Making old vacuums clean carpets

[dysonman1]

My old Hoover Constellation 82 with the Riccar Volt battery power nozzle. The Hoover can get the carpet clean for the first time ever.

Niiiiice !!!  i added a power nozzle to my    Shop-vac once for  fun   clean well  .  Nothing wrong with adding a pn   to  vacs  who dont have em   enjoy  .

Or, you could use a "Perfect" brand power nozzle.

Making a Rexair work on carpets

It's Perfect.

Perfect or Riccar?

Which one do you think cleans better?

Making the Lewyt 55 clean rugs deeply and sweeping thoroughly. Since it's summer, I might get out my pink shorts and white T-shirts, and run some sweepers. Wait. What? No, nobody wants to see a man in pink shorts. Levi's it is.

Additional options

There are now battery options from Lindhaus and Wessel Werk too. It's a nice easy way to add agitation to your favorite straight suction cleaners.

Tom, you never cease to amaze me! You have bashed Tacony products ever since they shut down the Vac Museum and stopped working for them. Now you go ahead and post that using the Riccar Volt with a Hoover Constellation that it now "get the carpet clean for the first time ever"?!

Amazing how you bash one minute then praise the next....VERY hypocritical of you.

Making the 1955 Air-Way model 77 (with Wheel-A-Way) clean carpets thoroughly.

The Birthman-Built Kenmore Horizon with Perfect power nozzle. What an amazing machine.

Another view of the Air-Way 77 with Perfect power nozzle. The Volt nozzle works too, but isn't as wide. Note the Wheel A Way wheels it rolls on. A rare option. Like Constellation dollies.

Niiiice  but  could one  wire in a  power nozzle   socket on the vacuum  plug in a electric hose w ith pig tail at both  ends and use a regular pn ??   On a straight  suction vac?

 

[dysonman1]

One could always add a power nozzle receptacle to the body of a straight suction canister vacuum, rendering it possible then to use an electric power nozzle. But adding an electric hose and all that doesn't allow you to remove it from the machine when you want to use the machine without the power nozzle. That's what I love about the battery nozzles. Being able to add a power head to all those wonderful machines of the past that never had them.

For the old gal way up North

And just like that, the Tacony nozzle is paired with my super-quiet Lewyt "Big Wheel". The machine has a viewing window, and a clear cellophane strip along the disposable bag. You can see how full the bag is getting without having to open the machine.

That Lewyt is very nice!I had an adaptor made up and use my Volt nozzle with my NSS M1 vacuum!Works well!Like using it with any of my central vacs.

Goddamnit I wish we had this sort of stuff

In Australia, as I would absolutely love to see have some of my vacuums clean with a powerhead, although my question is when it comes to vacuums that use water filtration, is there ever a case of it cleaning “too well”? Well that I would absolutely love to see how this does on my TURBINET 3

Yes  thats what id looove  to  do  to a shop vac that  takes  1 1/4  hose   add a pn   socket and make it a   3  in 1  


 


wet 


dry


power  head  dry 


.  i added a pn  to a shopvac  but i needed a extension to power the  rug  head  id like to have it  internaal   one can  dream  of a Frankenstein  machine haha   

 

[adam-aussie-vac]

What about with one of those shop vac’s with a power takeoff

That way when you start the power nozzle, it automatically turns on the vacuum I would actually be shocked if you guys didn’t have such a thing there

 

[thevacomaticiec]

Oooooh  now  your talking my language  im  looking for one i have  3 pn   anda few spare hose hummmmm
