Is there a disadvantage to not having a wand?

A wand is used to measure Alpha radiation, which has low energy and can be stopped by a piece of paper. I am more concerned with High Energy Gamma particles.

I don't think so. Each end of the wand is fixed in moulded plastic coupler to attach to the handle on one end and the nozzle at the other end and is not designed to take apart from the couplers. I personally like the length as it keeps me further away from the chemicals spraying out.

I think so. If you go for a Hitachi Wand, it'll set you back like $75. My wife really likes this one. It plugs in so it never needs batteries, and it's higher settings still get to 'past the point you need'. We've been very pleased with ours.

It's a little difficult moving around due to the wand not having total rotation mobility. I would suggest not purchasing this item if you have shoulder problems.

I was able to use my curling wand with no problem, although I am not sure of the tempurature that it goes up to cause it only has an on and off switch. I have shoulder length hair, but I had only brought mine to use with the intention of adding lenght to braid my hair. I am mixed but I have rather thin hair so it gives me a little thickness without being too much or not enough. It is not just one track it is at least nine or more I believe and the thickness is even from the weft to the ends of the hair...hope this helps!

If you forget to turn the self-propel handle switch off when you are just pushing it around and using the hand wand it will startle you when it activates sometimes. I've had this happen a few times when I was standing there with the weight of my hand on the handle and the wand in the other and it jumped forward spinning on the hard tile floor. Having the deactivation switch is great so the self-propel mode isn't making the vacuum drive over your foot and act all crazy when you are hand vacuuming with the wand and the attachments.

Yes however, you have to be delicate and I wouldn't recommend allowing the wand to actually touch the clothes (silk and other delicates)

The wand is not detachable. The handle is a very durable plastic...feels nice. I don't know how long it will last. I liked this product so much I ordered more for gifts.

Yes it does. The wands are very agressive and the closer you get the better it cleans.They tend to wear out because of this. They can be repaired if you can get them apart.

No, and I'm not so sure that's a great idea. First, the hose without the wand and tip just shoots out much lower pressure water. The tips are what causes the water to accelerate to speeds where it can cut through stuff. Second, you may create a nasty mess if the blockage doesn't clear and the pipe backs up into the sink.

the wand is a standard about 3 ft long, as for not bending that is up to you, have now idea how tall you are, and you should not be using any power washer on the ground as it cause damage to the surface and kick back and hurt the user.

I'd say less than 2 lbs. I'm 72 and haven't had any problem with the wand, although dragging the hose is no fun.

I agree with William Miller. You can only attach the wands to the unit itself. The brushes I keep in a bucket for occasional use.

No this is more for clamping on hard surfaces. You would want the wand if you want to take videos of yourself. I like to take videos of what I see.

Probably. But I had to buy connectors. They weren't expensive though and the wand is excellent.

I thought it could but found out it cannot without reconfiguring one of the wands. I assume this can be done but didn't research it as I just replaced the existing one with this one as it's longer.
