New FaceLift backpack is out...

[C Rose Cleaning Services]

Build quality for one, just had to repair a leaking hose, I'm always taking mine apart, it's about time someone came out with a better quality unit other than these Kobolds.

Yeah I guess. Not had any issues with mine... Yet... Cheap injection moulded bodies though aren't they.

Im trad, but looking at wfp options as a backup.
Windowcleaning warehouse were doing a special offer of the bigboy backpack, hose and the unger hiflo nlite and 4 x 25l containers for a decent price they have stopped that offer now.

What pole would you recommend with this backpack?

I've just been perusing and they've put the bundle back on, £30 more than I paid but it's all you need to get started. I thought I'd be using WFP as a backup when my employee dropped me in but I find myself using it more often than a ladder now. It's brilliant.

Link below for the pack:

@C Rose Cleaning Services yeah the fact that the pole is aliminium puts me off as I know that its heavy and difficult to manoeuver. Other than that it looks like a great deal if you ask me although I'd buy a trolley to move the equip around in

The pole isnt too bad for me but i learnt to pole at third floor height, with an oversized pole. Chucking a similar weight around at mostly second floor height is easier in comparison.

I dont think I'd have gone for the lite backpack... too small but ive no van.

I did buy a trolley and I've just upgraded my pole to the Gardiner carbon ones to replace the awful Alu one it came with..

Was a good introductory package for me though and the back pack and Unger Hydro Power are awesome, and worth £300 on their own.

Just seen these - 18L, Li-ion batteries. Looks decent for the entry price if anyone is looking for a new back pack /emoticons/biggrin.png
FaceLift® LiteBOY Backpack

Having trouble battery died quickly 3 days ago took it out and tried to check if it was in right won't go back in now, I'm currently in conversation with WCW trying to return it, it's not easy to reinsert the battery as there is no base for the battery to fit and locate other than the contacts at the back which you can't see when inserting it
