Now that I have the PN-2 in hand, I have to revise my earlier post. It's now my new favorite Power Nozzle, followed very, very closely by my PN-1. With the existing brush roll in the 'used' position, it cleans just as well as the PN-1 with its brand new brush roll, even for the challenging job of getting cat fur off of a Persian rug. Pretty good for an item that was sold on eBay as "for parts or not working". From an aesthetic standpoint, that polished aluminum cover gives it special coolness, although the PN-1 does get honorable mention for its mid-20th century chic design and being teal to match my 1205.
