Looking for a Filter Queen Mini Pow-R-Nozzle

[FilterQueenEthan]

I am looking for a Filter Queen mini pow-r-nozzle with the push button hookups. I am looking for one. If you have one that works in good shape I am interested. They are rare as they only made them a few years in the 1990s

Good luck in finding one!

There's just top 2 off ebay.

That one with the box is much better value.

As others mentioned, they show up on eBay regularly. They usually will need a new belt, the belts are hard to find and are not cheap.

I have seen a similar one that is brand new and probably still for sale, maybe that belt is compatable.

Does it use a geared belt like a Sidekick or a flat stretch belt like a Pet Powermate?

The flat stretch belt. This nozzle is the same as the older square power mate Jr.
Here is what I bought for both, on eBay.

It is a fairly common design.

Thanks! I ordered 2 of them 1 for $54 and one for $32 both after shipping. I know these machines inside and out, so if it breaks, I can fix it easily. Besides being the classiest looking machines on the floor, they have a ton of power, very reliable and very easy to fix!

 

[centralsweeper63]

Great to hear. Best of luck to you.

I was wondering if it was a derivative of the first generation Powermate Jr.

It is also a generic one on Amazon.

Which is that?

I can't remember, saw it early last year. I will have a look though.

Weasel Work ( Wessel Werk ) is selling one. I bought one for my Lindhaus Aria Platinum. Works nice but I had to sand the daylights out of the female connection because it was just a hair too small diameter for the Lindhaus hose end ( even though their ad literature clearly shows their brush on the end of a Lindhaus hose ! ). Had raw fingers after that adventure, but it fits now and completes the Aria nicely. It is nothing like the Filter Queen or Kenmore electric hand brushes.

That is a really nice brush. Rainbow had another one too.

In Japan they call the Rainbow hand brush the Futon Mate.

Interesting.

Have you had many issues with the Aria? I’ve heard that the hose can be problematic and the cord reel. I’ve seen a few on eBay previously, I found it interesting that they have a flat power cord"

I do like my 95x, I’m always impressed with the amount of dust it captures! I agree that the Filter Queen is one the classiest canisters, it might be between the FQ and Lux Olympia One for me. I find that they are a pain to empty, but I don’t do it often. I wanted to get the Wessel Werk upgrade kit, but they’re no longer available. The Douglas power nozzle isn’t my favorite.

I have ran a little of everything, but we have had Filter Queens for 65 years now. I won't have anything else!
