Swivel stair tools

Anyone using one of those swivel headed stair wands?

I'm not certain I like the design of it, but my 30 inch stair tool is starting to lose its charm to the point that I have gone back to just using my carpet wand (not very comfortable).

We have one on our express, my buddy likes it.. he said theres a bit of a learning curve.


I tried it on one job and it about killed me, was really hard to keep the vac slot down on the stair treads and it just doesnt bite at all. Didnt feel like I was getting a good flush as the jet is mounted up pretty high.

It also seemed like water recovery wasnt great so I was double dry passing. Using the swivel to hit the risers was kinda nice but I think Ill stick to the standard stair tools.


My next one will be, 12inch head instead of 10 and about 45in long with the new longer handle Joe carrys that he puts on the VTs

actually want a VT head on a short tube with no glide

I'm just so used to the regular stair tool that I don't think swivel would work for me, the fact that the head can move just don't feel right especially when you're cleaning the horizontal part of the stairs.

Thanks guys, I trust your views....sounds like a poor choice for me.
