"With unit fully extended could not get it off the ground would work with two people. So returned it for the 18 ft one. Would have been to hard to handle under pressure. Northern took back the wand no Questions asked! Salem Va store"

Good but Heavy,
October 22, 2009
By DavidOlds442
from NJ
|
"This is a very good wand but it gets heavy after using it at full or close to full extension. It also has a lot of whip to it, so be very careful near power lines. After it gets wet you will need a couple of rags to unlock the section collars. They get tight just from use."

Great time saver,

By Eddie346

"This wand provides a long reach to get to those high spots without the use of a ladder. At greater lengths it gets more difficult to handle, but that's expected. It is a lot safer than using a ladder. Durable construction."

Lets you stay on the ground,
October 19, 2009
By Homeowner351
from MA
|
"I agree with the other reviewers, if you extend all sections to the fullest length, it can be difficult to control. If you back off the top extensions a bit, it works fine. It is better to get the longest wand, as it will be more stable for any of your lower height requirements.
This product saves allot of time for washing the side of my house. It is safer and easier using it from the ground instead of using a hand wand and moving the ladder every few minutes. It does get a bit heavy after an hour or so of continuous use, but the time you save is well worth it.
Fittings are high quality and the product functions well. Would definitely buy again."

Telescoping Washer Wand,
October 19, 2009
By TiminLa
from Louisiana
|
"Works well. Telescopic twist locking points are nice. Gets heavy with long use, I recommend the support belt for extended use. At full extension, it is hard to manage. Easier to use if you pull the trigger before you try to lift into position.. avoid the "kick"."

A Wet Noodle,
July 29, 2009
By JayNJ
|
"I’m surprised this item scored so well in the reviews. I bought it mainly to clean the third story siding on my home. With all three sections fully extended, this thing has the rigidity of a wet noodle. The aluminum third section is just too flimsy to give you any accuracy. I highly recommend the support belt, but don’t assume it’ll spare your arms and back from a major workout. I’m 50 and go to the gym on a regular basis, but three days after using the wand, I’m still feeling the burn – it’s certainly a younger man’s toy.
Another issue is that the wand needs more of an angled connection tube at the top. Look at the photo – what’s that – a 10 degree bend at best? The wand is designed to basically squirt straight. It just doesn’t work well when you’re up three stories trying to clean a vertical surface. When fully extended, the wand needs to be close to vertical while in operation. Trying to angle it any more than 10~15 degrees at full length just doesn't work. The length is too great, and the wand is too heavy to hold up for any length of time.
In closing, the unit is adequate with the first two sections extended. If you’re looking to avoid ladder time thinking this wand will effectively clean at the 24 foot level, you’re mistaken."

reaching new hights,
July 21, 2009
By browncow113
from Boise Id
|
"I have been cleaning windows and pressure washing for years now. This is a product I wish I had found a long time ago. It is a little tuff to get used to but after a few minute its just like washing something in front of you. I do highly recommend the belt that you can get for this product to help when using for long periods of time. If you have any over head pressure washing to do this is the only way to go."

"Easy to store and easy to use. Beats climbing a 24 foot ladder to power wash my home. I can now walk around the house washing it without worrying about falling off a ladder and it sure saves time."
