The future of glided wands

[Mikey P]

With the new wave of wands being designed around the glide we are seeing big improvements in suction...

Will Prochem pay attention and follow suit with a redesign o4g the Quad and Ti?

Do you think most truckmount companies will start offering a new owners a choice?

Will the big franchises ever adapt to glided cleaning methods (mandatory pre scrub)

Will two inch tubes fall out of fashion if 1.5s can offer the same perfomance?

Can a two inch equal Zipper performance?

Will Lisa pay attention?

Will Tom own the cleaning nerd market?








Atlanta is going to be highlighted by new wand unveilings..

And, glide use doesn't mandate a prescrub, but it does require vacuuming.

The front glide on the Zipper does clog up quickly. I used the Zipper yesterday on a large area. It worked out nicely.

I think all you are noticing with the 2-piece glides . . . .

is that they have more surface on the carpet,

which applies more downforce from the same vacuum level.

maybe


but super lightweight wands tend to not bite down.


the Mach12 does.

is this that new traveling wand? if so can you post more pics please.
14 inch head? ti?

I plan on the wands I have being here for some time even if we get some of the new design wands in. so glides will be here for a while.
Lisa may be able to hold that market. I hope the 1.5 inch wands work as well as the build up.
I wish Tom all the best in his Elite cleaners market niche (nerds)

I have a Evo 16.
It is okay, it has good airflow, but it has a bit of a bite on the carpet, so it will wear you out possibly, it actually hurt my wrist after a while and I stopped using it.

It is a wand made for production work on open areas, not very well suited for resi work as the head is to wide and to tall to get under things, but on empties it was great.

The jets and spray bar are not optimum it is okay but I think you loose a bit of heat because the jets are pretty far from carpet, and they don't spray to edge they are about 1/4"-3/8" short of the edge of the wand glide.

I traided for it, the man I got it from said it hurt his wrist also, but he was a little shorter than me and said maybe that had somthing to do with it, after using it for a while I don't feel that was the issue, it just bites the carpet more and that is why it started to bother my wrist also.

At the time I was looking at the EVO and PC TI when I was asked about a traid, because I was looking at both I went ahead and got the EVO.....that now sits in storage, I don't think if I would have went ahead and got the PC TI that it would be sitting in storage, I would be using it still today.

Hope that helps a bit.
