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

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.

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?

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

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

Back to “Making old vacuums clean carpets”…..
Today I saw the Perfect power nozzle for the first time. A friend of mine has been selling them in his shop. He uses them to upsell with a straight suction canister if a customer returns with buyers remorse. I was really impressed with the way it digs into the carpet pile. It seems like the weight of the battery helps to push it into the pile. I’m considering one of these for my Capricorn just because it’s old and not worth buying a new SEB 236 power nozzle.

I love the Perfect power nozzle. The battery makes it dig, as you said. What a wonderful addition to vacuums, like Hoover, that never could get the rug clean any other way. I'll definitely have it, as well as the Volt battery nozzle, out for the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Convention next month. With the film crew and the photographers for the magazine, there will be lots of folks in the Vacuum Cleaner Museum.
