The PN5 refers to just the power nozzle. I assume you want to replace the whole vacuum? The PN5 power nozzle came with several models of Electrolux canister vacuums. | ||

PN5 was replaced by the PN6, PN7, etc. I believe that is the one with the removable cord, similar in concept to the much older power nozzles. I think the Perfect power nozzle is setup the same way. | ||

The perfect has the same style bottom plate as a PN 5, after the PN 6 they had a different style bottom. | ||

The PN-5 was the first of Electrolux's L-shaped power nozzles. The previous ones--PN-1, PN-2, PN-4 (why wasn't there a PN-3?)--were all symmetrical. Personally, I'm not a big fan of that little 'outrigger' on the right-hand side. I don't know if maybe it's because I'm left-handed, but I always seem to be getting that thing caught on chair legs and such. Of course, my latest acquisition is a Discovery upright that basically has a PN-5 for a foot, so go figure...

I'm pretty sure the PN 3 was for the heavy duty upright, that brush roll was very similar to a pn4 but just different enough, so my guess would be that was the unbranded PN 3 | ||

Good to know about the PN-3. I wondered why they didn't called the CB that used the pn4 a pn5 and the ones that used a pn5 a pn6 and so on, because they all had three wires. Guess we'll never know the thought process | ||

These shows the Perfect power nozzle with the later Epic style hood and the removable cord. And I grabbed a pic of a PN5, look close and you can see the cord is removable. | ||

Yes there was a three wire PN1, it was for commercial use and had a regular grounded cord on it that plugged into the wall.
And Yes there was a PN3, the same as a PN2 but had a third prong in the connector for the ground wire. Some of the PN2 just had two pins, some had two plus the plastic pin in the center. | ||
