If the wheels were soft like my old power head rotovac it would easily glide over slider tracks. It could also use a small holder for the fels. maybe some jets facing backward.

Actually I believe the wheels are really not made for general rolling of the Zipper in all conditions but more of the aid in helping the Zipper to work and float at proper height on Carpets
A chain to wear it around the neck when not in use.Self-propulsion, headlights, and sound system.
Ipod or phone holder.
Lol! 8 track player!! Those things sounded awful!....and still, not a word about a coffeecup holder or eight track player..
i bought another at ice!Every tool can be improved. That's what got Erik to the current zipper model. It's not the perfect tool. But it's the best performing wand on the market when it comes to flushing out carpet. I like the idea of a side to side brush on the front for agitation. The actual reality of that would probably make the head clunky and weird.
The magnet that holds the handle upright is very strong. It would be nice to hit a button and have the handle drop. Putting your foot on the head is a tiny inconvenience.
As far as price. I'm totally fine with it. It is fair. It is built like a 2000 dollar tool should be. I have used the zipper every day that I've worked since buying it. And I'm buying another in Atlanta.
softer wheels will wear and have other potential problems.
why would erik change proven parts of his units unless there was failure or a good improvement on it?
I was in shock. He said that's how they open it.
I made him Step Away the Zipper.
Don't bust my shit right in front of me!
The wheels are made the way that they are so as you are using the tool it can slide right or left for you. On a Rotovac the wheels can be rubber because they are only used when transporting the unit, not while in operation. If the wheels were rubber and you were transporting the Zipper on the wheels instead of using the handle to carry it, people would be rolling it on concrete and if they hit a bump it would slam the head down onto the pavement which would damage the glides. I know you have been a big supporter of the Zipper, and I always appreciate any input regarding updates or improvements. As far the jets go, you would not have a stop or start point if you had a set of jets going backwards. You would also have to cut your flow down in half to accommodate jets spraying towards each vacuum port.If the wheels were soft like my old power head rotovac it would easily glide over slider tracks.

Have to disagree. Had it since 2002 and the wheels have never once given me a problem. They have never gotten clogged with hair or other fibers. They roll easily over all surfaces in silence and especially the metal tracks. The show zero signs of wear verses the zipper wheels which are beat up and constantly clogs with hair. I always Carry in the zipper but always used the wheels to roll in the rotovac.

The closest I can come to supporting jets on both vacuum ports will be the spinner. It will be released the beginning of April. Thank you for all of your support!
