why!!!!!!!!!!
you already got bloody 3 of them :D
-
The lightest wand there is Prochem Ti wand, I have one and it is very light, some how don't know why but it dries carpet faster than my Duraclean/westpak and that had the same spec.
The best wand in the world is a WiFi wand where you don't need to attach any hoses ;D

No you have to plug it in, what about a scrubbing brush?

How do you rate the evolution? Currently using a wonder wand but not getting on too well with it....also looking for recommendations.

sarah the evo wand is nice and light to use but i thinks its cheaply made, it marks up really easy and overspray can be a bit of a problem with it. i brought it for my sister who works for me as its nice and light.
Sean - yes the prochem ti wand looks amazing and im going down prochem to have a look and maybe buy one, but the price tag is a bit steep. the new stryker wand looks good but i reckon the small holes used for the jetless flow will constantly get blocked!!
mike - yes i have 3 wands but im a sucker for buying new stuff and when i get a impulse to buy something i cant stop ;).

Sarah,
I have an evolution wand. Very light, great glide (and I don't like glides) and very impressive even spray from the SIX jets across its wide track.
However - the jets get blocked quickly and with 6 of them it usually means 2 or 3 blocked at a time so a pain in mid-job. It is very long (longer than the Prochem TM wands) so I only use it when I need to which means commercial jobs.

Luc and Slioch, thanks for your replies. Has anyone else used a wonder wand? What are your opinions on them?
-
I do , they are brilliant, what's wrong with them?
-
I used a Wonderwand with the CFR500 I had. Perfect match. Great results.
Used it on a different machine and didnt particularly like it - dont understand why.
-
Try the Bentley carbon fibre lighter than the Ti
-
That looks nice, whats it like to use, di you import it and if so how much?
Cheers

Looks like my old Bane wand, only thing missing is the heat shield that stops over spray, Luc they make a rip off Ti wand with a Titanium head and Stainless shaft, I think they are about half the price of Prochems.
I'll see if I can find a link.

With Joe Bristows high shear kit not getting allot of over spray if any.
Think it was about $550 Delivered 14" 5 jet version but it needs a real glide.
joebristor@earthlink.net for price.
Only had it three months so early days but light as a feather and favour it over the greenhorn at moment.

Joe's a specialist inventor wish he had a website.
