I use my Powerwand on residential carpets and really like it. I once thought too that it is worthless on CGD carpets because it spins much too fast and bounces.
So, I installed a simple router speed control box to the Powerwand up by the handle and can now slow the speed down and it works very well now CGD. I like that it also has the on/off switch up at the handle now so I don't have to use the foot switch.
Rick is right. Extraction first followed by encap/action works very well.
Just did our hall with it followed by the Orbot with encap cleaner. Looked like new carpet and it's 15 years old. Color went from drab brownish green to a bright olive color.
