I got a new toy today, of course since it's Oreck Shaylee lays claim to it. This is one powerful little sucker. I've never actually seen the power nozzle for one of these before.
Did the Kenmore version of this have a power nozzle?

That's neat, I like the color. I didn't know there was a powerteam version or an Oreck version. And no the Kenmore didn't have a power nozzle that I know of.

I love this thing, yes it's a bit loud but does a great job. It's not seen much use at all. I've seen this model canister before but never with the power nozzle. I cleaned house for a lady when I was a kid and she had one with the outlet for the pn I searched the whole house looking for a power nozzle. I finally asked where it was and she said it was optional and she didn't want it because she bought an Orexk upright to go with it for her 4,000 Sq Victorian with all wood floors.
I serviced the power nozzle and it's dated 1996. That's about what I figured |

I would think the bag would fill VERY quickly on these "hip" vacuums when used with a powernozzle! |

I agree that they probably weren't envisioned to use a power nozzle when they were introduced. However, if the spinning brush can sweep pet hair from a rug, it would make the cleaner a lot more useful. I remember wishing the 3hp Eureka Might Mite from the 80s, which had a lot of suction, had a power nozzle. It had standard paper bags of that era, lost airflow rapidly and significantly, so the turbine brush Eureka sold to use with it didn't do too much within minutes, which is the typical downfall of turbo nozzles. So, I don't expect that little machine in Phil's OP to be an awesome deep cleaner, but the power nozzle probably helps quite a bit in a lot of circumstances. I'd love to see that someday!
