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 that there would be no need to recharge the attachement, but the obvious disadvantage would be that such nozzle would be incompatible with straight-suction canisters unless if, with the right kind of connector, the trick about using the power nozzle with the kind of cord like the one I mentionned earlier were used.
About the senario with the upright and the replacement of carpets with bare floors, the upright cleaner should designed to feature an on/off switch for the brushroll so that this brushroll would stop spinning and then, the user would just need to connect the extension hose to the machine, attach the wand(s) and the floor brush and (s)he would be good to go. It's true that for the Sebo Felix and some of the uprights from Lindhaus, there's also an option to just replace the electric nozzle with a floor tool.
Sebo Fan, I do agree that male electric connectors should be durable. What would happen if one of the prongs were broken and stayed stuck in one of the holes in a female connector? Another thing, if the E series canisters from Sebo were hitting store shelves in North America, I hope that all of these canisters would each have an electric socket for the electric hose (or the cord that would run along the hose). Also, in the drawing, the electric cord would be inside the sleeve although some people told me that the bare cord with cuffs that would latch to the hose would be better. Whether or not a cord winder for such cord should be featured would depend on the hose's and vacuum's designs.
