It can be a huge difference, yet when I was at the convention in Vegas, you would be amazed how many cleaners refuse to even try the upgrade due to price.

It didn't matter what I told them, they all heard price and said that they could buy 2 of their wands for that price....some even said 3. That was the only variable they could contemplate.

Enjoy that beast.

This is why I hate all the freebie crap at the shows....it attracts exactly who you don't want at a high percentage lowering the quality of the crowds. I've learned to separate the quality from the crowds. Lots of these companies take names like its a contest of who can get the most.....I would rather have 100 quality over 1000 BS names...its more work to yet weed them out.


I'm enjoying the wand .... I remember when I purchased my first new vehicle....I was nervous as I was taking on payments for the first time...my old gas hog was paid for....I did not realize how much cheaper it was to own the new vehicle. Insurance was cheaper, fuel, breakdowns etc etc. This wand is the same, many will never look at it like this.

1.5" wands are generally louder because of vacuum restrictions, that's why stair wands are really loud, because they are smaller.
I'm glad you like the prochem titanium, I actually have one sitting in my garage, I could've sold that to you, it's got brand new solution line, valve and mytee handle ( ergonomic handle ), which I think is the best ergonomic wand handle out there currently, I've compared it with Joe's handle and I like the mytee handle better. Oh it also has fairly new glide too Razz
Just fyi the pmf Mach 15 is slightly lighter and it also can get under furnitures easily.

What are you doing Dp, hoarding wands? I thought I was the salvage yard guy around here. Now you have me curious, which Ti do you have, the older generation 4 jetter Titanium or the 6 jet?

Are you wanting to sell it??

6 jets pc ti, yeah I kinda want to sell it, I'm 75% sure, the other 25% of me thinking I should buy jet extenders and try the wand with those on, wondering if those make big difference or not.
That's the last wand I have in my garage Bob, make me an offer I can't say no to and I'll ship it to you, lol.

I do love my Mach 15 and they are bargains, but I have never tried the PC Ti and have always wondered how well they compare.

Might be a good time to post a wand comparison Dp?

The only downside to a Ti wand is that they tend to look ugly over time compared to a shiny SS wand. Well that and drilling them is a little tricky due to the thinness of the metal wanting to bend from the pressure.

Now that I said that, a Ti wand might be the perfect candidate for a wrap for that very reason? Might have to look into that....

How much was that Ed ? I tried to look for one on Craigslist ( Google search ) and couldn't find it anymore, they are sold really fast ! On ebay they go for around $ 1000 bare and with scratches, the perfect condition goes for $ 1200 bare, it's crazy how expensive they are !

Bob, I'll make a video comparing the mach 15 and pc ti one of these days when I dual wand so that y'all can see.

Just remember folks, it's not the wand that cleans ! It's your hands that will make a difference !

That is well stated Dp and one of those things that many people miss....it is the cleaner more than the tool.

I just had this same conversation over guitars with a few people. I'm pretty sure that Eric Clapton would still sound like Eric Clapton on a cheap instrument, but buying a very expensive guitar will not make me sound like Clapton.

The value to a nice tool is that it can improve your efficiency and ergonomics, but it still takes the cleaner to know what the hell he/she are doing.

As for the head-to-head comparison, I really do want to see that video. The PMF Mach 15 is less than half the price yet is a great wand....just curious if it lives up to the PC version.

I was going to do that today at that 10 k sq ft office but one of my machine kept shutting off, I had to run 2 solution lines and help moving some chairs, next time I'll do that and post the video here.
