anyone here swinging the newest Bently wand? Itching to know how it sticks compared to a teflon glide.

I like the stainless steel glide vs Teflon glides..

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 never had a glide on a wand last beyond 6 months. Still worth it.

6 months?


when do you declare it nonfunctional?

When the end is worn through and snags Berber.

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.

You must use yours on broomed concrete.

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.

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..

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