What's the better tool to purchase?

A spinner like turbo hybrid type wand or a specialized tile wand with squeegee head like the one Mikey uses?

Turbos are pretty expensive and honestly I have no idea how much a gecko type wand costs.

I want to offer this service. As with most things right now, I'll have to buy used stuff and work my way up to new.

Should I start with a gecko type wand to get by and then upgrade to a TH or Mytee or just spend a little more up front and jump in and go for a TH OR... will a squeegee type be all I need?

Thanks y'all!

You need both tools
The spinner goes first. There is a magic that happens under the dome that cant be duplicated with a wand.

The Turbo Hybrid or the SX12 are the best. Dont go cheap.


You can get by for a while with a glided carpet wand for edging, corners and tight spots. A good hard surface wand will clean virtually any hard surface, just not as deep as a spinner

I would think start with that and a grout brush for sure.

Add on more as you go.

Edging out might be some hands and knees and rag work as you will still run into that even with other tools.

The turbo spinner is just way too valuable of a tool for that kind of work in my opinion
