Title: Wand
Post by: markbetts on December 03, 2016, 05:22:24 pm: The secondhand machine i purchased came with a wonder wand.
Not really knowing anything about these as have in the past used the normal wand.

Are they any good?

once you do it makes life so easy.

I am so use to seeing the "spray" or steam when I am cleaning. I am finding myself checking it's actually working :)

How are they easier ? If you don't mind me asking

easy to move. If you have a particularly bad patch of carpet you can spray on
the forward and back stroke. On large areas you can easily wand one handed.
And unlike glides on a conventional wand which actually reduce suction by
allowing more air into the end of the wand by lifting it slightly, The Wonderwand
maintains a very good seal on the carpet being cleaned.
With this wand you can clean at 500Psi without any fear of over wetting, obviously
it's rare to need it, but very handy to have.

And how are you finding the hoses , I have heard some say that you lose vac power?

I may be the wand but it doesn't sound as if a lot of air is being sucked through the wand .

With a traditional wand I can remember hearing a lot more airflow ?

Thanks
