Glides were designed to be used with powerful truckmounts where it was difficult to move the wand due to the imense suction. I tried one and didn't like it. Lots of people swear by them but personally I think they leave the carpet wetter especially if used with a portable.

I use a truck mount and have ordered a Prochem Teflon wand glide to try on my prochem wand.

The Greenglides last longer than the Prochem ones in my opinion - but there again they are more pricy.
Hope you got a slotted one - the holed ones clog up and don't lift the lint nearly as easily
