These pics show the "attic" space at the top of the wand head, this gives excellent airflow all the way across the head, if you look close you will see the 2" tube actually feeds UP into the attic space and then out to the wand slot.
The jets are only 1" off of the carpet for maximum heat retention, and minimal humidity in the room, important at 240ºf.

Think most will only want one ???

Looks like one of the wands Solutions were selling a year or so ago, if so, they are extremely light, which is good, but the one I got refused to shut off when releasing the trigger.
They were selling at around £95 £150, but it may be an entirely different beast !
-
can someone on any of the forums please tell us the price!!
-
Steve is it 12 or 14 inch?
12 or 14" available
-
Steve
Are you the local agent for Greenie or are you planning to import a few ?
Cheers
Doug
-
No but I want one,the more people that get them the cheaper they are going to be,you know me always looking for a bargain
-
no one is going to order something that they don't know the price of, how about a ballpark figure say between £300 & £450
I want to order one but I want an idea how much it will cost, I can't believe of all the post about this here & on Truckmounter that no one knows how much it is
-
i thought the same as carpet guy. looks like a duraglide wand with different jet set up! and a glide on!
Cheers Goron
-
That's the name Goron, it was on the box mine came in
-
FOR GODS SAKE WILL SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE A PRICE FOR THIS WAND, MIKE HAS ASKED 100 TIMES WITH NO ANSWER
HOW MUCH IS IT
-
The lads who imported them in themselves paid somewhere in the region of $649 but other products were shipped in too.Don't know what price hydramaster are looking at with vat + delivery.
-
Hi Carpet Guy - might the name be Dura-Kleen?
I bought Spencer Davies's Scorpion and a 2 jet wand came with which looks like what Ste Gunn has photoed except "his" has 3 jets and extension pieces to take them nearer the carpet plus the glide.
-
I think the wand should choose the Wizard. ;D
-
Just found one with SIX jets $339 postage not quoted for UK, but can't imagine anyone would want six jets.
-
its a cmp wand thats the company who make them, greenie strips it down, puts his own stuff on it and calls it a greenhorn,
instead of everyone bein a prat and going on about how much they are, phone hydramaster up and ask them, they need to know who interested, once they have numbers, and they working the shipping cost out then am sure they'll give you a price,
-
so why didn't someone say that in the first place, but I would believe some one has already called hydramaster and put in an order, are they sworn to secrecy about how much it is ::)
because of all the interest shown surely someone knows how much they are, unless some are paying less than others :o :o
I'll call and order one on Monday ( as long as its not silly money)
Mike
-
What if we went to do a quote and wouldnt answer it because we didn't know how many other houses we were doing down the street the same day. Would that be professional or unprofessional ???.
-
I have rang hydramaster and he was waiting for a call from greenie about price
-
I have emailed them to register my interest.

Any thoughts on which size would be best ? 12 or 14inch ?
thanks
Chris
-
14" £420+vat
-
12 inch also £420 + vat
Ordered mine :)
-
12" £420 not a bad price with glide. Ordered mine :)
-
Im not paying £500. it might be a good wand but I don't think itsworth spending that amount on a wand when I've got 5 already
I've seen the design I have a 12inch & 14 westpak wand,I might have a go at realigning the jets myself.
Mike
-
Mike I hear the other channel is getting arsy ::) and that they are blocking people trying to defend you, sounds like the usual stuff and nothing changes with them boys :(
-
I dont think Mike needs anyone to act as his defence, sure he can do that himself.
However, Shaun had an input, and indeed others have had a say on the subject as well.
Mountain out of a molehill comes to my mind.
-
Mike is one of the last people on God's earth to need someone to stand up for him but sometimes a friendly face can help calm the waters.
Shaun

And those waters certainly get rough at times.

