oh wow, did I miss some action
Sounds like the fun is starting already. I'm settled in my hotel room, just got back from sitting in the hot tub for a while. I brought all 10 of my power nozzles with me, I don't have a vacuum to hook them up to yet, but since I did bring a cord that allows you to power them without an electric hose, I thought I would see how they did with this hotel carpet. Most of them were moving accross the carpet by themselves, and even heating up the carpet a bit, so their brush rolls were definitely digging in pretty well. Even on the lowest setting for those that have height adjustment, they were still very easy to move, not getting bogged down at all. The only nozzles that didn't try to run away were the Wessel Werk ebk280, this is a smaller nozzle and has a softer brush roll, this nozzle probably works well on area rugs, but definitely not as powerful as its bigger brothers. The Wessel Werk ebk340 had a bit of the self propel, but still not as much as the other nozzles. The Wessel Werk ebk360, Sebo et2, Lindhaus PB14 pro, Riccar universal nozzle, Centec CT23, and the other two nozzles that I have all tried to run accross the carpet. I didn't test the CT10 since it's not designed for thicker carpets, it's designed for area rugs and hard floors. I'm not sure who made the other two nozzles that I brought, one is kind of a clone of the Wessel Werk ebk360, it has a height adjustment and an LED light, it came with the kit for adding a power nozzle to a backpack. The other offbrand nozzle came with my Metropoliton canister, it's kind of a clone of the Eureka rug master, the brush roll on this nozzle actually gets pretty deep in to the carpet. Can't wait to hook these up to some vacuums and test them on some different types of carpet. I didn't bring the Volt since that's already at the museum. Testing these nozzles on this carpet was really awesome, I'm glad I brought my collection of power nozzles.
