ZIPPER WAND

My impression is that its too long and only for open space commercial.

And Pleassseeeeee! Get away from those overpriced Glides!

 

[Out of Character - 0]

I'd rather drag wand space like that from 1 end to the other.

 

[truckmount girl]

The ad specifically says it's for commercial carpets.

Personally I think the glides are a nice touch. Wish I had got out of the booth and outside to give the Zipper a run.

Take care,
Lisa

The Zipper could easily be used as traditional drag wand, but it's much easier to handle all around, the two vacuum slots are giving you a free dry pass, something you don't get with a drag wand or any wand for that matter.

I operated that tool with one hand on the AT at Connections, He should have showed that action on the video, also I would have liked to see the 7 jet manifold and it's forward angled jets, that is an important part of this tools cleaning potential, I used it at 700 psi and it was very dry.

 

[boazcan]

Wow, that looks pretty neat.

Does anyone know if it actually works? Anyone try it at connections?

Put a 2.5" port on it and rock n roll. I like it.

I have to be honest here..


Totally unimpressed.

 

[Steve Smith]

I gotta agree with Mikey.

I will probable be even more unimpressed when I hear the price.

 

[Mikey P]

Don't bother, I already tried it.


Too short, too heavy & too hard on pile carpet.

I don't do enough CGD to make me even remotely interrested.



But I bet a short guy who cleans Denny's and Sanje 6's for a living would love a tool like that.


Send a demo unit to Terry.

 

[Jimmy L]

It looks like it only goes in a straight line.
How do you get it to make another row?



As always the trinket salesman have NO clue to actually using it.

 

[hogjowl]

Tough crowd this morning.

However, it's nice to see the folks with negative reviews posting, instead of hiding out of fear.

here it is in action

That first video, both of those guys would NEVER work for me. Not with the tactics they were using anyways. No corner guard on the door, drag the hoses inside, blasting spots with prespray, etc.

My first 50 feet of vacuum hose and solution line, have never touched ground outside of a home or building..PERIOD. I don't see any reason for it. All your going to do, is pick up some debris in the hose that Mrs. Piffleton is going to see, and then question your "details" in the work. The blue jeans were a horrible addition to a nice AT and truck.

OH, about the zipper. I was unimpressed. I'd much rather use a glided RX or dual wand with drag strokes.

 

[Jimmy L]

Kevin can you fill out your profile correctly?

Where are you from?

Is it too hard?

 

[FastEddie]

Lame. If you are gonna HWE large open areas like that, a glided RX20 is the ticket.

 

[Kevin B]

Kevin can you fill out your profile correctly?

Is it too hard?

Can you read?

 

[Ron Werner]

The Zipper would be much easier and way quicker than an RX20. Just push it like a lawn mower.
I tried it in Vegas. I'd never use it residentially or small commercial, but long stretches of commercial would be a slice.

 

[Greenie]

Some salesmen put some time behind it, not judged by a youtube video (which didn't demonstrate the wand all that well).

The Zipper has more flexibility that an RX, and it has no cord, that cord would be a PITA on a huge ballroom. On light soil you could walk forward like a lawn mower, making 50' passes, and just zipper stroke over 15" and walk backwards and slow down for the nasty stuff, it really doesn't need a dry pass as that is what the second wand slot is for. It would give your arms a break on 20,000 sq. ft. job, that is for sure.

Using it on a 10' patch of renter grade cut pile at a 3 day show is not a really good judge of a piece of equip.

 

[Jim Martin]

I would love to use with this thing for about a week
and see how it works...................

someone send me one.....................

 

[Numero Uno]

Sorry,but ditto Kev and Mike on this one...

Course ,I have been known to be wrong ???

 

[XTREME1]

similar to the maxx extractor right? I called to try one they never sent it

 

[Greenie]

Got a Max Xtractor in my shop, still trying to get my head around how it's a good tool?

 

[XTREME1]

maybe it sucks and that is why they never sent it

 

[floorguy]

yeah but we all know how UNEVEN CGD can be....I would think that could be an issue with the drying of it...
