That power nozzle was a gift to me from another collector. It was an extra power nozzle of his that he did not have a matching suction unit to at the time. He saw my passion for Eureka canister vacuums and gifted it to me. I give it use here and there. It uses the VG1 brush roll that has very soft black colored bristles that do good not at the same performance level as the VGII.
Here is an updated photo of my Eureka canisters. Funny how quick times change but several of the vacuums in that Christmas collection photo from around 2 years ago, I no longer own. I do still own the burgundy Eureka power nozzle. |

From left:
Deep Wine Burgundy: Hoover PowerMax Supreme S3530 with Futura style power nozzle-- behind machine-- That power nozzle was original to that series PowerMax line!! gifted to a friend of mine as a house warming/ wedding gift. He had a bagless Dirt Devil compact upright like thing that performed like a kids toy prior!! Deep Wine Burgundy: Hoover PowerMax power nozzle for S3607 PowerMax Deluxe in front row-- still owned. I've converted the wire to a standard 2 prong instead of the T shaped 2 prong. It can run on any of my Hoover canisters including my Celebrity and Dimension 1000 units. Green: Hoover PowerMax power nozzle for PowerMax Supreme S3611. I have since then acquired the rest of the machine. This power nozzle was brand new out of the box at the time of the photo. It is now properly paired with it's excellent conditioned suction unit in the next photo. Green: Hoover Windtunnel S3630 canister-- still owned. Red: Kenmore Progressive canister- given to a house cleaning client of mine as the Eureka Express canister I gave her wasn't powerful enough for her home and the Anniversary Windtunnel canister we got brand new prior to the Express, the board died and warranty wasn't covered by warranty since it was bought brand new from eBay. ***Learned a lesson here!! Eureka Rotomatic power team 1784B with both Eureka power nozzles -- still owned. Westinghouse upright- red-- sold to a buddy of mine. Hoover Power Drive upright- green--- Gifted to John Long for his wonderful hospitality and great friendship over the years. Plus I was stunned to find out that despite how many Hoover objects he owns, he wasn't too familiar with this gem!! |

The Express power nozzle should be a VGIII that you have installed. The Express takes a different brush roll from that of the Rotomatic style. Yours should be two rows of bristle with subtle beater bars along the ridge in the brush roll just after where the brush strips insert.
Blue colored bristle brush roll below. The VGII is 1 single row of bristle strips on each side with another row of higher raised beater bars. White colored bristle brush roll below |

yes Rob, you are correct. They are both VG 3's. The express from the 8295 is quieter though, because the motor is fully enclosed. The grey oxygen one has and open frame motor design. |
