Been using versions of the aw29 for years with porty's and truck mounts. Never had a problem with streaking. Having a greenglide makes it a more usable wand. For shorter people, it's an attractive wand as it gets around furniture easier and lets you back out of a room with marking up the wall behind you. It will never perform as well as premium wand bit it has its good points

I get better drying with both my Mach 12's. Love the new hybrid on my AW29 though. The difference is probably not noticeable by the customer

6 for the truck, 4 for the porty. 500 psi on both.

til we got a Ti (around '05) AW's were our mainstay.
Ran 'em at 300-400 max psi contingent on carpet and condition
had one jetted 04 and the other 06
first side by side on a rat hole w/06 AW vs stock Ti, had to turn psi to 450-500 on Ti to equal the AW @ 350.
Been saying for 30 years, the AW is very good cleaning wand .
Just not a trendy de jour wand, nor a wand that will last forever like a Ti or PC quad jet

So how many do you have in your shed ready to sell?

Probably because cleaners who use cheap wands tend to leave them on the lawn or run over them.

Just one more idiot who watches YouTube videos with the sound off...
15 years ago when I started as a part time employee we used unglided AW 29s. The wand I used felt good and did a good job.
Later it was replaced with what was supposed to be an identical model brand new off the shelf. It was garbage - totally different feel, balance, and head angle.
I think Mike is right, there's probably 100 slightly different versions out there, and some are better than others. Probably explains why it's so divisive every time it comes up

the flex in the thin sheet metal head..partularly at the tube/head juncture.
we had one fail at that point doing vicious short heavy chop strokes* on CGD with a myriad of grease/oil(?) spots.
The other fail points I recall, a manifold that holds the jet body (weld failed)
as well as the supply line splitter weld to tube failed
I'll note, we had several AW's over the years, I'm sure some weren't "real" AWs and were cheaper knock-offs
*vicious short chop strokes was our method of rinsing spots that pre-spray alone didn't easily get.
