My husband wants to buy a zipper wand.
What do you currently use? Wand or rotary tool for your cleaning?
Is it really worth the price?
Yes the quality of the Zipper with out a doubt justifies the cost of the tool.
Is it durable, meaning what is most likely to break down on it?
The tool is one of the most overbuilt tools I have seen so the only breakdown would be just normal things any other tool would be subject too.....JETS, GLIDES, maybe the hook up line in time.
He has looked at a few other wands. There is a spinner wand but he doesn't think that it would do very well. We do mostly residential cleaning and some commercial cleaning.
This comment leads me to believe you are trying to decide if you want a rotary tool or zipper
Does it work well on residential jobs?

It is a incredible wand/tool BUT just like any tool it has its place, and it also depends on the prep of the carpet prior to using the tool. It does a great job for me in residential ( but mine are normally empty nothing in my way ). A smaller house, filled with furniture may give you a little trouble trying to get around things.
I own one and see both sides of what poeple say about the Zip. The best I can say is read the post links Mikey provided and then YOU will have to make that choice. It is a awesome tool...you wont find a tool with more quality in the build as the zipper has. The zipper as amazing as it is, is still a wand.....a bad ass wand, but if you are looking for something to give you aggitation to help with dirty carpets that a normal wand is leaving you with subpar results, a crb or rotary may be worth looking at.
I am not knocking the ZIPPER in any way, but I also don't know what you are trying to decide on where money should go Zipper or Rotary
Hope this helps
