in at from £60 a time, so if done in 1 hour great, done in 2 ok.
A lot of people on here often talk about vortex’s in there modified vacs. After the debris and muck enters the vac it will go straight to the suction source. Doesn’t matter if it’s side entry or a plastic deflector like yours. It’s point to point. There is nothing in a plain cylinder of a vac to make a vortex.What’s the difference?

Ah right. It just looks that way with the pattern that’s left by the dirt etc when u open it.A lot of people on here often talk about vortex’s in there modified vacs.

I've only just scratched the surface with This and can see it developing into something much bigger, especially if your willing to do the repairs and replacements as well, there's so much work there. So I would say go for it, get an atom or something similarly priced and crack on!
I've used both and can assure you they are light years apart. I think the majority of front entry are 32mm whereas side entry is 51mm.What’s the difference?
