got my zipper today

[Cleanworks]

Finally got my zipper today. Picked it right off the ups truck, put it in my truck and had to go in to sign the paper work. Unpacked it at the shop and just about to adjust it and try it out but the wife calls me for supper. I'll be back at the shop tonight to experiment a little and try it on a job tomorrow. Like a little boy with a new toy. Know how you feel Russ.

I have only seen it at Atlanta, but that zipper is beautifully made.

We have a Saturday job we are running two Zipper Spinners on.

"Look ma, no cord!"

How about something you can bite?

I love my Zipper already. I cleaned 3 loose rugs and my shop carpet. I learned how to adjust for different heights. I am going to try it out on a job tomorrow

It does well on rugs. Not pit washing but better than a wand.

That's uncalled for.

Good flushing action and good drying. I like the clearview hose. Let's you see if you are still picking up moisture. It's a little harder to feel the difference compared to a wand. You have to listen closely

You're the guy who invited me to play with your zipper. I was sitting here minding my own business, pretty much.

I didn't think you would take it literally. Are you one of those funny guys? Just pulling your leg, no, not the middle one. That's Nate's job.

Yikes!

Although I got the Zipper for commercial work, I wanted to see how it would perform residentially. Tried it on a small 3 bedroom townhouse, just traffic areas. I was really surprised at how easy it was. Anything I can do with a wand, I can do it better with a zipper. I used twice as much cleaning solution but left the carpets drier than with a wand. These were very tight quarters with 2 inch hose but it took me less than an hour for 3 small rooms, hall and stairs. Carpet is an olefin berber style. Easy to adjust wheel height for different styles of carpet.

When you get more time under your belt, you'll get the feel of the wheel adjustment.... I set mine on commercial glue down and never messed with it again... And then you start experimenting with taking off the weights on the head... Bigger and longer jobs will go by faster without the weights on it.... I used to always leave them on thinking it was biting/deeper extraction but only adds weight to the head wearing me out faster....

New tools/toys are always fun!! Congrats...

Don't get too hung up on adjusting the wheels, it drove me crazy for awhile, but now I rarely touch them.
