The tool's unique design uses a side-to-side sweeping motion instead of hunching over to push and pull a heavy commercial vacuum, which causes a lot of strain on the back.
Used with a straight wand rather than the traditional "S" or "J" wand system used with conventional tools.
These tools have been found to favor contract cleaners greatly for their ability to increase productivity and detail tight places.
The Sidewinder tool is one way to cover more surface area when cleaning open areas and narrow the other direction to make it possible to clean those tight spaces without having to pull out a hose and attachment and bend over with your traditional vacuum. This makes it possible to easily navigate around and under furniture.
The flexible neck permits the tool to flex 90° to the wand. This allows the tool to vacuum across the tool width, vacuum end on, or vacuum vertical surfaces with equal effectiveness.
