Whatever works...
I have a Kirby G5 that now has parts from/for a G3, G4, Ultimate G and Sentria. I don't know that it works any better than a fully stock G5--and certainly no better than my Gsix. I just went with the least expensive compatible parts I could find.
Even though my Electrolux Diamond Jubilee came with a PN-5 in excellent condiiton, I use it with a PN-4A, which I recently restored with a slightly custom paint job. I just prefer the more compact shape of the earlier Electrolux power nozzles to the later L-shaped ones. Repainting the PN-4A was a bit of an aberration for me in that I largely emphasize function over form. | ||

What really constitutes a 'frankenvac'?
Now that I think of it, when I first got my Electrolux Discovery Plus, I filled up the onboard tool holders with wands and a crevice tool from an old wet/dry shop vac I never use. The wands are essentially identical to those that I recently got in a tool kit for my Genesis LXe. I also added a generic combo dusting brush/upholstery tool, based on the venerable Electrolux design but also somewhat different, to the mix and later replaced the shop vac's crevice tool with a more correct five-inch version that bears the Swedish Electrolux logo, but I'm not so sure any of that makes the machine itself a 'frankenvac' any more than the fact that the crevice tool and one segment of the cord for the power nozzle for my Filter Queen Majestic are brown instead of black.
Now that I've written all that, I have to stop and wonder why I've never even considered using a tool from one of my Kirbys with an Electrolux or vice versa. | ||