back to topic.
in a moment of weekness I've just rang H/M and ordered a 14inch one
if I don't get 30second drying times its going back!! ;) ;)
-
and i have just dropped your wand back off Mike,
Geoff
-
Its a simular spec wand to the prochem titanium, but half the price!
a good buy!
-
Yeah Mike he's dropped your wand now back off ;D ;D
-
The Prochem Titanium has 6 jets but if Greenies wands work anywhere near as well as the Titanium, they definatly would be worth the money,and the glide is a must.
Mark
-
I reckon the greenhorn is bloody good value, but I use the titanium, I obviously paid twice as much for the snob value, good job I am a snob ain't it John, if you know what I mean. ;D ;D ;D
-
Which Glide are you lads having with this wand ?
Holed
Slotted
Hybryd ?
And will you have the wand "cut" on the lip so that the glide can be easily slid on or off ?
regards
Chris
-
I'm getting the slotted, and I usually fix them with instant gasket so the are nice and snug.
-
I'm getting the slotted

Hello Gents,
I made this wand to be a value priced item, some day I'll make a titanium version and might even make a few tweaks, but I got my money where my mouth is, if you don't think it's an excellent tool and one of the best buys in your career I will buy it back no questions asked.
I put every bell and whistle known on this wand, the valve is a pleasure to use, the solution line is teflon and stainless wrapped in urethane jacket, the jets are high flow and come with checkvalves and extenders to place the jet 1" from the carpet.
This allows for almost no heat loss and low humidity in the air, and they will not streak because of the angle I place the jet manifold at, which also allows for cleaning at a high pressure than normal which adds agitation and speeds rinsing.
Don't forget the rubber coated forward handle, valve trigger, and double thick rubber shrink wrap on the valve tube, it's not vinyl that slips when hot. Add to that an additional trip to the metal polisher for a finish that looks sharp and physically stay clean longer.
I can be so confident because the only wand that even comes close is the Titanium, and you would have to add $300 in upgrades to compare.

Agree on the few i have cleaned since Friday :)
-
Ditto, I am having a bit of a purge on wands at the moment and I am really glad that I chose the Greenhorn to be one of them.
Dave.
-
Well a week on whats owners opinions? i am getting used to the feel of the wand and it has a dramatic effect on my drying times compared with my 2 jet westpac.
-
I have the 14inch version coming tom. Has Anyone brought the 14 inch version?? If so whats your opinion?? Looking forward to using it nest week.
-
Hi, I am from Canada. The more you use these wands, the more you will love them. We had two titanium wands, but now they just collect dust. The Greenhorn produces amazing dry times and is not that much heavier. We later ordered a kit from Greenie to trick out the titanium, and it is closer in performance, but still not the same.
It seems many of you use a 12" for residential, is that for maneuverability or to keep the air flow concentrated? I have only used 14" up to now, but I am wondering about trying a 12" for even faster dry times. I would appreciate any input from those who have used both sizes. (Any wand not just the greenhorn.)
-
Steve
Will we see the wand at the ccdo?
Len
-
If Steve is not bringing his down to the CCDO would some body else bring one so we can give it a run.
Greenie you may get more business yet ;)
-
if i come i will bring mine
-
if i come i will bring mine
Mark,
We're upto about 35 paid now and gonna restrict numbers soon. Get your name down or you may miss out on what looks like being a great day!
Will be good to see your wand in action :o. The greenie that is ;D
-
Thats what i tell the Mrs ::)
-
I will bring mine with my new van too 8)
-
used my 14 inch greenhorn today today with amazing results. the drying time is amazing and the speed it cleans with is just beyond campare. Throughly enjoyed using it today altho it is a fraction heavier than my old westpac
-
Seems about the same weight as my 2 jet westpac maybe slightly heavier
-
Every so often someone ask me about the weight, it jsut so happens the 14" WestPak and the Greehorn both weigh in at 10.35 lbs isn't that about 1 stone?
-
Its a good few pounds under a stone Jeff - 3.65 lbs under actually, which is a fair amount.
