Hi,
I thought hydramaster were selling there teflon glides at a good price at £50 but cleansmart are now doing them for £40 :o so it looks like i will be ordering one from there.

Hydramasters are genuine GreenGlides. You get what you pay for.

I've got 5 sets of glides, slotted-holes-hybrid-12inch-14inch all from different sources all of them looks and feel the same

buy the cheapest you won't notice any difference ;)

Sorry but I beg to differ purchased glide from woodbridge and one from hydramaster  you can tell the difference the woodbridge glide is too flexible & it doesn't fit the wand correctly.The hydramaster glide fits perfectly and is solid not flexible like the woodbridge glide

but how does it feel on the carpet?

once the woodbridge is sealed on ( with mastic?) does it perform any different.

I have both, Green glides and Ken Harris glides and like Mike say's there is no difference between the two only price it seems. At £39.99 I know which ones I'd buy!
How doe's the old saying go wait long enough at a bus stop and two buses come together. ;D

Not always,

I bought a Roberts Dab radio for £120, went t*ts up after 18 months, Curry's told me to do one and I was left with a £50 bill to have a new transformer fitted (the thermo switch had failed).

The bloke told me I had paid £120 for a badge, they are all made the same now in the far east, Roberts is not the great British make we once new.

I also have a Sebo BS36 which also after just 2 years I keep having problems with and my Sebo duo has just failed!

funny you should say that Phil, just think how most of the lads on here and other sites feel about Glides from Matt at £39.99 ea when hydramaster and Greeny was selling them for well over £100 in the first place.
Now thats something to have a RANT about don't you think.

It is, £100.00 + vat is way over the top.

Did I ever mention I was the first person in the UK to get a glide?

I've cut and pasted this comment form 2001, god spend too much time on these forums.

David as you got considerably older did you start to repeat yourself?
