Buy the Wessel-Werks nozzle or take a look at the TOL Simplicity/Riccar power nozzle. I have the Lindhaus/Stealth power nozzle and while it's built very well, it's performance leaves a lot to be desired! If the brush roller had two rows of brushes it would probably clean much better but overall it's cleaning ability is disappointing. My Electrolux power nozzles with the new style brush roll will certainly out clean the Lindhaus. I had the Miele SEB-236 with my Miele Red Velvet (similar to the EBK360) and it could clean circles around the Lindhaus. The Simplicity nozzle looks fantastic with its three rows of brushes. I've not used one myself but I've heard they clean exceptionally well. I've been wanting to upgrade from the Lindhaus nozzle to the Wessel-Werks nozzle for a while but I just haven't gotten around to ordering one.

One for lindhaus
I did some independent testing of a few nozzles which included the lindhaus PB-14, Wessel werks EBK 340, Eureka Vibragroomer 3, Sebo ET-C and an Electrolux PN-6. They were all hooked to the same central vac the lindhaus and Wessel were the top performers, but the lindhaus did just slightly better. I love the height adjustment on the lindhaus if you have multiple carpet types it's pretty wonderful. I have also been told Lindhaus makes the best power nozzle for flat commercial style carpeting.

Thanks for the replies so far! Reading down the posts I was leaning towards the Wessel, but then got swayed to the Lindhaus again. So what is the deal with the 2 row Lindhaus brush? Is it only available on the pb12? Is it standard? | ||

Lindhaus For Sure If you're one for vacuum lines, the Lindhaus does a superb job fluffing up the nap. Plus it has a huge air channel, which allows you to take full advantage of the central vac's airflow. I'm not sure about the Wessel Werk, but the Lindhaus' wheels are rubber coated and smoothly transition from carpet to bare floors, and have a less of a chance of scuffing the floor. Added with the computer sensor and Italian quality, it's just overall a great powernozzle.
It was mentioned earlier that an Electrolux PN can outclean a Lindhaus. I disagree. I've used both an Omni-flow PN6 with the new Aerus chevron brushroll and a single-row Lindhaus on medium pile carpeting, and it's no contest. On an Electrolux Silverado, the Lindhaus is better. The airflow is excellent and really helps lift out the dirt. There's a reason why MD has selected the Stealth as the top-of-the-line kit. | ||

One last thought... Anyone know if the new Aerus nozzle is an improvement over previous versions? I caught a glimpse of it (in black ) and I still love the way they look.. I just don't know if there has been any brush roll improvements. I don't want to go that route and be disappointed. | ||

Scottyg I have one on my aerus guardian platinum. It's the same brush roll, it just sounds different. I find the old nozzle to sound better personally. The new one has this slight whine to it that I know several others have complained about. | ||

Thanks! I did hear it on a YouTube video - to me it sounds less like the previous Lux powerhead that I had years ago and actually more like the Miele 236. How do you think it does as far as grooming your carpet is concerned? | ||

Could of Been my video haha. It's way louder than my Miele 236. As far as grooming it's no different than any other lux nozzle, if you've never owned or used one they are pretty good at grooming all types of carpets. | ||

Cool.. Any idea of what year they changed the brush roll design? I had an Electrolux branded one for a central vacuum about 10 years ago. It did an ok job lifting the pile, but I actually think my Turbocat was more aggressive. | ||
