Hi Guys
I'm thinking of buying the 13inch zipper wand and would value the advice of current users.
I'm in the UK so would have to import it without seeing or using it beforehand.
I run a Hydramaster Boxer 421 and 80% of the wands use would be on residential jobs with 100% wool or 80/20 wool or polypropylene loop carpets.
So questions as follows
1) I've lower back issues and wanding on the forward stroke kills it after a hard day. Is the zipper really more lower back friendly esp on residential? This is my main reason of interest in the tool.
2) it will never be used on CGD so how does it perform on residential carpets both short and long pile, twist and loop pile, wool and synthetic v a normal wand?
3) will my TM keep up with the tool?
4) is it not more awkward to use around furniture than a normal wand?
5) how does it clean better than a Ti wand as some have suggested. Is it not just a wand with two vac slots?
6) I'm 6'2 so is the handle adjustable to my height?
6) where's the best place to buy?
Many Thanks
Mark
