Zipper VS zipper SS

[Nate The Great]

Brycey Boy, are you a pre-vac and clean type, a crb and clean, or a straight clean type of cleaner? I ask because the Zipper SS is more maintenance over the regular.. Hair gets wrapped around the spinners and if not taken care of can mess up the bearing.. I do reach for the 15" SS on commercial jobs over my 13" Zipper.. The 2" plays a big part.. Even if it's not heavily soiled, 15" makes quicker work of it.. As for residential, you could use it but it's more for commercial..

You can use anything anywhere, but is it the right tool for the task is more the question.....? It's doable and I've done it, but prefer the 360i/xl or crb and wand for residential.. It's a different movement and you'll learn to go into a room and clean the entry first, before sectioning off or squaring the room off..

Hope that helps!

I'm a prevac, crb (or 175/fiber pad for commercial), and then clean type of cleaner.

I only focused on being able to knock out commercial more quickly and with better results. The possible use of a Zipper on empty residential was an afterthought, not important. Does the Zipper SS really make a big difference in results when cleaning trashed greasy restaurant carpet?
