Opinions on wands

[Ross Buettner]

I am going to be buying a wand in the next week.

I've only used a few, and really liked a Prochem Titanium. I am looking at some company that makes a knock off of the same for about 400.00. I'm not too sure about it though...you get what you pay for.

I guess I am going to get a glide too... so...

Let's hear everyone's ideas

PMF makes a $600 titanium wand. it's a 6 jet 15 inch. if you want something big I'd want that. I spoke to them on the phone recently though and they're about to release a 4 or 5 jet 12 inch titanium after the 1st of the year. I'm holding out for that one because I do mostly residential work. I think the 15 inch could be too large for most homes. Definitely want one with a 2 inch tube though.

BTW - pmf makes the prochem wand.

PC Ti wand cant be beat for durability, performance and longevity.

But it cost too much, especially after you rejet, retrigger and Glide it.

Go for it if you have the funds

I am really liking the west pac wand....(the new version).....I pretty much retired the TI wand.....

Are you still running that hole glide?

 

[Jim Martin]

yep......

 

[daniel@procarpet]

I have used the hole, slot, and unglided.

Hands down the slot is 10 times better. There is more suck and the carpets get cleaned deeper. Much deeper.

What do you like about the hole?

Have you tried a slot?

 

[Jim Martin]

I have an hybrid..slot..and the hole glide for the Ti wand....I always seem to go back to the hole glide because I like the dry times......so because of this I am not going to buy any other type of glide for the west pack.....

I have four PC Ti wand, they are well made and will probably last me till I retire in 20 years :roll:

 

[Ross Buettner]

Help me out here... PC? I know what TI is

 

[carpetcleaner]

PC = Prochem

 

[Lee Stockwell]

PC is ProChem in this context.

Ross;

We have used both the 14" Titanium w/glide . . .

and the 14" Mytee Bentley w/ G-glide.

I think the Mytee has the best cleaning ability of all the 14" wands.

I was making sure it wasn't a company tradename used often here. I'm still new.

Jim, is your Ti wand and any extra glides going to be for sell soon?

 

[Ron Werner]

I started with the slot glide.
Then the hybrid.
I get best dry times with the holed glide.

 

[Jim Martin]

Jim, is your Ti wand and any extra glides going to be for sell soon?

no.... it just hangs in the truck for a back up.......


But..I do have a 1.5 hydramater...single jet straight wand that has been sitting in my storage for about 6 years ...with a hybrid glide on it that I will let go for 300 bucks........
