Favorite Electrolux PN?

Of the two I have on hand, I prefer my PN-1 to my PN-5. It just picks up dirt way better, maybe because it has a brand new brush roll. I just bought a PN-2 (love that shiny aluminum) and I'm looking forward to trying it out when it arrives in a few days. I've also got a Sidekick that I love for those special little tasks like vacuuming the cat fur off the La-Z-Boy. Wish I could vacuum the cat with it but I don't see that happening without heavy sedation.

As far as looks go, I love the PN1 and PN2. It bothers me that neither of them have the edge cleaning channels, although the 2 does clean better than the 1. All around, I really enjoy the PN4, but I feel like its profile is too high. Because of this, I usually use a PN5 when cleaning with any of my Luxes. It just flies across the carpet with the new helix style brush roll and really deep cleans.
 
PN-2

I wouldn't trade it for all the later ones, its smaller and much more maneuverable and easier to use too.
 
PN1 because I grew up using it a lot; & also gets under very low furniture that other PNs couldn't get under

PN1692 because it has headlamp & L-shaped
 
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.
