I want one!
I'd buy a new one but they're not available right now.

Any Zipper owners want to dump their tool?

Really, both sizes?

Everyday is Saturday.
Here in a few weeks I might have an original one available for sale and will let you know, have to get my zipper order in first.

Out of both sizes I think. New ones available late December according to Eric.
BTW, I want the 15", newer model.

I think there was a bit of a run on them lately 
My Brothers are also buying 2 more large ones as soon as they are available.

Got a feeling you had something to do with that, Mark. ; )
Unfortunately, the 15" Zipper Wand is on back order until the end of December. We have 13" units available with the ergonomic T-Handle & Wand Style Handle. These normally sell for $2,195.00, however since we are out of the straight handles, we are running a special for $1,995.00. The straight handles will be available in about 2 weeks.

These zippers are here to stay......
I'm not surprised by the sales.....this increase is not just a fad..
It is a real cleaning tool with 30-40 percent better cleaning and dry time over any wand..
With less wear and tear on the arms...

I have a 13" zipper (almost new), the straight handle. Bought it when I was looking for an employee and was planning on taking more commercial work. Decided not to have an employee and as a result I hardly do any commercial work. The Zipper works great, a few minor scratches.
I have it + spare two (1 front & 1 back) glides and the Teflon sides. Slot front, hole back.
Zipper- $1599.00
+ two glides and Teflon sides $139.00
+ shipping & insurance
p.m. me if you're interested

What's the bottom of these things(zippers) look like? Never seen one, nobody shows the bottom....
Is there a brush? How many jets? How much flow? Just a jet slot and two vac slots?

I have worked..on...with..and around a ton of different machines and tools most my life...after awhile you can weed out the hype and the crap.....the zipper is a very well built tool that will handle years of cleaning and does what it is designed to do......a great tool to have..
This one is 100 %.....JMA.................

With all the styles of handles being made what one does everyone who has a Zipper like the best for comfort and ease of use?

I'll have to get those questions worked out too. I will get one in the Spring but want to make the right choice the first time.
Unlike buying the RotoVac 360i. I wish I would've gotten the XL or HOSS. Too proud to lose my shirt on the sale of the 360i.

I'm very interested in one also and you said what I was thinking in wanting the right handle for ease and comfort.

Can you post pictures of the different style handles to choose from?

I tested the straight handle during 2 different shows....the one I have has a bent handle....I think the bent one is more comfortable then the straight one..plus it is eaiser to get under things.......

With the bent Z shaped lower handle, you have the option to go with a wand style handle or a T-style handle. Depending on the job, the Z shaped handle allows you to bring the head of the Zipper closer to your body and when you push straight down it propels the head out. The T-style straight handle will go lower, you can almost bring it all the way to the ground.

Choice of handles is very personal, like a lot of tools here.
I liked the old style better (the T). You can practically get it all the way under furniture beds etc. and I felt like it was easier on me when using.
As Jim said, this tool is built like a tank. It is a pleasure to see somebody that does such quality work as Eric did. He should be proud of himself.

I have heard of a manufacturer known for their bent handles - perhaps they make them for Eric?

Just take this loose and pull the T handle out and replace it with the conventional wand handle.....
Pretty slick...
