Jeezo, not even I am that rough with floor heads. Im surprised his Electrolux power nozzle works the way he chucks both of them around.
The new PN does look like a good PN head though I'd be concerned about the height adjustment on a carpet that thin. You can clearly see that after a while the PN has so much suction from the vac that it is impossible to move along the floor without it jutting along. I have to say in defence of SEBO's ET-1, the lack of screws to undo to gain access to the brush roll is an aspect I've come to love about the ET-1 in general. I can't abide access screws and what not to get a brush roll out to clean! If the orange inserts covering the fin style grills on either side of the Electrolux PN were to be removed, there's every possibility that the PN head wouldn't suck down so much. | ||

what use is a functioning power head when after 4 years the vacuum's sumo board and or hose switches, or control boards fry? Just speaking from experience. | ||

Well such is the beauty of a canister vac. You either get it replaced or replace everything else around whatever works. That is at least one good boon of having a canister vac, whether it uses a PN or not. | ||

Sebo, it costs more to repair than to replace, and even Miele stopped providing power ports for later adding a power nozzle on lower end models. | ||

It depends on the manufacturer. Most SEBO machines can be repaired by the owner or at least parts can be downloaded and SEBO will show the owner what to do.
At least you have the option for PN with Miele. Miele don't generally add any sockets on their UK models. Not sure for the rest of Europe though. | ||

Now it's quickly tested. Pleasant surprise: Light to handle, not overly noisy and seems to groom the carpet very well. | ||

I did mine because the H2O Vac was a water filtration vacuum sold through an infomercial here in the states, it seemed like it was designed OK and wasn't extraordinarily cheap in build quality so I purchased it planning to use it with a turbine head. Needless to say, it did not power the turbine head well enough for my home full of wall-to-wall carpeting so after having it for a few months I decided to see if I could make it useable for my carpeting!
I did not have connectors at the hose ends that were as nice as yours, that would've been a nice addition though. | ||

Yes I am from the Vaasa. Vaasa is located at the west side of the Finland near the sea. Very interesting what you just told me. My history knowledge isn't the best possible. | ||

Inform yourself
Dont believe everything you read,
When the Americans moved in and from 1961 to 1992, it became a factory for trident missiles as well as US Polaris and Poseidon nuclear submarines. In the 1980s documents were found in bags dumped by the Naval base and discovered in the west bay of the town. So much for classified info; it was discovered by a local lady who was taking a little boy for a walk. The documents revealed pretty much the same kind of story like the film of Erin Brockovich. Made the local paper but was quickly suppressed by the Naval base... There was also the death of a boy in the 1970s linked from swimming in local waters adjacent from the Holy Loch and who developed a leukemia related cancer. | ||
