I like my Sebo ET-1 and Miele 232, (wesselverk). My royal power tank's power nozzle is very good too, (I think it's made by Hayden). | ||

Im fond of
The Kenmore PN made by Haden and the ones made by WP Like Brian mentioned, but of corse Blue would be my favorit color then avacado ;).
I do like the Eureka VG2, and the Hoover Quadraflex with the wide headlight even though I know Hoover's first PN worked better with the steel brushroll. In blue too of corse. | ||

I like the Hayden used by Panasonic/Kenmore and the older Eurka Roto-mattics. I really dislike my PN on my Tri-Star MG1 by Electrolux. I like the old school one's better. | ||

I dunno about performance, since I - like Hans - am not a big fan of power nozzles. But I think this is the coolest-looking one I've ever seen.

I agree Charles, a beautiful sculptured thing and from the inside with the two swooping side ducts that join at the back, around the centered motor, very efficient.
I wish Lewyt had been able to continue development of their 1957 'Electronic' Big Wheel Motorized Beater Sweeper. The brushroll is driven entirely by gears pressed against the side wall - eliminates a belt and provides full width sweeping. The first version that came with Model 107 used a 120 VAC motor - a hose-length power cord ran up the outside of the wand, clamped to the hose - like the early Electrolux PNs - and plugged in just above the Big Wheel switch. Then unfortunately, they developed that flawed electric hose that tapped low voltage off the motor. Too bad, in hindsight they shoulda stuck with the tried and true and worked out the electric hose bugs. The 1958 Model 111 and 1960 121 used that doomed hose connection coupler design and the brushroll motor was low voltage that didn't have quite the same torque as 120 AC. This ad is for the Model 111.

My favourite power nozzle looks like it was inspired by the Lewyt: the Eureka Express nozzle with Vibra Groomer III....so elegant and simple in design.

The same clip-poster has a really neat Sanitaire commercial "Sweet Sixteen" vac with Express Power Nozzle - the light on this one is not burnt out!

That Lewyt PN is awesome! I've never seen one of them. In fact, I thought they were all just straight suction machines. | ||

My favorites are the Hayden PN that was used on Kenmore, and I have one on my Vita-Vac by Air Way. I also love the Hoover Quadraflex Powermatic | ||

I don't have any power-nozzle canisters, but I had an Electrolux Genesis(1994), which from my understanding uses the same power-nozzle as the canisters, but in upright from. I DID NOT like that thing at all. It cleaned so terribly, I can't believe they sell commercial versions of them. Great air-flow, but not a good carpet cleaner
So, in terms of uprights, I like Hoover Elite/Windtunnel brush rolls. They pick up pet hair and vibrate the carpet. Otherwise I like Vibra-Groomer IIs. | ||

my tristar cxl power nozzle is my favorite because of how quiet it is but the eureka vg3 beats the tristar pn any day because of how powerful it is. lux pns are good, my favorite one is the pn5 like my marquis but i prefer the ones with the light on them. | ||

With the exception of the one that came with my Filter Queen Majestic, all the power nozzles I have are Electrolux. The PN1 definitely wins the beauty award; it's a lovely piece of mid-century design but it lacks a bit in the performance department, even with a new brush roll.
My favorite of the lot is its successor, the PN2. It's compact and an excellent performer all around, plus I'm just a sucker for shiny, polished metal. | ||

Probably the best one that I’ve had is the rainbow
D4 Powerhead, it always picks up a huge amount of stuff out of a carpet although design wise I prefer the Electrolux Australia powerheads, That triangle shape and the headlight on the top is just so elegant plus and uses the same kind of motor as the somewhat Modern singer sewing machines which is pretty cool

Out of the ones I own:
My favorite would have to be my Hoover Powermatic Quadraflex nozzle. Love that steel brush roll and that the headlight stays on in bare floor mode. The Ryobi made dry pickup nozzle on my Kenmore Powerspray is cool too for its quirkiness. I think it uses the same brush roll as the Twin Fan upright. Not the most aggressive nozzle but with the airflow of that shop vac like suction unit it can really deep clean! | ||
