Thank you for the info, Twocv... It gives me more insight looking at all the options on one sheet. It appears that there is a version specific to power nozzles. That makes sense, as the PN belt is off to the side, whereas the belt on the Sanitaire upright attaches to the fan pulley right down...

Despite it's shortcomings I, too, really like the performance of my DC23. It's powerful, filters well (I understand the new separation technology is even better, but I haven't had problems with noticeable dust on my DC23 filter), and the turbinehead brush worked fine on the carpet I had. The...

Hi, Gareth. It sounds great! I'll have to keep an eye out for a good deal one. Between the Tristar CXL, DC23, and Electrolux Ultralux 80th Anniversary, it will have to be a really good deal for me to justify the extra cash outlay to pick up the Dyson ball. I'm salivating, though.

I've been doing some research on the Eureka Rotomatic power nozzle. I got it as part of a Power Team combo. It's got the brushroll that has two rows of brush strips along with two red/orange beater bars per side. I know there's a name for it but I can't remember what it's called. I read that...

I hope it works out with your family... Best wishes to you.

Wow. Looks great. WW PN is on my list!

Thanks for posting the great pictures, William. Both the Rainbow and Hyla GST look like quality units. I'll have to look at my NST power nozzle, but I seem to recall that it has a center separator and that the brushroll is made of wood. They look similar otherwise, but the NST power nozzle is...

Cord polarization... Well, I'm pretty sure the power nozzle cord is not polarized, but I'm not sure. Please don't be confused by the picture of the PlayStation plug that I posted above. That one IS polarized. Thus the one flat side to force the orientation. The plug on the power nozzle cord...

Maybe still a problem... OK, I just looked at the video again. There may be some chance that the issue I described above will still be a problem. The handle on the new DC39, while attached to the main body instead of the bin, is still articulated where it meet the top of the bin. That means if...

DC39/37 Hi, Gareth. I saw the video for the DC39 and I'm really liking what I see. Having used both, how would you describe the funtional differences between the DC39 and the older DC23 Turbinehead? Dyson claims an improved cyclone design offering improved filtering and greater power. Do you...

Sanitaire bumper... I actually have run across a lot of ads for Sanitaire bumper online but had no idea they were available for a very wide range of PNs and vacuums. Looks like there are several different manufacturers making these.

Bumpers... Hi, Sebo_fan. Ha ha, never seen that bumper but I can see it could be useful if it works. I looked around and aparently there is an aftermarket for these. Here is one for the ET-1 PN...

Rainbow PN... Hi, William. Yes, the Hyla is cool. Lol, I have given my NST a quick run to make sure it works, but have had no real time to give it a real test. I like the Art Deco styling of the NST a lot. The GST seems more modern, but very cool none-the-less. I like the LED lights inside...

The Clarke PN plug... I was unable to find a pic of the PN plug and no time to find the camera. Here is a pic of a Playstation power cord, however, that has a similar looking plug. On the vacuum, both sides of the plug profile are rounded instead of the one flat side that the Playstation plug...

Clarke in use... And here is what it looks like in action. The Clarke Filtrapac is cool because it also has a port for a PN. You can see the lady using one in the pic. It has an interesting connector. It's not the standard pigtail PN connector, like you find on Tristars, Panasonics, and some...

I like that Nilfisk... The articulation is cool. Here is what the Clarke looks like...

Okay. You will kill me... ...but I was in the thrift store today and I found the exact same vacuum we are talking about for $4. $4!!! It was in very good cosmetic. Quite a bit nicer than the one I gave to my brother, but not as nice as the minty one I found, of course. When I turned it on all...

GST vs. NST... Nice machine! From your observations it seems you probably prefer the Rainbow? Do you know what the differences between your GST and the previous generation NST are? They both appear to use the same Weasel Werks PN. I could be wrong. The GST looks like a very nice machine!

A good discussion... Good points about the sweet spot and the ultimate goal of removing/picking up dirt. When looked in that light one can see how design and implementation play a big role in effectiveness. Not just raw power. The reason I got the backpack was for quick and efficient detail...

Value - doesn't necessarily mean lowest price, but that whatever you are getting gives you the most bang for the buck. I think for a good straight carpet-only cleaner it's hard to beat a Sanitaire. The SC688 has the same specs, and I would think the same or similar performance, as the chrome...
