its preddie. Cleaned a massive house with it today.

It came 6 jetted, but in spite of that it was leaving floors HELLA wet.

I'm not passing judgment, because I don't have a 4 to the door yet, and this turkey is designed to have 300cfm going through it. I had to use 200ft of hose in this house as well. Interlink in town doesn't have a y connector. My old 2 jet wand didn't need 4 to the door.

Also, I think you have to hold it at a really low angle.

Also, I'm really tired and need a nap.


Its a very nice wand. The roller glide is not as big as it looks in the picture, and it is bolted in, so you can put a reg. glide on it if you like. They sent me stainless steel lip glides as well. I like the roller so far just fine.

looks like it will be great for cgd.

you can find the plastic one at lowes. your 2" will fit very tight without any ends. i used it and it works great.

Them roller glide things...how will the hold up against hair, lint, and other junk that may not get prevaced? Will they just get stuck and frozen rusted?
I didn't see one up close so I don't know how its built.

so you thought it was wet too?

are you running 4 to the door?

What kind of tm do you have?

I think the wand was slightly underutilized. The slot in it is a good half inch wide.

okay, i got to use it again today. this wand has some serious issues stock. the manifold is too wide so it overwets the crap out of carpet.

I dont know how else to put it, this wand won't work unless it has a glide.

Until PMF narrows that slot you could throw a cat through it will always overwet.

Don't they know anything about slot velocity?
You would think this was their first attempt at making a wand.

Oh well, more business for Greenglides.

Most of PMF wands have 1/4" slot width or less.

I'm surprised to see they doubled that for this tool unless their original intention was for it to have a tab inserted glide--which I think is a good idea. Trying to make tab glides for 1/4" slots is tougher, but Greenglides came through for me there.

I'm hoping we get this wand properly tweaked. It could become and industry standard.

The best thing about this wand is unobstructed airflow.

I think they were trying to get maximum airflow through this wand.
They succeeded, but without velocity at the lips it doesn't matter how much air it is flowing.

yeah. It is imperative for this wand to have a glide. thats all there is to it.
