Q: Looking for wand to clean our bi-level home siding, tallest wall 24 ft. My washer is a cheap Ram Power 208cc gas. It claims to have 2200 PSI with 2.5 gal/min. Any info would be helpful.
by Randy Laper from Wisconsin on July 01, 2016
A: These telescoping wands are very difficult to handle and I usually only recommend them to professionals. I usually instead suggest a extension lance. We do offer extension lances that come in 12-84 inches. They will quick connect where the colored spray tip goes now and you will put the colored spray tip on the other end of extension lance. I have included a link to the options for you. Let me know if you have any other questions on them. Extension Lanceby Brian, Product Expert
Q: Mike, I'm having difficulty making a choice between the 24' MTM Hydro Professional and the General Purpose Giraffe Professional.
Question: what are you getting for the extra $20 with the Giraffe, and, are their any design advantages that would suggest I go with the MTM Hydro?
by Peter from Virginia on May 14, 2015
A: The Giraffe will allow you to spray at different levels 6,12,18 or 24'. It's also heavier duty pole. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: Can this telescoping wand be used with the Simpson Megashot 3100 PSI gas pressure washer?
by Sharon from New Jersey on June 06, 2014
A: The Simpson Megashot has M22 connectors, and the Giraffe has 3/8" threaded connectors so you would need an Adaptor to connect them- either to convert M22 to 3/8, or 3/8 to M22- or convert them both to quick connect. If you're only going to use the 24' telescoping wand occasionally, the Fiberglass Prosumer Telescoping Wand comes with the adaptors. by Brian, Product Expert

 Made for the Pros. When you won’t compromise quality and durability, this is the telescoping wand for you.
This has everything you could ever need: adjustable height, ability to apply detergents, and lightweight enough to use all day without the ‘bend’ that the fiberglass wands make you play with.

 Most Helpful Positive ReviewTwo Story Sprayer
I was able to extend to 20- 24 ft. The pressure from the spray was too much for me to hold the spray gun. I need a strap at the half way point in order for me to balance the spray gun.
The product is excellent.
Pros: Exceeded Expectations Cons: Heavy Ruperto Recommends This General Pump Product Product Expert Ruperto, This is the longest, heaviest telescoping wand we sell, meant to meet the needs of professionals with sturdy backs and a good amount of upper body strength.
The good news is that it works at any length from 6' 8" to the maximum, making it one of the most versatile as well. moreWas this review helpful? 20 |

Most Helpful Critical Review  Okay Product
Bought this to reach up high, very heavy, hard to use, flexes easily when fully extended with little control.
The inside of the pole has white sleeves to hold to extension part and they became unglued.
Pros: Easy To Store Cons: Heavy, Difficult To Use, Expensive, Low Quality Product Expert Daniel, The Owner's Manual PDF we have online does instruct users that "Caution must be used when the wand is extended as the reaction force of the nozzle spraying will cause the wand to flex." along with the safety issues that flexing could cause.
Another part of the Manual says "Do not extend or retract your Giraffe HD extension wand while spraying or while under pressure. Stop the equipment and relieve any pressure before making adjustments to the extension wand or changing nozzles."
If you've been doing this, then the sleeves may be covered under General Pump's 30 day Factory Warranty, which expires on 3/21/17. Please give the folks at General Pump a call before then at (888) 474-5487. If they ask for a copy of your invoice, just click on the My Account link at the upper right corner of our website and follow the prompts to print one out.
We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience. moreWas this review helpful? 00 |

Best Telescoping Wand Ever Used
Purchased this as an older fiberglass model was on its last leg.
This wand is very easy to use and manipulate, east to move around windows and edges even at full length. I do a lot of high reach work. Night and day improvement over my previous older equipment.
Only flaw was the most distal tube fitting lock was loose/detached on arrival and had to be lined up and glued back. 2 minutes work and all was well, but I think this should have been caught at production.
Pros: Easy To Use, I'd Buy It Again, Exceeded Expectations, Features Cons: next to nothing Charles Recommends This General Pump Product Product Expert Charles, We have sent your comments to the folks at General Pump- thank you for letting us know! moreWas this review helpful? 00 |

Great Idea I Thought
This product would work well in the hands of a 300 lb. linebacker but not in my 170 lb. frame. Tried the product three times to give it a chance but found it exhausting and hard on the shoulders. Trigger valve failed on try 2 and wouldn't shut off. Save your money!
Cons: Difficult To Use, Unreliable, Durability Product Expert Dan, I'm sorry you had problems with this telescoping wand. Please give the folks at General Pump a call at (888) 474-5487 about the trigger issue- they will be able to help you resolve it or send you parts.
This is the longest, heaviest telescoping wand we sell- it does take a strong back and serious upper-body strength. It's intended to stand up to the rigors of commercial use. You may want to try using it at less than the full extension so you don't have to fight it as much.
For lighter weight, easier to manage Telescoping Wands look for models that don't have "Professional" in the title. Was this review helpful? 00 |

Quality Product But You'd Better Be In Shape
Professional well defines The Giraffe. Solid build with quality parts. Everything worked as described. Locking tabs worked well.
The weight fully extended was however tough. I'm 61, but in good shape. Getting the Wand up to vertical was no problem. But, if you move from vertical to any degree of horizontal, you better be an Olympian. The water weight was tough to lift and hold.
Thank goodness I only had a few eaves to clean. This unit worked very well cleaning my brick chimney. I was incorporating a 3100 psi pressure washer. The belt was easy for me to set up but it will only help support the unit's weight from vertical to maybe 15 degrees to the horizontal. Beyond that it's pure muscle power on your part.

Awesome But Heavy
The quality is amazing and it did a great job but man it's way too heavy. I was able to prop it against my gutter to wash my 2nd floor of my house so I got the job done but was blown away by its weight.
I used the harness but it don't seem to help. I'm 6'5" 350lbs so not a tiny man by any means. I'd still say a great product but wish I'd have ordered the fiberglass one. Great co and very fast shipping.
Scott's Experience With Power Equipment Direct "Great product but wouldn't recommend to a friend due to weight. Not the co's vault." moreWas this review helpful? 60 |

Great Unit
I purchased this to wash my 2 story colonial. The unit worked great not much whip (exception when fully extended). The belt is a must, although the clasps allowed the straps to slip, quick fix was to adjust them to where I wanted and then tie a knot in the strap.
I used a turbo tip with my Honda 2300psi washer and the unit cleaned everywhere. When the unit was fully extended it became a bit hard to control but manageable. I do have a new respect for knights and how they had to control the jousting spear. I purchased this to wash my 2 story colonial. The unit worked great not much whip (exception when fully extended).

Good Product
It's heavier than my fiberglass pole, but I was able to put an extension on the end of it with out it whipping around.
