With over 13 years of experience in the gutter clearing industry, skyVac® has pioneered many of the innovations that have made the process safer, faster and easier. We were the first company to introduce the cyclonic side entry port for gutter vacuums, and with this new addition to the Atom, it now features as standard across our skyVac® range.
Introducing the skyVac® Mighty Atom with cyclonic side entry port
As a customer favourite, we wanted to thoroughly challenge and test our NEW skyVac® 1,600Watt Mighty Atom with cyclonic side entry port, with gutter cleaning professionals, before adding it to our gutter vacuum lineup. Well, after months of field trials, miles of clogged gutters, sludge, leaves and challenging clumps, we’re proud to announce that the Mighty Atom gutter vacuum system, with cyclonic side entry port, rose to the challenge. So, what did the professionals have to say about it?
“I’ve been working with the skyVac® Atom for a number of years. A powerful little gutter-clearing vacuum that fits neatly in the van and has been a great little earner for my business. It just gets the job done.
I’ve tested two different setups with the cyclonic side entrance.
Firstly, I simply switched drums over, from the front to side entry port, but kept my existing Atom 38mm flexi hose and carbon fibre 44mm push-fit poles. I noticed a difference in suction right away, and I was getting through projects about 20% faster than I would with the previous set-up and with no blockages.
Secondly, I used the side entry drum with the new 50mm Wire reinforced suction hose, and the Elite 50mm poles. What a game-changer! It powers through gutter jobs. I’d say it was about 40% faster than the original set-up and with no blockages, not even with pine needles.
The Elite lightweight poles with the Vac release cuff are just so much easier to work with and give you more control. The telescopic poles have an increased diameter, which means you don’t have to chop debris up as much, so less strain on the arms!
The cyclonic side entry just gets jobs done faster! I was able to provide professional gutter cleaning services and great customer service.” Josh Courtney of Courtney’s Exterior Cleaning & Property Maintenance Ltd.
So, there you have it! All the same great features that you love about the skyVac® Atom, but with improved performance and upgrades, for an even better user experience.
Quite simply, the skyVac® Mighty Atom is better, faster, and easier, so, let us explain why.
What’s the benefit of having a cyclonic inlet/side entry port on a gutter vacuum as opposed to a front entry port?
With a side entry port, gutter debris entering the system is propelled around the drum walls in a circular motion, spiralling around and down into the base of the drum. So, debris is evenly dispersed throughout the drum, rather than concentrated in one area. It’s a bit like a high-velocity helter-skelter for gutter clutter!
There are two main benefits of a cyclonic inlet on a gutter vacuum.
- Eliminates blockages.
- Maximise drum space.
What’s the performance difference between the front entry and cyclonic side entry skyVac® Mighty Atom
Our bestselling front-entry model delivers 3,800 LPM airflow along with a 110-inch water lift. Making the inlet port larger, from 38mm to 50mm, allows more air to be pulled into the vacuum by the motor, resulting in more power. Debris in guttering and downpipes is sucked faster into the system, making gutter-cleaning projects even quicker to complete.
And, it just keeps getting better…

Existing Atom owner questions:

Yes! Existing Atom owners can purchase the standard 38mm front entry port, 38mm flexi-hose and 44mm push-fit poles – we are offering a skyVac® Mighty Atom Drum with a 50mm – 38mm cuff converter.
