I need a blower for gardening work I do, how about using one for gutter vac work? Anyone had any experience with them?

What's the reach going to be on this though? Wouldn't you be better off with a SkyVac Atom? Has up to 40' reach depending on pole set and blow function so you could do both with that more effectively I imagine.I need a blower for gardening work I do, how about using one for gutter vac work?

Think it has a 3 metre length. Stihl is a famous brand in gardening, can't imagine they would advertise a gut vac extra with the blower if it wasn't any good!What's the reach going to be on this though?

I think it could work on certain gutters if just leafs I have a sthill blower/sucker it's OK for blowing I don't really use the sucker. You would need a very slime adaption somehow to get into gutters.it's handling it whilst up ladders etc ..I just don't think you can beat beat hand the gutter vacs are no good in my opinion.How do you know this?
You could be right, would be good to hear from someone who has actually used one though.I think it could work on certain gutters if just leafs I have a sthill blower/sucker it's OK for blowing I don't really use the sucker.

loli tried cleaning the cutter out use my truckmounted carpet cleaner to see if it could be used on the job only to find it stuck to the gutter and you couldn't move the pole along worth a try was quite funny at the time

Bad times. I found the 9m SkyVac for £485 yesterday so I pulled the trigger and got busy. Have now got the next two Saturdays doing gutters which will more than pay for the Vac.Just called the manufacturer; it is just used to blow the leaves out of the gutter!! Another dream quashed.
