Sounds like this nozzle is not as good as those from companies such as Wessel Werk and Lindhaus, or is it just as good? Mike |

This is actually an excellent cleaning power nozzle!! It's not expensive.
Eureka came out with this style power nozzle in the late 80s. It's called the Express power nozzle because it was on their Express canister. Currently it is not available on any Eureka canister but it is available as the Beam RugMaster power nozzle. The power head is pleasant sounding, durably built and uses a VGIII brush roll. Don't be fooled by the stretch belt, the unit has a lot of torque, power and excellent deep cleaning ability. There is a non-headlight version available on many central vacs known as the Sweep and Groom. The Eureka version is much better than the Dust Care PB11. The Dust Care tried to copy the Eureka one. It's cheap and not very durable. They sound squeaky brand new the Dust Care ones. I've tried 2 brand new! The Wessel Werk EBK 360 is also an excellent power nozzle. It would be more durably built than the Express and have a longer life belt. It also has height adjustments and a shutoff protection system. If you want a good built power head that isn't too much money, then you get the Eureka Express. There are some that would say this would outclean a Lindhaus as it's more powerful. Lindhaus is better built though. If you have lots of money and have various style rugs, then get the EBK360. It will beat the Sebo ET-1. A cleaning competition between the Beam RugMaster head and Wessel Werk EBK360 would be neat! Both have great agitation. The Wessel Werk is a chevron roller though. |

Does anyone know if the eureka express in the first post has a pigtail cord? If so, I may get it if it's that good. As far as a cleaning competition, since I'm bringing all of my power nozzles to the convention, we can have the competition that you mention, should be interesting. Mike |

They do have a pig tail cord. I have one of these for my Beam Central Vacuum and my Aunt also has one for her Beam Central Vacuum as well. I will agree that these are really good powerheads, even tho they don't use a manual height adjustment. What I don't like about these is that the belts are a little more difficult to replace and the brushroll sometimes gets bent overtime that it would get noisier so I would have to take these brushrolls apart, bend, and reinstall them. Otherwise in my opinion, I think these are the best cheapest powerheads on the market.
I actually like the Dust Care powerheads, my Uncle has one for his Flo-Master Central Vacuum and I think it cleans very well. Yes it's defenitly cheap and the wheels do squeak when you use these but I like the fact that it uses a geared belt which I like better than the Eureka powerhead. Otherwise I still recommend these to anybody who is looking the best entry level powerhead on the market. |

The Express nozzle is a great power nozzle that cleans very well! My mom bought a new Eureka Express in 1986 and that machine got a lot of use. I was a toddler and my sister was born later that year, so you can imagine the mess it cleaned up during it service, and kept our floors and carpets very clean. My mom saved the vacuum after it was retired, and stored it in the attic. I dug it out and used the power nozzle with my VacuFlo system for a short time and it was great combination. It's not built as well as the Wessel-Werk nozzle but it's a good deep cleaner. It cleaned circle around my Lindhaus nozzle. If you have deep pile carpet or the newer plush style carpet you may want to opt for a nozzle that has a height adjustment because the Express nozzle may get stuck to that style carpeting. The Centec/Riccar/Simplicty nozzle also cleans very well too.
