I've recently been doing research on Sirena vacuum cleaners and noticed that some pictures show a Sirena canister with a powerhead modeled EBK 360 from Wessel Werk instead of the Sirena PN. This makes me wonder, can other PN's from Wessel Werk (including the compact HEB 160) and those from Lindhaus also get connected to a Sirena unit?

is fairly a universal thing with a few different types. Miele excluded. Any vac shop can retrofit a hose handle receptacle to accomadate both older, and newer style power nozzle connections. OK? |

The receptacle in the hose handle of the Sirena is very much like the E series Rainbow. The cord from the Wessel-Werks nozzle to the Sirena handle has the same odd plug as does an E series Rainbow, in order to fit the receptacle. It would be a difficult thing to do to make a 'universal' fit plug go far enough into the receptacle on the Sirena that it wouldn't fall out. I tried other power nozzles with my Sirena. Finally broke down and just bought the entire new Wessel-Werks nozzle directly from Sirena.

It's good to know that PN's for Sirena canisters are interchangable with those for the Rainbow models of the E series.
But do let me guess... The Wessel Werk PN's that come with Sirena canisters have the same connectors as the Sirena model, but the ones for central vacuum systems have other kinds of connectors that are either difficult or impossible to attach to an electric hose for a Sirena. Am I right? |

Yes, the male plug end of the cord from the power nozzle motor to the receptacle is unique to the Sirena and Rainbow E series machines. While it's possible to connect a 'universal fit' plug to the receptacle, it won't go in very far. I've tried using different nozzles, such as the Eureka power nozzle, with the Sirena, but the plug kept falling out of the receptacle which was aggravating.

Thank you, Dysonman1, for answering my question!
I think I know what to do if I do get a Sirena and the PN does break or malfunction. Instead of buying a new PN of another brand, I should register the Sirena PN online, contact the store where I would have bought the set and ask the shop owner for replacement or a repair service. If the canister set were ordered by phonecall, I could just call the company for the service. I don't live so far away from the Sirena headquarters. |
