The window you all should be worried about is your customers peaking out before you get to the door.
The window the high heat the high flow the scrubbing the blah blah blah.......
If you think you're impressing the client with your little window you're fooling yourselves.
95% of the time you've done a great job even before you've started your POS/or $100,ooo truck mount.
Show up on time or before and you've beat 70% of the losers out there.
Be respectful and care about your client home and possessions say please and thank you and you're 90% there.
Do a great job and use top notch stuff and YOU'LL SLEEP BETTER!
Happyy Thanksgiving JMO!

site glasses are a great invention.. Its a must have for me.. now we need one on stair tools
Guys can say what they want about the window, but this is from my experience.
Two years ago my son and I were cleaning, as with any young kid most of the time they are faster than lightning. The very first job he did with the window he was completely shocked. He went in to wand a room and everything was going as normal....this was your normal BROWN apartment nylon type carpet as he was wanding out of the room he hit the traffic lane and the window turned dark with all the dirty rinse, and he did a second pass, and a third, he did it till the wand window was showing him that it was good to move on.
He looked at me and said now I know why you take a lifetime to clean, MOST VET or BETTER cleaners just put two n two together and know that curtain areas of the carpet are just going to need to be flushed better, this is why some carpet cleaners just have a good rep in the area, just better cleaning skills and knowledge....even with out the widow.
But my Son said Dad that is killer because I would have just went over it like all the rest of the carpet and I would have HONESTLY thought I did a good job cause I didn't know.
I personally value the window, on poly carpets the first pull is dirty maybe even the second, but the POLY carpet still looks like crap....the window doesn't lie. I have proven it to myself over and over, I have even pulled out my roto vac to see if I can get it better, 8 outta 10 times the wand and good chems has pulled as much out as possible.... The POLY carpet is crap and it isn't gonna change anymore.
I honestly believe the window is the most valuable thing when training a new person, you can show them, hey this much moisture coming past the window is acceptable and explain you don't need to spend any MORE time than that, or just the opposite and say this much moisture is to much to be left behind.
I will say that the window without a doubt has helped me more than it has cost me.

Put a newbie with a window in your town and you might not be saying the same thing after a while.

The wand bra was actually a nice thing.
I received one with the custom Greenhorn and had it on there for at least 4-5 years. It was padded and sort of cushy and did a great job protecting the wand but more importantly, it was protecting upholstery pieces. Admit it.....you all bump into some here and there....
I don't know if I would've purchased one on my own willing but it was nice to have.

I wish I had @Mark Saiger s gift, I do so many jobs that have really amazing results but I'm just not geared the same way as him he is a awesome marketing guru and I am super glad to know, and take advice from him. jeepers

Tom could the window be moved up onto the barrel where it can be viewed better or will it comprise the integrity of the barrel?

That would work only if that piece was removable so every 6 months you could put a new piece of clear tube in there.

AND JUST FOR THE RECORD THE WINDOW HAD BEEN DONE ALREADY.
Joe B had also put a window on his VT wand series. TD has a window because I wanted some work to be done to inside of the head I worked with him on, and the only way for them to get in there was to put a window, and I said yes put the window it will be a good feature.
