One commenter said that the handheld wand is place about 6 feet up and that his 5'3" wife couldn't reach it. Darn. Any comments regarding this?

The handle on mine is probably over 6', but really? That would make her arms 9" long? If that's a concern, have your wife stand and extend her arms and measure. Allow a bit to lift the unit off the holder. You can probably pop it out by pushing on the hose?

I'm guessing your shower supply pipe must be a little higher than most. I installed two of these and the main shower head and the wand are 74 inches from the bottom of the tub. It works fine for my wife who is 5'6." It is a great shower head so I'd still consider it, even if you need to add a bath-friendly stem of some kind.

It must be more than 6 feet. I have short arms and I can reach 16" above my head. You might look for a separate holder to mount to your shower wall to hold the wand.

I'm 5'5" and I have to reach on my tippy toes. I would imagine that if an individual was shorter than me then they will have issues. Of course you can resolve this as long as you have some sort of step stool that is bath friendly. It's still a great investment.

OOPS: When I actually took it out of the package, I discovered that it could not be shortened, only lengthened. I am 5'4" and the pole top "as is" comes to under my arm pit. That is OK for me, but I assume that for someone 5', it would come to about the top of that person's shoulder. OLD INCORRECT ANSWER: I just purchased my second stick. The first one I gave to a relative. This one has an adjustable section. I actually haven't used it yet (I bought it for emergencies) but I was pleased to see the adjustability.

The cane was actually too long for my husband. He is only five foot six inches tall. He actually had to cut off some of the cane to be able to use it.

While I am not at the location of the steam mop now, I use the mop very often. The handle does adjust. I would say it adjusts aprox. 24". I am 6'2" and spouse 5'4" and handle adjusts just fine for both of us.

It was not that short. I am 5"3" and my husband is 5'7". And he had no problem using it. I was great to use. I am glad that my husband bought it.

The wand is a good 14 inches in total. The heating part is a little over 7 inches. :)

It has been fine for me. I'm 5'10". I haven't had any issues. My wife is 5'6" and she doesn't have any issues either. She uses it more than I do. When I do use it I have no troubles.

It will not reach that far. Recommend you go to www.ultimatewasher.com, they sell Telescoping Wands, from 12' on up. Not cheap but sure beats climbing a ladder. I bought the 12' and worked well with the AR Blue Clean.

I'm 5'5" and my husband is 6'2". The handle works well for both of us. The angle doesn't seem to matter. It's a good design.

Depends on how tall the side of the tub is too. My mother-in-law is only 5' so plenty tall for her. She has an old fashioned short sided tub. Not having it right in front of me I believe the tall part of the grip is around 18" tall, so add that to the height of the tub. Unless he is extremely handicapped I don't think it would cause him problems, might have to bend over a little.

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.

Naturally that depends on how high your existing shower head is but I can reach mine and I am 5' tall. Usually I grasp it close to the hose end of the handle. Works for me. Love it. We just ordered more filters. Good product.

I had the same problem until my husband attached the wand unit for me. I was being too gentle and it wasn't making a good connection. He used more force and it began working much better. I do not have this vacumn anymore, however, because of other design flaws it has.

Very well - I love the broom it's just too dang short for me! I wish it could telescope or had about 8" more on the broom (not necessarily on the dustpan).

No. The unit comes with two extension wands. When attached, the length is approximately 3 feet. I am 5' 10" and I can clean my 8 ft. ceiling with no problem.

Don't know the exact length- haven't measured- but I'm 5'1 and I consider the broom's length to be standard. I think it comes to my shoulder. I have a shorter broom for my 3 year old to play with and there's a big difference between the two brooms.

My ceiling is not very high too, and my husband is 5'3" high and he do not touch it. Emilie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U931PtC1YNA
