I love using these power nozzles. I notice no problems with the connection being off to the far side and not in the middle. I received an explanation one time of why they did that, something about aerodynamics.
Ryan1994Jeep. The Red PowerMax Deluxe canister above with see through bag lid is model S3608. The Blue PowerMax Deluxe canister with see through lid as you describe would be S3606. These were available up to around 2005. Both of these models have the revised sticker on power nozzle plate from previous Hoover PowerMax canisters. Both would have 9.3Amp motors, no belt view window no on/off switch for agitator.
A dark navy blue Hoover PowerMax could PowerMax Supreme would be S3603 or S3611. However those machines would be 1997 area. Both models would have covered tool storage, storage/ carrying hook on lower chrome wand for attaching to canister, just as seen on Windtunnel canisters. They would also hoave: micro post motor filter, agitator on/off switch in hose handle, belt view windows, 9.8 Amp motors and Hoovers Cleaning Effectiveness Per Amp ratings of 12.0. The Supreme model S3611 which was really more of an emerald green I believe would have on/off switch for entire unit in hose handle along with variable speed electronic motor control.
The previous PowerMaxs with number prefixes: 850 etc. I know nothing about and really need a history lesson on this era. I would be about 10 years old during that time period and knew nothing about what was on the market from any company yet had interest!!
