Is there a way to upgrade the steam wand?

I don't know sorry. We had to send ours back two days after we bought it. We loved it but the reviews about the pump going are one hundred percent true.

I suppose if you were mechanically inclined and had some time on your hands, it could be done. Say for instance, you really like the breville type steam wand. Order the part from breville, then take your delonghi apart and see how its attached. Then head down to your local hardware store and piece together a bunch of parts that would make it work. In the end, it'll look like a mythbusters experiment, but with enough determination I think it just might work. I mean, I'm not gonna try it, but go ahead!

No. What you see is what you get. I was a little concerned that the wand was underpowered after using it the first time but it actually does great. I recommend full power if you are steaming more than an ounce of milk. When using a thermapen (commercial quality thermometer) I dial down the power as I approach my target temp. Don't believe the haters.

No, the wand is not extendable but it can swivel 360 degrees and the nozzle where the steam comes out can pivot up and down.

I don't believe it is, the one from universal if bought online or at the studio comes with an interactive wand that can be used at the studio. it sells for just under 50.00.

Hi Brian,If you go to the chess king website you will be able to upgrade right there. I suggest you upgrade to Houdini 3 rather than 2 as it has much better features and strength.

Yes you can! I never regretted purchase of this steamer . The red button on the handle once you press it, it lets out steam.

If you contact these people, they will be able to connect you with the correct wand. They were very helpful for us:cleanfreaks@builtinvacuum.com or just call this number: 1-800-997-2278

I am sorry to say the steam wand is practically useless. In addition to being too short, it is completely stationary, and is too close to the machine. We don't even bother using it, honestly. Disappointing.

I'm not 100%, but I've got an old wand from an aftermarket/replacement Karcher that works with the new machine. I bought the replacement wand for a Mcculoch actually, but the Karcher fit that too. I think you will be fine, you could even take your wand into a Lowes/HomeDepot etc and see if it fits the floor model.

you can in fact upgrade, i only have had one issue so far, that is the HDMI connection to my TV. it has issues sending out the Audio from the PC. this started when i upgraded. the only workaround i have found is to put the PC to sleep while connected to the TV, then i wake it up and it works just fine. i don't mind doing this, but it does get annoying i must admit. that is the only issue i have had so far. love this machine!

Only if it is the Mac version. Be sure to check out which version. If I remember correctly you can buy the Mac version on Steam.

No, You will have to upgrade it. Most impressive machine I have owned. As fast as it is huge.

Hello Clarecrow, Either One Will Work. I Prefer The Recipe That Came With The Wands. Thank You!

It is my understanding that upgrades are only for previous versions. I am fairly sure you can get an answer about this from the Filemaker site.

you have to buy the additional hose as the machine hose with upholstery attachment will not work with the wand.so you have to purchase the wand and separate hose.

Yes, but, there is a "steam" button for extra or targeted steam. You can have the steam on, and them hold down the steam button for extra or targeted steam.

None seems to be available. I ended up throwing the entire unit away - waste of money.

No the wand isn't extendable. It does rotate but you will have to place it on a table close to your client for them to feel the steam.
