Why would you want a metal glide? Doyou want to damage base boards and scratch stone and wood floors?

Is business so bad you can't afford $99 to $150 every two years to replace the Teflon?

I agree!!
Also-- no glide equals future shoulder pain/surgery... Thank God for Glides!

But if you feel you don't need a glide then your machine must be weak.

Why not, it glides just as good as a teflon glide and haven't scratched stone or wood floors yet. Might get a scratch on a baseboard every now and then.. sometimes it wipes off.. but even a teflon glide can mark a baseboard.
I get around a year or so before I replace the teflon glide..

No, we just clean a lot of carpets. I'm on my second set on my zipper. Easy to tell when it's gone, the adjustment isn't long enough anymore.

You could have a new glide in the front and adjust it down enough to wear off a 1/2" of aluminum. :eekk:
