For a short while Kenmore had a small black bagless canister with a small power nozzle. It seems to have been replaced with a red model with a slightly different power nozzle and more usual attachments. Any idea who makes these power heads?

The link below is a video produced by Panasonic describing the power nozzle. It's really neat!! First the video discusses the Panasonic bagged suction unit body then it discusses the power nozzle. The power nozzle is partnered on a few Panasonic machines and also the Kenmore in your link!

I think that's a very innovative tool for bare floor cleaning, but I would never use the same attachment on carpeting. Bare floors get covered in all kinds of wet dirt (food and drinks on kitchen floors, shampoo on bathroom floors) that eventually dries. And unless properly rinsed, there is always a residue of soap or cleanser on bare floors. And some wood floors have a residue from waxing or other cleaning fluids. Any spinning brush from a power nozzle that touches these surfaces is going to accumulate dirt and soapy or waxy residue. I would not want that transferred to my carpets, especially delicate Oriental rugs.
In my opinion the bristles from a bare floor tool should never be used to brush a rug or carpet. Unless you can easily change out the brush roll between tasks, like the new Shark Stick Vac offers. |
