My only beef is it came late Saturday and I'm off until Monday.

And the handle is set for a dwarf.

Oh wow,
Thats awesome Sam I didn't know you bought one.
The handle will not work the same as on ridgid wand so take a wrench with you when you first use it.
The thing about a swivel wand is guys try and fight to keep the handle in 12 o clock position, what you will find is the wand handle will naturally go into your normal hand position for you to just reach for it when you do....it takes a little adjustment on your part, but if you don't fight it the wand head will make a stright forward pass, hard to explain but I think you will understand it after reading this.

Enjoy it, I hope you like it, and thanks for the support.

You now have a later model than all the rest of these guys :icon_cool:

A swivel wand allows a slight tilt for either hand you are using on the handle (more natural position).

Changing the trigger hand is good for your muscles.

I am sure you will enjoy the wand.

The only question is the other guys wanting to use it.

I like the jets further back away from the glide, for better cleaning on trashed carpet.

I set all my wands up
The same way my guys like them more ergonomic easier to use.

I've seen guys with a handle in the middle half way up the pipe, they clean all hunched over! No thank you. I stand straight up when I clean.

Using a different hand is a little like having a different woman.

Lordy..

Are you that broke Ladwig?

If so, I'll stop picking on you but what was all that about buying a 12k motorbike? Will the the Indian make you that much happier than the $4k Honda?

The cleaners who will be buying this wand are the 2%r's that see the beauty in the perfect paint and curved fenders, they'll blip the throttle at every intersection so the dude stuck in the Camry looks over, they'll text thier wives and pals mid ride waxing poetic about its screaming eagle like performance and you can bet it will get dried and polished after each and every ride..

Like all great toys, they'll sit and stare at it in the garage after the family goes to bed, congratulating themselves on a job well done.



This is America, we live for our toys.







When is the last time you caressed your Castex?
Wait, don't answer that.

Agree with Mike that the wand is a piece of art that you actually get to use in a practical way. Worth the money for that reason alone. Congratulations Sam.

Oh my such venomous drivel from the self appointed king of carpet cleaning! HISS!

What is the man supposed to say to his wife why he can't make the house payment or provide food for his family because he wants what others have? It's getting into winter now what good does it do to look at that "Gold Plated" wand sitting in the corner waiting for spring to come? Huh? How can he tell his kids that Santa won't be coming this year?
YOU have a moral responsibility to tell broke dicks to hold off till spring at least...........

Then they can do more apartments or late night restaurants to offset the HIGH price of a new toy.

I don't get winter dread I'm in the high desert, so instead of 25k I'll do 18-19 in January.

Still I put it on a low interest credit card.

That we usually pay off monthly.

But I'm hoping all the hype is real.

I do love my Mach 15 it's a beast. Got a super sweet deal on it.

I'll post pics of my new 15 inch zipper Monday!

Ps I'm not buying anything else until march.
