If the powernozzle sounds like this, then there's nothing wrong with it. If it sounds louder or noisier, then it would need to get serviced.
You don't have to buy a new hose, you can have parts replaced on the handle and you would save yourself a ton. Tom (dysonman1) could get you parts for a better deal. |

I don't think Tacony ever made a wooden brushroll for these type of powernozzles. Besides I don't think it would make a difference on either sound or performance. I've used both the Simplicity Entry (With a wooden brushroll) and the Classic (With a metal brushroll) before and they all sound and perform about the same to me.
Nah, I've repaired these vacuums before and you can get separate parts for the hose. The picture form www.partswarehouse.com... shows what comes apart and what can be replaced.

Great, good to know with the handle. Just have trouble getting it apart especially the round cap cover at the hose that hold it all together. |

Mike - Back when Tacony started using this powerhead, starting with the Simplicity S24 & Riccar 1500P, this powerhead did have a wood brushroll with plastic endcaps. However, the problem with that brushroll is that, even when cared for, the plastic endcaps would warp & melt, & destroy the base along with it. Also, the plastic piece on the brushroll that the v belt went around to turn the brushroll would start to separate & would cause damage to the v belt itself too. And as for it being less noisy? No, actually about the same. I have a Riccar Pizzazz that came with both the small & full size powerheads that originally had a wood brushroll & the whole thing had to be rebuilt. I think you would be best off sticking with your metal brushroll & living with the noise the way it is, it's just the way these powerheads sound, same as Aerus Electrolux powerheads sound a certain way.
