Had the Mk1 and 2 Gardiners ones which aren't Gardiners at all they are actually Chinese Kobolt ones Gardiners just put their name to them, had nothing but trouble with them even had lose wires on delivery then pumps played up I've got the Mk3 version now let's see how things go? But for quality this is the best, not worth D.I.Ying one their dirt cheap any way.View attachment 5063i used an extend to wash one for years & they are good but gardiners are better, i have 3 now
I got one of these almost two years ago...it does not have the quality feel of typically manufactured European products but so far it hasn't let me down...It doesn't get massive usage, I only use it when I can't reach from ladders...battery life is incredible, apart from the initial charge I've only recharged it once, must be due another charge soon...the service from the company was good, I didn't have a clue what I needed to get me going, they talked me through the order and for less than £250 I had everything I needed to get WFP (apart from the water).the gardners one ive hurd is good
A few issues with that response if you don't mind me saying? 1. He would have to pick up the sack truck up and the back pack if he had to walk through someones house, it's also convenient sometimes when going to a single job to whip out the backpack without the trolley if there's little walking? 2. The difference between a 25 litre drum and a full bigger backpack is a punitive 2.25 litres, and 3. A pump box is 65 quid plus you have to buy a sack truck, I've got a couple of Ikea ones for back up but no good on gravel drives so payed £30 quid for one which collapses and has good wheels so that would take him up to £95 quid plus he's gotta assemble it. I have a Kobold V3 the jury is still out on it as the first 2 were cr@p but if it's reliable it has higher battery capacity and a more powerful pump so if it's any good at 102 quid you have effectively got a trolley system with the truck that's also portable, it's a no brainer! If anyone want's to make a killing and buy them in bulk they're about £20-£30 each on Chink websites.Get a koboi pump box for 65 quid stick it on a sack barrow and put a 25l drum on top..job doneCheap pole off ebay and your all set up except for water
That way you can carry more water than a backpack and you wouldn't use one as a backpack if you like your spine so would need to stick it on a trolley anyway
I payed 600 quid for a trolley system when I started out, biggest waste of money ever so D.I.Ying one of them is worth it but having had a trolley and backpacks would never have a trolley again for the lazy amongst us who can't be arsed to empty containers into backpacks just pump water into them I haven't got a tank in the Bingo so I'm getting a bilge pump to transfer the water to backpacks, I can earn about 200 quid on a good day with backpacks by 3 '0' clock with 300 litres of water in a combi , I may get a bigger vehicle in the spring I'm not sure yet? That depends whether I go down the route of getting a heater and a tank but I'm not fussed I've got it easy anyway.I already have a decent sack truck so didn't think of that£200+ big pneumatic wheel jobbie i "borrowed" from my mates work
I have seen backpacks at around 16l which is why i assumed they were all small
Hi mateI'm trad but wondered about a backpack for bigger houses and commercial, what is the best backpack and what kind of price? Seen one for £200 ish, and what things do you need to make it pure water etc? Complete beginner so know nothing about wfp
400 is a bit steep m8 think u could get 300 for it tho 350 at a push e.bay it u may get more as things seem to sell for silly money on thereHi mate
I use a Gardiner back pack and find it great especially for terraced etc
Getting a van mount soon but will still use back packs for hard access
I'm selling my pure freedom trolley if interested when get van ? Only had few months cost £405 plus vat letting it go for £400 if wanted it ?
Best of luck
