SpaceVac – Stud or Dud?

They say necessity is the mother of invention. Indeed, many of today’s gadgets and machines were created in response to a particular need.

Which is why appliance stores are so popular these days.

 

On that note, homeowners need to clean out their gutters if they want to avoid costly water damage caused by displaced roof runoff. But almost everybody despises the chore itself – and some have searched for ways to make this thankless task a little easier.

The latest manifestation of the desire to address the necessity of gutter cleaning? The SpaceVac.

What is a SpaceVac?

The SpaceVac is a simple concept: a power vacuum cleaner attached to a long pole that reaches high into the air. This enables the user to stand on the ground while holding the SpaceVac and suck leaves, twigs, and other debris out of gutters that are far above them. The pole is designed to reach gutters up to four stories high.

The SpaceVac runs on electricity, and its base unit holds up to 75 litres of debris while boasting an “easy-tilt” feature that makes emptying the canister easy. There’s even a camera that is mounted atop the pole so users can see – and record – their gutter cleaning experience. All in all, the SpaceVac aims to make gutter cleaning easier, safer, and faster than having to climb a ladder and/or get up onto a roof to remove gutter debris.

SpaceVac was founded about five years ago by a man in the United Kingdom. Since the first unit was invented, the company has refined and improved its technology and also expanded its product line to eleven different models that are designed for exterior, interior, and backpack use. Each SpaceVac model costs between $400 and $4,000 depending on its class and power (though financing is available with approved credit), and they can also be used for high level interior cleaning as well.

Does the SpaceVac Live Up to the Hype?

So how effective is the SpaceVac at cleaning gutters?

Well, the SpaceVac website boasts several big-name companies who use its product, including Coca Cola, Rolls Royce, IKEA, Cadbury, and Carlsberg. Furthermore, the SpaceVac received the most glowing review among three similar products that were tested last year by Premises & Facilities Management Magazine. The reviewer identified SpaceVac’s quick assembly, light weight, high-quality camera, and free staff training as competitive advantages.

But while SpaceVac points out its glowing reviews on its website, there seems to be a dearth of user reviews that have been posted to cyberspace. Perhaps the reason is because SpaceVac appeals to companies more so than individuals, and these entities might not be as willing or able to post online reviews about the product. In any case, this lack of reviews makes it difficult to find unbiased input about the effectiveness of SpaceVac.

Nobody likes to do this. But there’s a better way.

I recently had the Gutter Helmet by Harry Helmet installed on my house. It not only looks amazing, but the guys arrived on time, were professional and efficiently got the job done. I am very satisfied with Gutter Helmet's attention to detail and fulfilling their work as promised. I will definitely tell my neighbors about the Gutter Helmet.

I have had Gutter Helmets for 20 years. In all that time I've never had a problem until recently a bird's nest found its way into one of my gutters. The installer who came to replace the product was the same installer from 20 years earlier. Now that's impressive. Everyone at Gutter Helmet inclusive of the office staff were professional and a pleasure to work with.

Gutter Helmet by Harry Helmet just replaced our roof and we could not be more satisfied. The crew showed up early, worked all day and stayed late, were professional and caring regarding the project and the surrounding impact it had on our property and home. They completed the roof quickly and it looks simply amazing!

VERY happy with our entire experience adding Gutter Helmet by Harry Helmet to our house. Installing this was a great value for us. The gutters are working perfectly in heavy downpours and with year-long leaves and debris coming down from our river birches. Terrific customer service and a first class product.

We needed our roof repaired due to wind damage. After several quotes, Gutter Helmet was the only company that went into our attic to look and see if more damage had occurred. If it wasn't for them taking the extra time to look at everything, we would have had rotting wood under our new roof. They were very professional and gave a fair quote.

We just had Gutter Helmet installed on our gutters and couldn't be happier. They provided us with useful information about Gutter Helmet and cleaned up everything, leaving no mess behind. We definitely recommend Gutter Helmet to anyone considering this product.
