It's about time the wand manufacturers starting building stainless steel glided heads onto their wands.

Agree with that

Simon's spot on there should be no need to spend an extra £100 or so for a carpet wand to function better.

everyone knows my stance on the gay blade, sorry girl glide, oops i mean green glide.

if you can get airflow through the back of a carpet then a glide is a step backwards, if you can't get airflow through the back of a carpet then a glide is a must. there, ive said my piece now you girls can carry on without me.

Other suppliers of course.

Glides can be wand specific so be careful when buying on.

They are teflon, so slippy (they glide over the carpet)

Can get them with holes, or slots, or a combination of holes and slots.

I prefer the slots only, but each to there own.

Thanks Joe - I've dropped them an email to check whether that glide will fit my three machines.  £120 does seem very expensive for a piece of 'placca' to fit on the bottom of the wand! But if it reduces strain as much as it suggests it'd be worth it.  No machoism here, if it makes life easier, I'll gladly join the 'girl glides' !

6FT 3" 17 STONE GIRLIE GLIDER WELL HAPPY

And i still reckon west the pest uses one on the quiet

[derek west]

hand on heart, never on domestics. always on low profile tiles and rubber backs, its all about the result. and i like a good workout, keeps me fit. plus ive never been worried about chipping a nail like you lot.

[Steve. Taylor]

Never bothered me derek breaking a nail i get new ones stuck on every 6 weeks.

[David Rogers]

Me too, a broken nail in the call of cc duty is something to chat with Sonia about, while she's doing me purple rinse & manicure every 6 weeks.

i couldnt imagine cleaning a carpet without a glide!! much much much easier than without one (i have a dodgy back so my glide is purely to ease the pain!!)

[David Rogers]

Well before I invest in a glide, I've gotten hold of some "MAGIC LIPS" (as suggested by Nick @ Solution, cheers Nick). I know it's not a Glide but worth a try first, as they're only £19!

Also, thanks to Steve Gunn, who's offered to let me try a wand with a full glide fitted. Cheers Steve, I'll be in touch. 

[Joe H]

Let us know how you get on with the "lips" please
