I don't think it was ever on a throne. If anyone tells you they use it on every job...either their full of shit or they aren't cleaning carpet properly. It's too bulky to clean in tight spaces

But on the big open spaces, it gives your shoulder a break and is a need for those type of jobs
i once did a big church job with my son. I probaly cleaned 2x what the other crew (much younger than I) only cuz I had the Zipper and they had wands. (I admit that had big wide open areas but so did they.)

you guys are silly either you don't do a ton of commercial or you switched to the darkside vlm.

you don't need or wont like them if you are 99% residential but if you do commercial all the time it is the best

What PSI are you using in this video?
Will 12.6-13 inches of lift be enough to run this wand?
It's been a while...

Don't I say the psi in the video?

What truckmount do you own and what are you looking to do with a zipper, and are you interested in the spinner or the regular model

Speaking of, since the question has been answered, and Chavez is mentioned 😬 Does Marty or Mike know if he's still working at the university, or at all? (thread robber)

A nice light weight wand designed with airflow in mind (instead of looks) coupled with #4blower spinned by 27 kohler command in the right hands…..hard to pry my hands away from my Mach12 wand.

Good to see u bro…

Had a Zipper when I did commercial. Two years I quit commercial so I sold it. Then just a couple weeks back a church calls and wish I kept it. So I bought a used one just for this job because I knew it would save my body. It does not save time, not noticeably anyway. Will keep it 'just in case' Built well

My apologies my volume was turned down when I hit play and missed the audio at the beginning.
Performer 405.
I am trying to figure out if I want a spinner, Jetted or if a Trinity as my next tool. My plan is to go after commercial

In order to effectively use a super spinner, your truck mount needs to sustain 200° plus at 1,000 PSI..

Not many of them do that.

Mine started out as a 405 but I have removed all heating components of the machine and added a lil giant so it might. Not sure if it will maintain 200 plus at 1000 psi but I guess I can set up a wand tile tool with similar flow and see how long it can maintain

Highly recommend that you do so
