Have seen these PNs, but have never used one. Have also heard several people here say they wernt that impressed with the Big Foot. What exactly are the pros and cons? Why not impressed?
They sure look impressive! What is the scoop on these?
Are they an Oreck product or no?
Thanks for any info!

I think it works great !!!

I have one on my patriot,I did install a new brush roll and it does a very good job at getting up all the stuff from my carpet. I don't see alot of difference in cleaning between my vibra groomer 3 or electrolux power nozzle 6.All my power nozzles have new brush rolls or brush strips.
I find the condition of the brush roll plays a significant role in the cleaning performance of power nozzle.

Built with good quality parts

This power nozzle is designed to last for many years,and is easy to work on.

I might be interested. How much? Belts and brush rolls are easy to get when needing replaced?

I'm not sure on parts have not looked for any. I would be happy with $20 each, and a little on top for shipping.

Hey Brian, when I acquired my Oreck XL1500 Celoc canister equipped with a matching reddish-orange big foot, the pivot was cracked. I work part-time for Oreck, and was suprised to see that I can still order parts for it. I will check the next time I go into work and see if belts/brushrolls are available also and let you know. I'm guessing the brushroll is probably a product of CWP, so it should be available.
