Or, you could use a "Perfect" brand power nozzle.

Perfect or Riccar? Which one do you think cleans better? | ||

Making the Lewyt 55 clean rugs deeply and sweeping thoroughly. Since it's summer, I might get out my pink shorts and white T-shirts, and run some sweepers. Wait. What? No, nobody wants to see a man in pink shorts. Levi's it is.

Additional options
There are now battery options from Lindhaus and Wessel Werk too. It's a nice easy way to add agitation to your favorite straight suction cleaners.

Tom, you never cease to amaze me! You have bashed Tacony products ever since they shut down the Vac Museum and stopped working for them. Now you go ahead and post that using the Riccar Volt with a Hoover Constellation that it now "get the carpet clean for the first time ever"?!
Amazing how you bash one minute then praise the next....VERY hypocritical of you. | ||

Another view of the Air-Way 77 with Perfect power nozzle. The Volt nozzle works too, but isn't as wide. Note the Wheel A Way wheels it rolls on. A rare option. Like Constellation dollies.

One could always add a power nozzle receptacle to the body of a straight suction canister vacuum, rendering it possible then to use an electric power nozzle. But adding an electric hose and all that doesn't allow you to remove it from the machine when you want to use the machine without the power nozzle. That's what I love about the battery nozzles. Being able to add a power head to all those wonderful machines of the past that never had them.

For the old gal way up North
And just like that, the Tacony nozzle is paired with my super-quiet Lewyt "Big Wheel". The machine has a viewing window, and a clear cellophane strip along the disposable bag. You can see how full the bag is getting without having to open the machine.

Here is a Eureka princess two finally cleaning a carpet with the "perfect" battery powered nozzle. I asked my friend if he would model it wearing pink shorts that were two times too small for him so that his thighs bulged out. He said no real man he knew wore pink shorts.

The Pink Shorts, it's just another way to stir the pot and start trouble. | ||

I love the Perfect power nozzle. The battery makes it dig, as you said. What a wonderful addition to vacuums, like Hoover, that never could get the rug clean any other way. I'll definitely have it, as well as the Volt battery nozzle, out for the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Convention next month. With the film crew and the photographers for the magazine, there will be lots of folks in the Vacuum Cleaner Museum.
