Is there a gadget that this industry is missing?

Do you find yourself thinking EVERY DAY "If only I had a________, this would go so much quicker or come out better..."

other than a two headed wand, what hasn't been invented yet?

Cell phone holder on my wand

 

[Lee Stockwell]

An efficient air-powered vacuum attachment for TM use.

I have it designed, but may never build it.

 

[Cleanworks]

A separate power head for von Schrader machines, so you can clean under beds and in closets.

 

[Mikey P]

I working on a camera filter that removes double chins and boogers so that carpet cleaner Hey Guy videos are somewhat more watchable..

 

[Nomad74]

A Kirby with an edger that you don't need to rebuild the vacuum to use.

 

[Nomad74]

A stair wand designed to clean stairs that go down so you aren't working against your hose.

An efficient air-powered vacuum attachment for TM use.
I have it designed, but may never build it.

I'm interested.
The TurboVacs last longer now that they have a real bearing in place of a bushing. (and you stick a weight over the brush) Still last about two years in our use.

There was a guy at a trade show several years ago surveying people about building a heavy duty metal version. He came back and said he'd have to get a $300 retail price to make it worthwhile. I said if it only lasted five years it would worth the money, but he couldn't find enough other potential buyers, so dropped the idea.

is called a zipper.

Doesn't have to be metal, because the flaw isn't the turbine, but WHERE it's placed.
TMs have an abundance of airflow and lift, often overwhelming the turbine and moving parts.

1. Move the turbine OUT of the debris path.
2.Add a simple reed-type air governor to automatically maintain optimum brush speed.
3. All 2 inch plumbing.

I've got the best, tried the rest. Nothing's perfect.

Maybe an app that lets you monitor engine rpm, oil pressure, water temp etc. and the ability to idle down and turn off or on remotely.

 

[Hack Attack]

The crb wand..



Haven't used this but with 2" plumbing and better wand head I'd think it would give a rotary extractor a run

Its called psychometric profiling, I've had to take more than a few.

We used to use them more for identifying stress response in personnel, ie my P.A's stress response was opposite to mine so she would often misinterpret what I meant and vice versa

 

[JohnHawkP]

A backpack vacuum cleaner with a motorised head that gets it's suction from the TM.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

You mean besides a tile cleaning wand that actually works well?

 

[Desk Jockey]

A rideable ZIPPER so you can drive while cleaning. Joy stick steering like the Rover.

 

[Jim Williams]

A spotter dispenser built onto a wand with a trigger so that I don't have to set my wand down and hunt for my spotter bottles every time I run across a spot.

 

[BIG WOOD]

A de-foamer canister attached to the wand, so you don't have to put the wand down to go get the de-foamer. Just open the valve and it sucks the liquid through the hose.

I made a goofy looking one that actually worked. It was just way too big because Home depot didn't have the right size pipe I needed to look half decent

The same excellent SS upholstery pro + the following:

1. A head that is more narrowly designed so that it can reach under cushions. (In that regard both PMF and Shear dry are better).
2. Upper vacuum slot closer to edge, so that we can get closer to fabric edges.
   
3. A vacuum slot that will fit over and allow for better cleaning of piping. (PMF is great).
4. A spray head in a recessed area on top of the tool (separate trigger), that will allow one to mist fabric when needed.
5. The ability to lock the trigger lock (when cleaning in tight areas sometime it lock itself in the On position).
6. A better metal trigger that is not sharp, does not easily band and if they still choose to use that cheap rubber piece at the end of the trigger, make it more durable and glue it well so it actually sticks.

It will make an already excellent tool into a legend
