    Sirena with a different powerhead

    Thank you, Dysonman1, for answering my question! I think I know what to do if I do get a Sirena and the PN does break or malfunction. Instead of buying a new PN of another brand, I should register the Sirena PN online, contact the store where I would have bought the set and ask the shop owner...

    We Bought a Sirena!

    Are there other people who can answer my question about the comparison between a Sirena and models of other brands?

    Sirena with a different powerhead

    It's good to know that PN's for Sirena canisters are interchangable with those for the Rainbow models of the E series. But do let me guess... The Wessel Werk PN's that come with Sirena canisters have the same connectors as the Sirena model, but the ones for central vacuum systems have other...

    Sirena with a different powerhead

    So the electric hose for the Sirena has the universal kind of connector, like those for most central vacuum systems, which lets someone use a Lindhaus PN or the HEB 160 PN (with a pigtail cord) with the Sirena?

    It would have been great if a Sirena owner would answer my question.

    Sirena with a different powerhead

    I've recently been doing research on Sirena vacuum cleaners and noticed that some pictures show a Sirena canister with a powerhead modeled EBK 360 from Wessel Werk instead of the Sirena PN. This makes me wonder, can other PN's from Wessel Werk (including the compact HEB 160) and those from...

    We Bought a Sirena!

    I've been looking into websites involving Sirena products and I'm interested in them. I was thinking about comparing a Sirena model with those of competing brands in the same price range and consider getting a Sirena if I have the money. You, Bobbi, would most likely recommend a Sirena over a...

    From straight-suction canister to canister with electric attachments

    Hey Vinvac, I did forget to mention about the vintage Kenmore canisters in the first post of this thread and thank you for remindimg me.

    From straight-suction canister to canister with electric attachments

    There have been a lot of discussions about the Volt and this made me think of something. What if a dirty air nozzle like what the Volt and the Hoover Convertibles have were designed as a power head that could be attached to electric wands? The advantage this would have over the Volt would be...

    New full-size powerhead from Electrolux

    The power nozzle looks modernized but the guy seems to have a hard time making pushing strokes. I wonder if the nozzle will be available in Canada.

    From straight-suction canister to canister with electric attachments

    So Sebo Fan, I think I understand something about the Sebo canisters of the K series. It's that K3 models with female connectors for electric hoses but without power heads are on the market in Europe but not in Canada (the only canisters of the K series without electric brushes that are...

    From straight-suction canister to canister with electric attachments

    One of the things that worries me about designs in vacuum cleaners, it's that most straight-suction canisters can't be upgraded to accept motorized powerheads. Among those that do, there are: -residential canisters from Zelmer; -commercial/industrial canisters from JohnnyVac; -vintage...

    Vacuum Attachment Found

    Check the connector's diameter.

    Riccar VOLT Cordless Power Nozzle

    Tell me about something. If a lot of these cordless Volt nozzles that could be retrofitted to straight-suction canisters were mass-produced, would there be a shrinking demand on turbo brushes, including the Turbocats?

    Power Nozzle for Vintage Tank/Canister Vacs

    The Volt is such a fascinating item but I have several questions about it. Can the Volt be connected to a non-electric hose with a handle that has a friction-fit type connector that's 1 1/4in in diameter? Would it be necessary to drill a hole on such handle and add a c-clip button spring (like...

    the best nozzle for cleaning hard floors

    Hey, I'm thinking of a kind of floor brush that has the following features: -It has a swivel neck like the one modeled D 330 from Wessel Werk; -It has an LED headlight (which could be battery operated if it's used with a non-electric hose); -There is a rubber strip around the floor tool to...

    cleaning vacuum tools (i.e. bare floor brush)

    I do clean the bristles after each time I use the floor brush, the dusting brush or one of the turbo heads for cleaning stuff, by removing dirty matters with my fingers. I sometimes use the crevice tool or the plain hose tip to clean the attachments' interiors and bristles. I never put my...

    Electric extension hose

    It's true that not all canisters would need an extension hose, because of the weight, size and shape. I wouldn't need such hose for my own Dirt Devil canister but for uprights and large and heavy canisters, that hose would be useful. Yeah, electric extension hoses would most likely only be...

    Different attachments for different kinds of Tacony models

    That's got to be true, that power nozzles can get connected to different branded canisters if the connectors matched. Now as for the female plug connectors on hoses for Miele's, Kenmore's, canisters of other brands and central vacuums, would someone show me pictures of these connectors so that...
