Ok, enoughs enough. We ordered the Flex Giraffe from the Speedtape hire department and its been nothing but hassle. Firstly, its as heavy as f**k, you can forget doing the full ceiling in a 1-er cos you've got to put the thing down for a rest. Secondly it keeps breaking down. Power surges from generators really f**ks them up apparently so thats no use on a site! We hired ours in November and since then we've been constantly changing either the sander or the vac. a real pain in the a**e, We now have the previous model, the flex 500, and its lighter, faster and doesnt succumb to power surges. So, I am now asking, "How can they bring out a newer model, and make it WORSE????"

Given the choice i will always prefer the original, the giraffe is just to heavy, sanding is bad enough without the addition of a hernia.
