I can understand what Derek is saying. I have a brand new wand with an enclosed head, I think it came from Alltec though I can't remember. Tried it a few times and the fact I could not see the the water hitting the carpet really put me off. I was forever checking to see how dry it was. I'd like to try an RX though, I use a rotary for LM, agitation etc it's an old victor and is perfect for the job.
