How wide is too wide for a wand?

[Mikey P]

I'm surprised at how many people contacted me asking if this 24" wide Dang wand with work with such and such a unit.

Vacuum wise it's less overall than the airflow of a 13" zipper, but a Zipper has excellent funneled airflow spread out evenly to the two 13" ports.

I guess the only potential "issue" with the width itself would be wicking/wet spots from uneven floors

Butler makes a 24" wand and I have tried it because generally they make good stuff. Quickly sold it!

BTW it was a 1.5" wand LOL!

Butler also makes a 10 inch 3 jet wand. Puts your power where you need it.

If you were using it as an everything wand another concern would be poor lift from too much slot area. I think surface cleaning the type of carpet in Mikey's pic is what these are made for.

I think once you go past the 14" mark you are pushing it on effectiveness.

the swivel is a real bad idea for this wand..

The uneven floors will bite you plenty on commercial. Back in the day we would use a 24 inch Steam Genie drag wand. It worked excellent until you ran into uneven floors. Breaking the seal caused unnecessary vacuum steps that the 16 drag wands didn't have.

A great tool for the right situations but worthless when the floor wasn't smooth and even.

It’s too wide if it won’t fit between the night stand and the corner of the BR
Just a bit too wide
Always

That's why we move it.

there is clearly a need for a 2 headed wand with 2 swivels for those wanting more yet less

 

[Old Coastie]

So why all the holes? Were there some castors on it?

its a two piece head with internal funnels/baffles bolted inside.


uses teflon lips rather than a glide.

why the swivel? so you can try and get a 2ft wide wand into tight spaces and closets?
