Hey y'all, I snagged this from the vacuum shop, do any of you need a NOS power head for a Bissell DigiPro canister? It's never even seen dirt and I was probably the first one to open the box! Make me an offer and I'll send it your way 😎

I could not find a pic of one.
I have never seen an L shaped power nozzle from Samsung. They had the PH90 which was closely based on the old GE power nozzle later used by Filter Queen and later they started selling this one you see.

Because parts for the Samsung power nozzles are long out of production and Samsung vacuums were popular in Canada, Hibbert International sold a hose that fit Samsung canisters that had a normal Samsung canister swivel end, what looked like a generic Aerus hose material but it had a different hose end with a spout that fit any central vacuum wand. With that set up you could use any central vacuum power nozzle like maybe a Lindhaus PB14 or Sebo ET350. Maybe that is what Panasonicvac saw?

I went a different way and put a Samsung neck into a Filter Queen CA-93 power nozzle. It fit perfectly. Samsung used large diameter upside down wands and their hose handle is female so you can't just plug a Samsung hose into any old wand. It worked but the F-Q power nozzle is wretched.
 
That is good to hear that is works but bad that it is bad to use. I can imagine that the Samsung is nice to use however it just looks low quality.
That Samsung nozzle is nothing special but at least it is easy to use and doesn't weigh a lot. If anything it could benefit for some strategically placed weight on the nose. The F-Q CA-93 power nozzle is unbelievably heavy and hard to push yet the agitation is not that good.
 
I wonder if anyone will every make a self propelled power nozzle.
In the late 1980s Panasonic offered what they called a "Dual Sweep" power nozzle with their premium canister models MC9537 and MC9540. The Dual Sweep power nozzles had a neck with just a wee bit of fore and aft play, and a microswitch in the neck that told a circuit board which direction you were pushing or pulling the nozzle. The motor had this big heavy clutch assembly and gear train that would change the direction the brush roll turned. The brush roll and sole plate are thick durable steel. Quality stuff. The switch from going forward to going backward and then going forward again was lightning fast and it really makes the nozzle easy to push. Ahem, which is a good thing because it weighed more than any power nozzle you have ever used, omg it is heavy and the length of the motor and drive line forced it to have a suction inlet way over to the side opposite the belt, much like an upright vacuum nozzle. It required a special belt made of thick silicon. The non-reversing version of that nozzle sold with the lower tier MC9500 series vacuums is actually easier to use, though still heavy compared to other brands of power nozzle.
