If you had to pick one at this point, which is more important, the suction or the swivle?


Which could you live without?

Hard to decide. Even with a monster TM you sacrifice a good bit of vac power when moving from a 12" wand to a "14. The Devastator makes up for that and then some.

That being said, I haven't touched a rigid wand in over 2 months and suspect it would be miserable to switch back.

I would not want to have to give up either....

But for the cheaper carpet cleaners out there....I would hope they would get away from the cheap wands and at least get something such as this with performance!

But knowing what I have right now....I could not go backwards....

I have said from the get go that the swivel is just a perk that just comes along with the performance and the quality of this wand..but after using it..there is no way I could ever go back to a straight wand...nor would I ever give up the performance...so your not getting neither from me...........

So does all this mean if I don't sell my first born to buy this wand I'm a doomed hack?

So what else is new...

MY wants and needs sometimes don't go together but, I have lived without the swivel all this time but I could not live without the suction.

With that said I need to look at my needs a little more closely, I got a Zipper but it looks like I needed the swivel wand.

I can totally relate. I want a few things I shouldn't but I need to pay off this dang TM!

I was just finishing this house up today and Mikey had to listen to the last few minutes of bluetooth noise as I did, walked out to shut down TM and it shut down due to full waste tank.....That never happens it is always the other way around shuts down just before you finish.

Anyway I did this house almost to @Mark Saiger specs as far as pressure at 550-600 psi. Did a good prevac, prescrub, then wanded it out. I was using our hole glide.
We need to make a adjustment on our hole glides for CGD carpet as I think it is off a little but it seems to be okay on resi carpet.

It took me about 1.5 hours to wand this house out, and then wrap up everything before I groomed it out so 1:45 minutes or so. I was pretty happy with the results. I won't lie I am pumped that this is our wand, we are getting very close to making the move over to PMF and I am really looking forward to when that is done.
Ordered parts today to get ready to work on the stair wand woke up early today and drew out some ideas and then ordered the material to see if I can get a prototype good enough to use and if it works good enough to have PMF take a look at it.
