Help identifying my wand please

[Wheaties]

I have 2 of these wands. I believe they are the VT14. But what is the exact name/brand I need to have when looking for a teflon glide. We've had them for a long time. My father bought them when he owned the business and was alive. I cant find records that identify them for sure. I've used the spare teflon glides and now need to order more.

Any help identifying the wand and where I can get the appropriate glide would be appreciated.

Thank you
Jason

Thanks guys. Couple questions and not trying to be rude. So what is the difference between the greenglide($208) and the glide on the Wanders website for $125? Seems like a big difference in price.

Also, I see people using sealant around the edges of glides. We never have and haven't really noticed any air leaks. Is it just a precaution?

One thing you’ll come to realize as you hang out here more is that carpet cleaners are some of the weirdest people on the planet.

Right. I'm not trying to be cheap about it. But $70 seems like a big difference.

Wander glides are made in China of inferior ptfe.
Poor fit and 1/3 the life span.

My Glides, other then a few odd balls with no lips on them. Do not need glue/ silicone.

Joe's crappy loose fitting glides certainly do

Makes sense.

Just keep in mind that you heard that from the dude who sells Greenglides. On the bulletin board that he owns.

The difference is $83

Sorry I couldn't help myself.

Even so. We have always used greenglides in the past and never had to use any adhesive to seal them in place.

Please order one from Joe.

If someone had time on their hands and needed some entertainment, that would be a fun thing to do.

The fact that Bristor is a bona fide lunatic should be enough to steer anyone away from buying anything from him. Saw him running his mouth to some guy about “cutting him off 10 years ago”. What kind of dumbass cuts off a paying customer you simply mail stuff to? After watching his behavior online for a while, I decided to look elsewhere when I was wanting to order a few things.

Did you see the video where he cut off the entire continent of Australia? It was great.

No, I try to avoid paying attention to any of his dumbassery on social media. On occasion he slips under the radar though. In all seriousness, I’m amazed his business has lasted this long. Must be the steady churn of new cleaners that keeps him going.
