I use it cause it fixed the pain I was getting in my wrist
then you should continue to use it, Andy.
As i mentioned, it actually IS a good cleaning wand ...splash spray notwithstanding
if i did more carpet (we do very little these days) I'd use it as my "speed dry" wand .
You know, for those custys that have light soil/well maintained carpet where you don't need to throw fire hose flow and pressure washer psi at it.
(overkill is trendy around here)
Turn the psi down to 275-300, make the carpets fresh and beautiful again AND dry in no time
when I was on the truck everyday, i did just that..had/used two wands regularly
one set up for heavy flush/rinse and the lower flow jetted "dry wand" i ran at 300psi
