Title: Zipper Carpet Cleaning Tool
Post by: Dennis on January 25, 2010, 03:16:27 pm
I thought of Shaun when I saw the little lad operating this, now he can get his kiddies earning.  ;D ;)

Not heard of the Zipper before wonder how it compares to the RX20 or Rotovacs on commercials?

It's just a big wand ...............it WILL work, but, is it worth the money............don't think so.

 I think solutions were going to sell this wand a while ago,
it was on worldofclean, not sure if it still is, was thousands i think.

Would need less dry passes, otherwise not worth the money

I think it was a couple of thou !
Cleaned on the push and the pull strokes so going to cut the time.
Useful on big jobs I suppose.
Dont think it ever got to these shores.

Yeah I spoke to Nick about it a while a go, he said the maths just didn't add up to import it.  Shame really as I bet I'm not the only one who'd like a demo.  However it does make you wonder if it's one of those tools that looks really good on the advertising but actually ends up being a bit pants ::)

I get the impression from the video that air flow's not as good as it might be...............look at the accumulation of water in the " window "

Its abit like the Prochem Power glide in the way that you can only work back n forth.  Personally i thought the Power Glide was pants.  Ok if you can pick one up second very cheap other wise i wouldnt bother.  The RX20 would be a MUCH BETTER option.
