Title: Price differences
Post by: stuart_clark on April 22, 2013, 11:35:05 am

How can there be so much difference in price from supplier to supplier ?
I was looking on Johns website a few mins ago at an angled Kingston valve with Lever for £19.95 yet the same valve is on world of clean for £39.99 ? It beggers belief at the comparison !!

To be fair Stuart they are not the same valves. Ours are genuine Kingston from the USA. Not sure what make the other one is.

My wand is a Westpack and the one on Johns site is Identical to the one on the wand! I did purchase a stainless steel replacement but that was over £60 to my recolection

I rate the Westpac SS soft touch over the Kingston; don’t think they are interchangeable between different manufactures of wands with out modification ???

For the same reason there can be similar differences in carpet cleaning charges.  They are all different.
