Can you divulge the supplier. There are supposedly 'improved' glides recently advertised, but the price is crazy.

Ian if you have a bad wand technique this helps also the drying times are much better because of the airflow. the other plus is the ease of use of the wand as  as it says it glides over the carpet so no lifting or heavy pushing and pulling

Hi Guys,

At £35 a glide it's got to be worth having a go.

What ones are Woodbridge selling exactly?

Green Glides? (expensive)
Magic Glides? (cheap)
Own Brand?

Are they Lip Glides (2 piece) or one piece like the green glides?
Are they Teflon? They say these are better - does anyone know by having used different types?

£35 is a ggod price.....but are they any good? - are they less effective if lower quality?

If there good I'll certainly get some :)

Hi Calmore,

Nylon will have a much higher co-efficent of friction than Teflon so it will probably make the wand harder to pull.
