A Zipper will do a good job as you can flush both forwards and back without over wetting the carpet but you may find it awkward. On trashed rentals, I prefer a rotovac or crb/wand combo. I love my Zipper for wide open spaces but I wouldn't use it in apartments.

Apartment size rooms? Maybe with a 13ā€. I don’t like using my 15ā€ in those type of rooms. A big commercial room? Yes

I use a 16 inch wide wand.............everywhere

Time is money

Figure overlap of an inch with every wand.

So a 14 inch you're using 13 inches

With my 16 inch I am using 15 inches

What if you only overlapped 1/2 of an inch? How much time/money would it save you?
Calculate it and send me the 1st years worth as a consulting fee. You can keep every future year, no charge. šŸ˜‰

I overlap by a 1/3 to 1/2. I bet Jimmy can do a double wide in 15 minutes. At $49.95 each, that's $200 per hour.

whats the point of the difference between straight and bent handle on the zipper?

Is it to do with height of the operator??

One day this week, while unloading the truck, I handed one of my chimps the wand. He said, don’t hand that thing to me. He’s been using the zipper all summer. Smart ass
Good guy! My employees still like the wand better. I wish they leaned toward Zipper more. Love the quick drying and ease of use (I like my back!)

That particular chimp is a retired 7-11 manager. He wants ease. He’s the one who said the porty #sucked all dayšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

:headscratch:

The thread is about a guy maybe wanting one.
Most of the members who have one are saying get one.

but we are to read into two guys wanting to unload theirs (13") in the thread because they weren't jumped on immediately?
