Best selling?

Probably the AW29.

Is cheap and company owners don't trust their chimps with anything better. Wands are the red headed step child of cleaning tools. Frustrated techs beat the crap out of them.

PMF
Westpack
CMP
Caltools
HydraMaster/US Products
Mytee
Butler
EDIC
and Devastator Tom...

I'm sure I missed a couple

Tom's and the PMF made Sapphire Titaniums are my favorites

AW-29 is most popular

Why are you concerned with the best selling wand? Because the best selling wand is probably the AW29, which isn't much to brag about. I'm more interested in the best value wand on the market, which I feel is the Mach15. Or is that what you meant in different words?

I have a new idea for a wand and am looking for the best / biggest company to approach, to discuss potentially manufacturing it.

PMF is your only choice inside the Industry

If it has two heads, jets on both sides, a built in scrub brush, pulsating water, headlights, two to six vacuum chambers, easy change glides, a built in heater, no trigger, two triggers, an ergo handle that only a paraplegic could use, a shitty swivel, a great swivel, a plastic head, a Y shaped vacuum tube, a sight window, internal jets, 7,8,9 or ten jets, carbon fiber tube, height adjustable, zipps or bonzes...It's all been done before..

PM me your idea, I'll let you know if it's original and if it stands a chance.

Has anyone tried the idea of making a special wand for rugs only? When we loners are cleaning a rug, it's not possible a lot of times to pull back the wand. So all that's needed is to put the jets in front of the vacuum slot and push the wand forward without the rug moving.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Hmm. No replying to my comment leads me to believe that you're laughing at my idea or you've been drawing a design all day, racing to make a patent

 

[Mikey P]

I think it would be easier and more economical to just stand on the other side of the rug...

What about hydramaster aren't they a large organization? An EDIC posts that they have plants in Hong Kong and Japan. I seen the PFM plant video. Doesn't seem like a very large organization. And are they doing 3 million wands or 300,000? I would think the latter.

 

[Mikey P]

You've got it all backwards.


PMF is huge.

HM sells two wands that they now make themselves in their WA plant.
EDIC has a handful of porty wands.

 

[Mikey P]

There are maybe 40,000 carpet cleaning companies in the US


How often do you think they're replacing their wands?

 

[gorconjack]

Every 3 years?

 

[Mikey P]

Sounds about right

 

[gorconjack]

So there's only 40,000 wands sold every year? I wonder what the number is

 

[Mikey P]

40k



No way.


I'd guess 8k
