My new RotoVac doesn't extract as well as my wand.
Am I doing something wrong?

You are missing the RotoLip glides for it as a start I bet.

Hey, could you fill us in a little? 

 

Is it adjusted so the heads don’t stop immediately when turned off but don’t run on?

 

When it is off trigger the wand for a moment, lift the heads up, is the spray pattern good or is one or more jets plugged?

 

What psi are you running?

 

If these don’t work contact RotoVac, maybe they can help.

 

Let us know

The lack of "AIR-FLOW/CFM" may be your major problem.

Ed is correct. It may be an AIR FLOW/CFM problem. Adding either his Recoil or my glides for it may help you resolve this.

But now you have to contend with the cord.  I wonder if RotoVac could make a cordless model?

Yeah, but you get really dizzy running around in the little circles.
