I can't wait to go clean carpet tomorrow with my new wand!

[Mikey P]

Truth…

You know I’m a wand hoe, but are there any advantages over my SS12?

1. you can step down to four flow, if you are at 6 on the SS and get the same performance and better dry times.
2. no over spray
3. heavier, but not too heavy so nicer on some pile types
4. triangle shape has it's advantages.
5. no cuff adaptor needed if you use a whip
6. shinier
7. less jets to maintain



SS12 positives
1. much lighter.
2. sic @$$ Glide swapping
3. Hard Surface Glide
4. lower head in the center

I didn’t think about the flow thing. At 4 flow, the droplet size from bigger jets likely cancels out the extra flow advantage from 6 flow.

Well I was very surprised that in my version of God's country yesterday on that thick filthy carpet how quick it was drying was six flow at 400 PSI but I still plan on dropping it down to four

Remember Sodom and Gomorrah?

My area has an NHL team in the playoffs.

Anyone who is concerned about overspray should try the Mach 12 from PMF. The side wings tend to keep everything on the carpet. Lightest wand I have.

Too light

 

[Mike J]

Too light

exactly. That is another point on the pcqj being my choice. Since all carpet I clean is on the ground, having some weight to it gives it better agitation, and dry time. With the glide helping it slide around it is perfect. Besides bringing it into the job once on site, it is all about gravity to help bring it back down to the truck. Thankfully in this business its all on the floor. Let the weight be your helper.

I agree. Except that little 11"er. 2 more inches (pcti) will help you enjoy your job even more

 

[Mikey P]

The PCQJ is needlessly heavy.

Just a fact.

 

[Mikey P]

Oh and..

You have my permission to punch me in the throat if you hear me using the words "Game Changer"...

Im mostly residential. All the tight spots and little closets and corners I prefer the PCQJ. The Mach 15 is on standby for larger areas than average. Awkwardly light too.

I have a Prochem quad jet and it works well but is a tank. I think the Prochem titanium would be a great wand. Haven't used one yet.

a TI version of the QJ, with a window, would be the holey grail of wands. A real game changer...

You dont get to have an opinion in a wand thread.

20 years and three wands later creates a "I want" list that Im not interested in.

BTW, a proper wand should be the following:

Comfortable
Affordable
Built to take abuse
Able to rinse and extract without streaks or soak the pad
Easy to work on
Easy to swap out Glides.


$1500 price tags, curb feelers and moisture meters have no appeal to the gen pop.

And ummm this bad boyz for sale with all the custom upgrades.


I do agree, not one wand works for everything.

Yeah but one of the things I loved about the weight was it was great for olefin berber.

No skip and sealed great.

It doesn't skip with a Glide on it
