misunderstanding....you would have to commit to using it for more than one job...old habits are hard to break, this beast takes an open mind to say the least.
It was really meant for production cleaners, Apt. hacks, and guys who clean WIDE staircases like at movie theatres and such, but...if you can hack out a staircase with a Ti wand, you can use this faster and easier.
You can add a forward handle to it for $30 but it really doesn't need one, it's nice to place your hand anywhere on the insulated tube, more agile than it looks.
Cooper just ordered one for his $99 homes, apparantly he charges extra for stairs on in the pennysaver and needs a way to knock them out in 7 mins.
