Hole, slot or hybrid

44 and some months

Wow. I didn’t know kids were that old.

I will say I try to stay in kid mode on my days off. I want to have a dirtbike and street bike again. And I bought some new high dollar to me RC cars last Christmas. And I like playing paintball more than my own kids do. lol. Maybe because I can take my frustrations of them out on the field. Lol

At work or when training, I'm 65

On the weekends when I'm out in the wild places....I'm still 10

Groove, no groove. The groove causes the glide to grab the carpet. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a glide

The only time I've had my slot glide catch was on berber, so I swapped over to my hole glide and it was smooth sailing.

The groove is to prevent lines from the bridges and to create airflow at the end for better edge cleaning and reduce lockdown.

Many cleaners like the little bit of bite that the groove creates. Our grove is less grabby than others..

Try a glideless wand like a Prochem Ti or Quad sometimes, that tiny bit of grab is nothing...

My wand was cleaning great with the older style, had zero issues. Put the new glide on, felt harder to push than without a glide. Was told it would "break in" after 1-2 weeks...nope. Fortunately, was able to get the older style again. But, again...buying a glide should not come with a "little bit of bite", defeats the purpose of a glide completely.

The only time I notice that grab is on Berber or loop style carpets. Otherwise, it's great.

Sounds like most modern “improvements”

Everyone is different, some people prefer a little bit of bite or a lot of bite.

People with lots of wanding experience buy hole Glides if they want no bite, they don't buy the mini slots which you have there.

It's nice to have options but don't assume everyone is like you and their preferences.
