Hello Gents,
I made this wand to be a value priced item, some day I'll make a titanium version and might even make a few tweaks, but I got my money where my mouth is, if you don't think it's an excellent tool and one of the best buys in your career I will buy it back no questions asked.

I put every bell and whistle known on this wand, the valve is a pleasure to use, the solution line is teflon and stainless wrapped in urethane jacket, the jets are high flow and come with checkvalves and extenders to place the jet 1" from the carpet.
This allows for almost no heat loss and low humidity in the air, and they will not streak because of the angle I place the jet manifold at, which also allows for cleaning at a high pressure than normal which adds agitation and speeds rinsing.
Don't forget the rubber coated forward handle, valve trigger, and double thick rubber shrink wrap on the valve tube, it's not vinyl that slips when hot. Add to that an additional trip to the metal polisher for a finish that looks sharp and physically stay clean longer.

I can be so confident because the only wand that even comes close is the Titanium, and you would have to add $300 in upgrades to compare.

Ditto, I am having a bit of a purge on wands at the moment and I am really glad that I chose the Greenhorn to be one of them.

Hi, I am from Canada. The more you use these wands, the more you will love them. We had two titanium wands, but now they just collect dust. The Greenhorn produces amazing dry times and is not that much heavier. We later ordered a kit from Greenie to trick out the titanium, and it is closer in performance, but still not the same.

It seems many of you use a 12" for residential, is that for maneuverability or to keep the air flow concentrated? I have only used 14" up to now, but I am wondering about trying a 12" for even faster dry times. I would appreciate any input from those who have used both sizes. (Any wand not just the greenhorn.)

If Steve is not bringing his down to the CCDO would some body else bring one so we can give it a run.

Greenie you may get more business yet ;)

used my 14 inch greenhorn today today with amazing results. the drying time is amazing and the speed it cleans with is just beyond campare. Throughly enjoyed using it today altho it is a fraction heavier than my old westpac

Every so often someone ask me about the weight, it jsut so happens the 14" WestPak and the Greehorn both weigh in at 10.35 lbs isn't that about 1 stone?

Its a good few pounds under a stone Jeff - 3.65 lbs under actually, which is a fair amount.
