The Sweep-n-Groom nozzle is an excellent nozzle. It uses Eureka's VGIII brush roll with brush stiffeners. It therefore does a very good job of agitating dirt and debris loose from the carpet, while sweeping it up too. The one problem you might run into is with wand compatibility. The lock buttons for Tristar and Eureka nozzles are in two different spots. However, there is a universal wand that I have that has the lock button holes in two different locations. You can still use it to attach to the new nozzle and then use the Tristar wand on top to attach to the hose. You might also just try replacing the motor in your Tristar nozzle, if that's where the problem lies. This should be the motor for it, unless it has the newer geared belt. In that case, you can still use this motor. You'll just need a new brush roll that uses the flat belt.

yes i would say go with a eureka nozzle that is all I ever use on my CXL because it seems to make better contact to the carpet plus the one I use has a headlight | ||

Go with the Sweep n Groom....
The Eureka vibragroomer III is in my opinion one of the best powerheads EVER made. Belts are inexpensive, around $5 for 2. Plus, you will also have the ability to shut off the brushroll & clean bare floors.
Another alternative is to go with one of the Eureka knock-offs-the "Dust Care PB11". Just enter that into Google, and there are MANY retailers online that sell it. It's even better than the Eureka, as it has a geared belt, & still uses the Vibragroomer III. Rob Oh, and BTW, there is a metal adapter available to convert the wands to work with any powernozzle. It's what was used on the Eureka Rotomatic design that had the Compact label on them before Tri-Star started making their own. Just stick it into the neck of the new nozzle, put your wands on & presto- ready to go! | ||

My vote is for the Eureka Express style nozzle like everyone else. I have one from the Express canister my mom purchased in the mid 80's and I now use the PN with my central vac. I love Electrolux tanks but this power nozzle cleans circles around the Lux PN. This nozzle will just about pull itself right across the carpet and you can really see and feel it beating the carpet. After 20+ years on the market, there are few power nozzles that I can think of that can match its cleaning ability or its reasonable price.

Mike, sorry it took so long.....
But I have sent you an email reply with all the information you will need. In the meantime, here is a link to the Allegro Central Vacuums website, with the Dust Care PB11, as well as the Wessell Werk EBK340 with standard neck & pigtail cord, which is also a very good option. The website is www.allegrovacuums.com..., & they are based in Oakville, Ontario, CANADA.
Hope this helps, Rob CLICK HERE TO GO TO Kirbylux77's LINK | ||
