    Aerus Electrolux Classic

    If you really wanted one badly a good central vac installer would figure it out. Usually you can run it through a down stairs closet to reach the second floor.

    Dyson cordless wands

    Had the same thing happen but mine was at the floor end. Dyson took care of it but still, don't use it that much and never expected that to happen.

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    @ Rob shore I tried negotiating with health mor and he basically you said you don't like the price buh bye...honestly eBay is my best bet, that's where I got my 80th anniversary one from that was brand new. These D2D Dealers cater to the demographic that typically falls for all the gimmicky...

    Hoover Quik Broom, With a power head?

    Or look for a Hoover flair with PN. I was blown away when I got mine, the brushroll actually beats the carpet and the suction is unexpected. I know the brush is a lite more aggressive than the one you have pictured. Plus if you remove the PN on the flair you can attach a regular bare floor...

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    I do wish I hadn't sold mine. I called the factory to ask about buying directly from them since we have no dealer close by, the price I got quoted was ridiculous. $2,600. Given I know what the rainbow, Kirby and guardian platinum go for when dealers buy them I thought this was quite the...

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    Ok I figured that the machines with the new PN style were all the same suction. Motor.

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    I had the 80th anniversary edition and didn't like the PN for the exact reasons you stated. I was always curious if mine had the single stage motor? It kinda sounded annoying like a singe stage but not too bad if that makes sense

    Spencer Carwash Vacuums

    Crazy That company is one exit up from me and all the years growing up passing by I always wondered what spencer turbine was. I always figured it was an aviation thing since we have a lot of businesses in CT that build parts for planes and helicopters. It wasn't till a couple years ago that I...

    Won an Oreck XL21!

    I can tell you hands down the 21/ platinum series does better than the old style all around. Plus you get all those tune ups every year, granted you have a shop that knows how to do them well.

    Won an Oreck XL21!

    Love it, aside from the tacony lightweights its a power house. The only negetive is the brushroll is a small diameter so it wraps with hair quickly. Also buy a new brush roll for it every couple years.

    Here Come the 2016 Dysons!

    When are they going to put a legit electric PN. Back on their canisters. The size of the cinetic nozzle would be great if they just added rear wheels to it and an elbow it would make a good power head to add to their canisters. But they seem to be stuck on this whole turbo thing

    Late 80's Electrolux PN5 = which current version??

    Good to know about the PN-3. I wondered why they didn't called the CB that used the pn4 a pn5 and the ones that used a pn5 a pn6 and so on, because they all had three wires. Guess we'll never know the thought process

    Guardian Platinum brush roll

    I bought one of mine from Dan, it was brand new as he said. I've toyed with making the wheels fixed as you've said, I could see how it would push it forward more causing the nozzles to dig. I've always found the pn5 to dig the most, the PN6 is close but the bush strip causes some drag. The...

    Late 80's Electrolux PN5 = which current version??

    I'm pretty sure the PN 3 was for the heavy duty upright, that brush roll was very similar to a pn4 but just different enough, so my guess would be that was the unbranded PN 3

    Late 80's Electrolux PN5 = which current version??

    The perfect has the same style bottom plate as a PN 5, after the PN 6 they had a different style bottom.

    Guardian Platinum brush roll

    If you don't mind using a power nozzle that did not come with the machine using a tristar definitely helps. I feel the same way about my platinum, trying the green brush didn't really do it for me. But like I said adding a tristar nozzle makes all the difference, feels much more effective/...

    Guardian Platinum brush roll

    I' have two of the green ones I got new one from a member on here and one from a vac shop. I don't see what the hype is about, I have it installed on my Renaissance and 3500sr, I can't really feel a difference. When putting the regular brush back in it seemed the same.
