Says the yawk that JUST discovered how good the 2 jet 802/aw29 design actually cleans ...2" tube or not

smoother ...maybe the head angle??
you can actually push it forward without killing the shoulders
802 isn't quite as easy
glideless cleans deeper on cut piles .
anyone that says different is clueless
Throw a glide on a wand (any wand) and you need to increase PSI, flow and vac to get same results
Glides make work easier ..not cleaner

then get the better handle from Cobb.....
you will have one of the best wands out there............
Great post Lisa and good to know. Do you have a link to that wand (CMP low profile) and why do you like it the most?It doesn't "need" a glide because it doesn't move much air. The more airflow, the more bite a wand has.
The 802 and the AW29 are totally different wands, the 802 moves more air than the AW29.
They do make a 14" AW29. Any CMP distributor can order it, it is their model number 1410.
After the Prochem Titanium my favorite wand is still the 14", 5 jet, 2" tubed CMP low profile wand.
If you are looking for a lightweight, maneuverable wand for tight areas that still has good flow and is cheap, look at the Westpak 2 jet low profile wand:

Of all of the 2 jet, 12" 1.5" tubed wands it moves the most air. At least it did when we tested it against the other 12" 2 jetters a few years back. We were really surprised, that little wand sucks like a two-dollar whore.
Take care,
Lisa
Great post Lisa and good to know. Do you have a link to that wand (CMP low profile) and why do you like it the most?
Also, did you consider making a glide with a larger opening that will pick more debris, yet will still be able to move smoothly on the carpet without fighting it too much?
Actually Shawn Forsythe and I try to think up new and important technical terms to describe what slows down airflow in wands.
And how crappy Evolution wands are. I have never broken a ss or ti wand. Five wands! Geeze. At least they replaced them free. I doubt you would have bought more after the first one or two broke. Something is horribly wrong with the structural integrity there.We run Large blowers here and over the years I have broken about 5 Evolutions wands, Which U.S. Products has replaced for free. I think this is a little unfair TO U.S. Products, and they might change their policy in the future; but This shows what a great company they are.

I highly recommend the 2 inch Evolution wand. It outperforms a Glided Ti wand and even a water claw at water removal. We have a 1 1/2 inch Evolution for when we are doing small rugs on location because it has less suction.
I recommend dumping All 1 1/2 inch wands AS your MAIN WAND because you are just diminishing the performance of your machine.

Anybody tried new Westpak Titanium? They took it of their site.
