Glide hole pattern question

[Mikey P]

Indisputably the "slot" pattern is the number one seller among all wands, yet the Hole and Hybrids remain the preferred choice for some cleaners

What do you prefer and why?



slot:

hybrid:

hole:

 

[Ed Valentine]

SLOT = Greater volume

SLOT = Greater volume

For portables this rules eh?

You've tested all three options on the same wand?

 

[Cleanworks]

Slot for both tm and porty. Can still pick up debris missed in vacuuming. I believe it extracts better. Hole glide if you have a monster truck mount and find it difficult to move the wand.

Hole
We have to stick together

We have to stick together

do you mean your body parts sticking together?

 

[Mark Saiger]

We have used hybrid quite a bit

 

[ronbeatty]

I use the hole glide, the hybrid and slot would leave mark on certain pieces of plush carpet that were hard to remove.

I find the holes leave more marks than a slot with reduced bridges...

All he’s ever used is the hole glide
I’m going to keep him in the dark

 

[Dolly Llama]

had all three for our notched Ti

they hybrid is a waste of money
Slot is best for cleaning
Hole is best for ease of wanding

most will get tired of cuffing bits of lint w/hole glide in res though
fine for com cause there's no lint

..L.T.A.

connect three holes in the center and three on each end for rat turd removal.



real carpet cleaners know that trick

 

[Dolly Llama]

connect three holes in the center and three on each end for rat turd removal.

so you make your own type hybrid ...attaboy

..L.T.A.

 

[hogjowl]

Don’t be a hack

That's the style I need . Too much vacuum on some carpets with the slotted 12 dev I cant finish the job I have to use another wand to finish the job or maybe it's just my old age?

 

[Hack Attack]

slotted, but it's all I've tried

 

[dealtimeman]

We like the hybrids

 

[Old Coastie]

I like slots with holes.

 

[Mikey P]

We like the hybrids

You and Larry?

 

[dealtimeman]

I suck a lot of water with a hybrid glide.

both with our flood pumpers and the vortex’s.

So why would the hybrid be better than the slot for that?
