After much anticipation my Wessel Werk powered brush arrived. I followed it's progress on the USPS website with it's tracking number and knew by lunch time it was on my front porch. From then on the clocks at work all seemed to turn backwards!

I got home and, oh my, the box on the porch looks awfully small. The seller didn't forget to include the wand did he? The box had no heft either. What the hay? I took the box inside and opened it up. When I saw it I could not believe at first it was a powered brush. It had to be air powered. Darn! It's toy like, tiny and seemingly weightless. Only the power cord exiting the rear of the head made me believe it really was a powered brush.

Naturally I took it apart and gave it a good scrub. Everything inside is about half size compared to a Kenmore Powermate or Hayden Superpack. Not poorly made, not at all, but it doesn't possess the sort of sturdy indestructibility of a Kenmore Powermate or it's Hayden sibling. Again, it has a toy like quality while the Kenmore/Hayden head feels and is a good deal more substantial.

To my relief a standard Kenmore wand fits the neck, but not the Wessel Werk power cord. Fortunately the cord from the head to the plug on the wand is attached to a little block that slides out of a holder cast into the cover of the brush (see photo). The wires simply slide into their terminals and are held by set screws. It will be no problem at all to replace it with a standard Kenmore/Hayden/Cen-tec/Nutone power cord. Plug that into the Kenmore wand and we'll give her a test drive.

Stay tuned kids.

I believe this power nozzle came with the Magic Blue canisters in the early 2000s, at least the ones that featured PNs. I also suspect the PN on the current small bagless Kenmore canister could be related.
