- Why is the Rotovac better than a wand?
- The manual scrub wand is a good cleaning tool for cleaning lightly soiled carpet. When
cleaning more heavily soiled carpet, the wand becomes a "beast of burden." Cleaning
results depend upon the strength, stamina, and technique of the person working the wand.
Cleaning heavily soiled carpets with a scrub wand is "hard labor." The repetitive
motion of scrubbing back and forth is extremely strenuous and fatiguing.
First and foremost the Rotovac is an electric power tool. Comparing the Rotovac to a
wand is like comparing a skill saw to a hand saw. We have converted a back and forth
manual task to a much easier and more efficient rotary mechanized operation.
The Rotovac makes more cleaning passes per minute than is possible with a manual
scrub wand. In addition, the cleaning passes are from all directions rather than
just back and forth. This is what produces better cleaning results with far less operator
fatigue.
The counter-rotating cleaning heads of the Rotovac allow it to glide back and forth
over the carpet with an easy one-handed operation, very similar to using an upright
vacuum cleaner.

-
Why is the Rotovac easier to use than a wand?
- The Rotovac is much easier to use than a manual wand. When cleaning with a
wand your cleaning results depend on how much elbow grease you're willing or able
to put into it. Hunched over while scrubbing back and forth with a wand is
definitely hard labor and can lead to extreme fatigue and/or physical
ailments. The Rotovac allows the operator to stand in an upright position and guide
the power tool up and back in an easy one handed motion, very similar to running an
upright vacuum cleaner. To see the Rotovac in operation click here.
